May Bank holiday Saturday is always a tricky time to pick winners. For the first time in 25 years I've placed a treble bet on Tottenham, Arsenal, Man City. Multiple betting has been a disaster in the past, but this time my hopes are high. As things stand at the moment:

Tottenham 1-0
Arsenal 0-2
Man City 3-0

All three are winning!! Will this be my weekend?

Time will tell...

Spurs v West Brom Backing Under 2.5 Goals

This was my cover bet and I traded just before Spurs scored making a very nice green book to make the treble bet totally free.

Here's today's In-Play List from Betfair:

The first semi-final turned out to be a real cracker with both sides going for goals. Dinamo scored first and then sat back letting Shakhtar in for plenty of shoots on goal. Although I was sat with a potential £42 win if the score went 2-0, I decided to trade and recover my stake while making a very modest profit. As it happens I was right. Shakhtar scored and the game ran out 1-1 giving a nice payout on my cover bet Over 1.5 goals.

Fixtures 30 April Dinamo Kiev v Shakhtar / Correct Score / 2 - 0 Net winnings of GBP2
Fixtures 30 April Dinamo Kiev v Shakhtar / Over/Under 1.5 Goals Net winnings of GBP10.2

Today's In-Play football list is not very good and I can find no value other than Unirea Urziceni v Gloria Bistrita.

Heres' my bets for that match:

Basically, Manchester United scored early in the first half and hang on to win 1-0 and my Draw bet went tits-up. Desperately trying to recover at least the stake money I placed a 2-0 correct score bet with 30 minutes to go. At the time this seemed like a good idea. However, it just increased my losses and considerably reduced my overall bank. Profit and loss for this week is looking grim and I'm really in need of a few green books.

I guess that's the way things go, win some, lose some and hope to get a profit at some stage.

UEFA Cup Semi-Finals (Both Matches Live on ITV 4)

Today's In-Play Football starts at 17:30 with Ukrainian rivals Dinamo Kiev v Shakhtar playing in the UEFA Cup semi-final first leg.

Dynamo are 12 points clear of Shakhtar in the domestic table with the Premier League title within their grasp. Shakhtar have little chance of winning a Champions League place, so this match is about all they have left to win this season.

Shakhtar have five players at risk of collecting a second yellow card which would rule them out of the second leg. This along with playing away should make them approach the game with caution defending in depth and probably try to nick a late goal.

Dynamo absolutely destroyed in-form French side Paris St Germain to reach the last four and will no doubt approach this game in a similar manner.

My Crystal Bollixs predict 2-0, but be warned the old well worn bollixs have been wrong most of this week.

Here's the In-Play list for today and my two bets that have already been matched along with a low stake double with a big payout:

You have really got to laugh at some of the reporting on last night's Barca v Chelsea match. I heard this comment on Radio 4's morning sports news update:

Excitable Reporter; "Chelsea got a defensive victory last night in a nil-nil draw against Barcelona... etc etc"

Defensive victory my arse! If anything 0-0 away gives a big advantage to Barcelona as an away goal in the second leg will scupper Chelsea.

This might be a bit of sour grapes from me, as I lost all my profits from last week and yesterday by Laying the draw.

19:45 Man Utd v Arsenal
This is the bet I should have done last night. I'm hoping for an early Arsenal goal and Man U to score around the 55 minute mark... then I'll trade 'til my crystal Bollixs fall off!
That's the plan, I'm hoping it's a good 'un.

12:00 Minyor Pernik v Litex Lovech
14:30 Pirin Blagoevgrad v Levski Sofia
I was going to Back Over 1.5 goals in this game at half time. The starting odds for Levski were very short, while Pirin were big outsiders. This type of price difference is usual good for 2 goals or more. However, a gut feeling made me pause and hold off. As it happens I was right. The match ended 1-0 to Pirin. Sometimes these early doors games are better left.

16:30 Arka Gdynia v Slask Wroclaw
2 - 2 Odds 23 Back Stake £2.00 Profit £44.00
This one has just gone into play. No goals after 10 minutes... please not another 0-0 feckle!

Yesterday's football bets ended up fairly even, although if I'd have held my nerve a £54 to £20 draw bet on Newcastle could have been made. However, I traded early for a even green book and won 8 quid when the final score ended at 0-0. The first match (Sliven v Chernomorets) also ended 0-0 but the match between FC Midtjylland v SonderjyskE was a cracker with the big outsiders Sonder winning 2-4. Again I traded early and made a reasonable green book on over 2.5 goals, but then put a Back bet on 2-2 correct score and failed to trade quickly enough and Sonder scored another 2 goals within a few minutes.

Live and learn.

Barca v Chelsea Tonight

This could ended up 1-1 or maybe 2-1 it all depends on how Chelsea let the tackles fly in. I'm going to wait until after the first 15 minutes before placing a bet on this game.

Early Doors Correct Score in Denmark and Today's In-Play Matches

Hello all, I'm finally back at work after contracting a very vicious throat virus. During my absence, the AskJack website passed the half million visitor mark, which should rightfully be cause for celebration.

The most popular pages remain fairly consistent with "Step Back 360 Years Using 360 degree Panoramic Technology"; "Pacific Bread Maker User Guide Page 5 and 6" and "Typing in the Nude and a Head for Lacy Lingerie" accounting for the most recent surge in visitors.

My betting experiments at Betfair attract interest from the casual visitor and also direct from search engines. Keeping a record of bets made and reasons why the bet was either a Lay or a Back can be a very useful resource especially if the teams involved are offshore.

Profit and Loss for the Last Seven Days

Darts: -GBP2.54 | Horse Racing: GBP1.60 | Snooker: -GBP12.06 | Soccer: GBP53.67 Total P&L: GBP40.67

In-Frame betting on the snooker is a bit tricky and you have to be very quick to close positions and retain your stake with a modest green book.

Most of the football profit came from early doors offshore games in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland and Holland mostly using a Back bet on over 2.5 goals and trading after 2 goals are scored. The main risk in this type of bet is the dreaded 0-0 draw, so I look for matches that have strong favourites playing at home. This seems to work 75% of the time often with the required 3 goals scored in the first half.

Klaarsen gave up against Barney in the darts on Thursday night reducing my darts profit from £15.70 to a dismal -£2.54.

I'm not sure where the £1.60 horse racing profit came from, as I don't recall placing any bets on the "nags".

Minimum stakes and low liability betting does work, but you'll never make a decent living from it (grin). Today's In-Play Football

A Venture into the Ante Post Market for the English Greyhound Derby May 30th 2009

My only experience of betting anti-post turned out to be a disaster. I backed Jack the Giant to win this year's Cheltenham Gold Cup £2 at 200 to 1 only to find out the next day he would be withdrawn due to a leg injury.

However, this time I'm more hopeful of at least getting a run in the final.

Here's my "tip" back it at your own risk:
