Leeds-ing me a merry dance

Whisper it quietly, but I seem to be getting the hang of this trading game. I’m still laying too many winners, but they are becoming less common. On Friday night, I made £50 on the racing at Dundalk and Wolverhampton. Yes, I know I should get out more.

The problem is that I am having a horrendous run on the football. I had £30 on Leeds to beat Northampton (at 1.51) and £15 on ‘more than two goals’ (at 2.00), only because the game was live on TV. Northampton scored with their first attack, after 10 minutes, but soon after had a man sent off. From then on, it was one-way traffic. Leeds equalised before half an hour was gone, but despite hitting the post twice and having countless efforts saved or blocked, they couldn’t score a winner. So I ended £5 up on the day.
