This is a blog that will follow my progress towards winning £200K in 2012 ... and my return from retirement in 2022.
Summer Sherberts!
Come on! Bring on the sun and the associated days of getting wankered and sunburnt!
Last weeks excurion to the south-east coast was a nice little warm-up and after a brief period of recovery I'm ready for my second outing!
Here was the 07:40 pre-cycle pint of Hoegaarden outside the Belgian Cafe ...
11/06
+£72.91. I didn't really trade that many races today and had a mixed bag of results. To be honest my concentration still flags at points during the day and I'm finding myself chasing entry positions, which is a real basic mistake, and sometimes this lack of patience can get you into sticky positions.
Here's my 'backup' hardtail MTB parked-up at somewhere between Whitstable and Herne Bay. It's a lot lighter than my full suspension MTB. I did have some gear slippage problems on the short sharp hill approaching Reculver, so I'll have to get that sorted before my next ride unless I want to mangle my bollox on the top tube!
12/06
+£129.64. A nice steady day today. Didn't break any records but plodded along nicely.
So anyway, this is what I was doing last week just after 09:00 outside The Rose Inn in Herne Bay.
13/06
-£15.38. My concentration was double-pants today and what should have been a nice profiteable Saturday became a right pain in the ass!
I had the wankiest bet that I've struck for a long while in the 14:50 @ Muss where I backed something right late-on in the place market about 50 yards from the line when it was in seventh place!! Fuck nows what I was doing but even as I hit the button I was literally screaming 'NOOOOOOO'. It was one of those moments where my finger reacted before my brain ... what a nobber. I then had to spend the remainder of the day trying to claw back some of my losses.
Flashback to last Friday. After my Oranjeboom at Herne Bay I indulged in a pint of Fosters (which was wank) outside The King Ethelbert @ Reculver.
14/06
+£180.54. Most of my trades today were on the Irish racing and i finished the day winning an 'Eric' .... Eric Bristow one hundred and eigggghhhtttyyyyy!
So after my wank pint of Fosters I cycled along the causeway (past loads of marathon runners ... they must be fookin mad) and onto The Minnis @ Minnis Bay where I smashed into a much needed pint of Amstel.
15/06
+£13.01. What a waste of a nice day!
After heading inland I ended up at The Jolly Farmer where, if I remember rightly, a pint of Carling cooled me down quite nicely indeed!
16/06
-£41.61. Yesterday was bad ... today was a steaming heap of shite!
17/06
+£8.96. For some reason it seems as though it's all going fucking tits-up?
18/06
+£47.49. Another fucking bag of shite day grrr!!!!!
22/06
+£30.00. Just back from 2 days binge drinking on the coast an still felt like a sack of shite today, so winning £30 was a bonus!
23/06
+£39.88. July has been a very lean month with lots of spending and no fucking earning!
24/06
+£153.32. Finally, a day back in 3 figure territory! This came about as a result of 27 trades and no losses (sounds a bit like Magnus from Masterind there!).
25/06
+£141.62. Another solid day from minimal stakes with only 2 small losses from 27 trades.
26/06
+£265.05. Even better today! I had 36 trades and once again only 2 small losses.
27/06
+£224.00. Not many trades today but a good result, once again from minimal stakes.
28/06
+£54.96. Pants today!
29/06
+£32.26. Double pants!
