'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

I'm not sure if it is politically correct to quote Mr Glitter on your blog.Anyway back on the right track -plus over 400 schnoops and some all round -good betting.Twenty or thirty good bets and only one loss 200 odd quid on guess what Rugby Union.This loss was only caused by extremely poor liquidity with only about 70k traded on the enitire game.Take a duke below at the results for Week 47

'One finger, one thumb, one hand, keep moving.' -The Story of Week 46
Well thing more of One Conversion,One Late Goal,One putt (and one fabulous victory),Keep Loosing
The story of Week 46
All started well -was up nearly a 100 quid by Fri
Decided to have a wee punt on Nadal v Davydenko
Nadal looked to of hurt his leg -real bad
so I bet on Davydenko -200 odd schnoops
Next -Out of my 'comfort zone'
Layed the away team in the Friday Nite Football
Could of closed out -at any time- other than about the 88th minute when the away team scored
Guess what -400 odd schnoops for Fri.

This -should not have been a problem

Plenty of Rugby and some Footballing Mis Matches and I would of been back in Profit for Week 46

Sadly not to be

Bet firstly on Eng to win at rugby -this was to be their day (it had been forty yrs since they lost 7 in a row)Well so shit was the England performance in the first half -I felt that I couldn't take another 40 mins of that absolute SHITE!So I jumped ship -leaving a 300 schnoops liability on SA

It then Just got worse and worse and even worse

An extremely poor (desperate) bet on the tea time Premiership Rugby -200 odd schnoops

Over nite bet on 'Bank of Tiger' -lost over 300+ schnoops

Then bet against -my own Ireland,but I thought they would win -300 odd schnoops

Total for the Week -1000 odd quid

Broke Assassin

'Nothing ventured -nothing gained'-the story of Week45
Sometimes -you can be just too cautious
My two most dangerous bets included Newcastle Falcons to win (at home) against the worst side in the Premiership and Tiger not to be beaten by the 77 best player in the World
Not exactly Liverpool to win the Champions League while 3-0 to the mighty AC Milan (600-1)
Well both -loosers therefore struggled all week to recover over 300 pounds
But Profit is profit
and 22 quid is 22 quid

Motor Racing - what do I know about it?
Well answer nothing!
But it could of been worse -at least my nuts didn't fall off
Just seconds after I placed over 200 schnoops on Alonso to win -his nuts fell off!
Worse -Just after placing a much larger amount on Karlsson to win -guess what -he lost his Balls!
Couple this with attempted trades on RU and Soccer and what do you get -probably the worst loosing week of the 06 Season so far
Thank God that Tiger -has balls of Steel
Otherwise I would of been lookin down the barrell of a 900 schnoops calamity

'Well that was the week that was' -The story of Week 29
and what a week it was
I 'traded' for the very first time(made a small profit)
I broke a 'cardinal' rule and bet on the crapest of pre season friendlies (lost nearly 100 schnoops)
I 'traded'again and made yet more money
I then tried trading again (thinkin it was easy) and lost nearly 200 schnoops
Long story short I had spent almost all of July makin a tidy profit of nearly 450 schnoops
Just to loose almost all of it on the penultimate day of July 06 -Clever Assassin
Oh and then I thought I would just place one more bet -just to help me sleep
Oh and yes I won over 300 schnoops on the Golf -which helped
Oh and then I realised I had paid about 14 schnoops in Commision
So that was the Week that was -Week 29 in the Smiling Assassin House
(I will endeavour to graphically repesent as much of this last week of july as is possible)

The Assassin gets it Hard!(Part 2) The story of Week 19

Just when you think you're loosing run is over

Guess what it is time to get back in the saddle

Week 19 went marginally better than week 18

But still the Assassin really got it hard!

I made a decision

I decided that the Seville V Middlesborough UEFA Cup match -would not end 4-0

So I layed 'Any other Score' at about 60-1 and then again at about 100-1

Result of course being a 400 schnoop disaster for the Assassin

and Secondly I took Roger Federrer when he was well ahead in the fifth set in Hamburg

I took him at 1.75

and again at 1.16

looked to be goin my way

TILL A BIG FAT LADY STARTED BELTIN OUT A FEW TUNES

So the Assassin gets it hard

However The World Cup is just around the corner

perhaps a chance to fix some of the recent mishaps

On a brighter note I am now 5mths into my year long challenge

And I am still ahead of the game

and I have made betfair a fortune in commision

Sad Assassin

The Assassin gets it Hard!(Part1) The story of week 18

The Assassin gets it hard

The story of Week 18

Week 18 was originally goin to be called 'The Year Dott'

because that is where it all went pear shaped

But it just got worse and worse

I lost a couple of hundred schnoops on Dott

then spent the rest of the week chasing it back

But it could of been -much much worse

when you are behind you tend to take bigger risks
