'The Last Post' (Well of 2006)

What a day!For me the Final Betting Day of 2006 (Saturday)
If you have read my previous post you will know that Dec has been extra difficult
So with just a day to go -It was time to put up or shut up
a time to stand up and be counted -well that is exactly what I did
I came home from the Gym -backed a cricket bet and within 3 balls I was +100 schnoops
Next I weaselled my way round the 7 goals or more markets and narrowly avoided a disaster on the Charlton game.Then came a fantastic Sheffield Utd v Arsenal match.I saw a great opportunity here and I moved to take advantage of it-and so I did.I finished this most precious of days with a Darts Dabble
Therefore my Gross Profits for this Day -Exactly mirror my profits for Difficult December!

Day No 364 2006

Day No 364 2006
06 Comes -06 Goes
The Assassin is still smiling -Just!
On this 364th Day of 2006
The Assassin has used his 5k Bank to good effect
I have made just over 2k of pure profit
I have also paid well over 1k to Big Blue Arse
In Dec I have made +50p
(I have lost well over 3k -Mr Drogba,Ronnie 'The Space Rocket',Matt Willis 'King of the Jungle',West Ham v Man U etc etc oh lets not forget the Mosconi Cup)
Click Pic-to see what I mean

So how do I stand approaching the top of the 2006 hill.Looking into the lush rolling valleys that make up 2007.Well as I said I am up 50p -I will demonstrate this with 2 more pics (from my UK & Ozzie Wallets)

Commission Watch (29.Dec.06)

As I said previously it is very much my intention to post much more often
So today I thought I would keep you up to date with my commission problem
I currently pay just under 5% (which is far too much)
So yet again this month I have paid well over 100 pounds
For example if this level was half
Then I would have pocketed -well over 600 pounds Extra (for 2006) in pure profits (take home pay)
I have a picture that illustrates my commission for Dec 06

Anyway to more pressing matters

In my next post I will me giving a detailed break down of how I have lost well over 3 grand in the month of Dec but have managed to get all but 50 quid back again with just 2 days to go

'The Nightmare B4 Xmas'

My New Yrs Resolution is to post everyday
Mind you last year I wasn't going to touch Chocolate until I lost my first bet of the year(3.20pm -Day 1)
So today's post is to tell ya how CRAP Dec 06 has been for me so far.
Mid way through Dec my UK wallet was down well over a grand and my Oz Wallet down near 600
Making Dec potentially the shitest month you could think of

Midway through Dec 06 -1056 and......Don't forget -Down Under

-525 Thanx to the Newly crowned 'King of the Jungle'

But Now -The Good News!

With just a few days left in 2006 I have Battled to Beat the system.With just a few days to go -I am down just a couple of hundred pounds (a fantastic comeback from such a deficit).So how to get back on top?The answer is simple -tread carefully,pick up a few quid here and there.Fortunately Hayden & Symmonds seemed to have helped.So softly softly over the next few days,If England don't win over the next few days then my 'Oz Wallet' will benefit by 75 schnoops bringing me back to within 100 pounds of winning nothing -just like Nov 06 .But as a 'would be' this is not an option.Take out Sky Subscription,pc,broadband and a possible Setanta subscription -I need to bring home the Bacon in 2007

'A Tale of Two Cities'

I read a post this week that made me extremely angry
Those who know me -know that anger isn't an emotion that I do
To read the post I am talking about Click Here
That was the last racing trade of the day and I ended with a profit of £1138 and still no commission to be paid due to the Betdaq offer of 0% commission on all in running racing.


When I compare this to my greatest winning punt of 2006 Click Here to view my biggest win of 2006

The difference comes with Betdaq offering 0% on 'In-Running' Horse Racing.I paid 4.6% on my healthy winnings.Some may think that forty odd quid is a tiny price to pay to be able to use a fantastic global  exchange to make a living in 2006.I feel it is a bit steep.Give us some incentives.Betdaq again offers an absolutely fabulous offer of 1% on Test Cricket.What a fantastic offer!

So the war starts here 'The Purple Helmet Campaign'

Fairer and better commissions in 2007

The main reason behind this campaign is this

Every month this year -I have bet nearly 100 grand

Every month this yr I have either won or lost a good few pounds

But -every month this yr Betfair have taken a very tidy profit (win or loose)

Betfair listen to me

Reduce your commisions  or  offer  some incentives or the Purple Helmet Campaign will simply grow and grow in 2007

Darts News (Wed 20th Dec)

Darts News (Wed 20th Dec)
Started simple enough
Bet on the darts guys that can't loose in the early rounds
Wayne Mardle,Taylor and Barneveld
Simple
Backed Mardle for 333 schnoops at 1.08 (he had started at 1.16)
Make 16pounds and off to bed to watch Lost
Mardle lost the first set -then the second set
Some bloke using Ladbrokes placed a bet of 70grand on Mardle to win
So I added 222 schnoops to my position -looking to trade out
As the match progressed I had got Mardle Green 111,Caves Red 222
Seemed Ok
Then I thought if (by the slightest chance I do not win then this week is the hardest of all to get it back)
So I traded out ten quid green on both

Mardle Lost

I Won

'I just Didier think it was possible?' The Story of Week 50

It all started very badly
I had decided that the Mosconi Cup -wouldn't end in a draw
but when this seemed even more unlikely -I had doubled my stakes
This meant that Week 50 started down by over -400 schnoops
So I needed to tread carefully all week
Which I did
Until a grand disaster befell me
Again chasing money I decided to take advantage of Chelsea being 2-1 down to Everton with only a few minutes left
Up stepped Lampard and then Drogba -brilliant
Down -600 schnoops
So tried to get it back immediately
Stade Francais -seemed a good option,nope!-200 schnoops
Man United a certain banker,nailed on -nope!-300 schnoops
Sunday afternoon -turning into a Grand Disaster!
So how to hit back
Bank of Tiger +300
Bank of Ebdon +400
then finally 'Bank of England' plus another 150 schnoops(I obviously bet against England)
Result of Week 50 -237

'What you talkin about -Willis?' The Story of Weeks 48&49

So nothing much else to report
Results for Week 48 -300
Results for Week 49 -100

52 Week Rolling Average

Hard to believe -I have now been keeping Proper Detailed (Profitable Results) for One Entire Calendar Year.Since Dec 05 five weeks in Dec 05 followed by 47 weeks of 2006.This tells me a number of things
Firstly :- I am now a Profitable Assassin (last year -I lost a fortune)

Secondly:- I should expect a Large Present from Betfair -because my tolling night and day brought me a net profit of nearly Two Grand.Betfair made a net profit I would guess of well over 1200 pounds in commission 'sitting on their fat blue arse!'

Thirdly:-Am I now a professional  gambler?(following an occupation as a means of livelihood or for gain).Well the answer would appear to be yes.In 52 'working weeks' I produced 2250 pounds of profit -if you divide this by 52 and you get my '52 Week Rolling Average of Approximately 44 pounds per week.

The Final thing I can conclude is how almost like a premiership Campaign it is vitally Important to get off to a good,solid start as I have discovered that it was in fact Week 14 before I started to make any profit at all after such a poor  start Click to view poor first month

As always I have some pictures & charts to demonstrate -see below
