A very hectic weekend of punting with a mixed set of results, which meant that my run of not taking my wages was snapped. To be fair if it wasn’t Goodwood this week, I could have lasted another week, but I need a big bank for this week. Its Goodwood, Galway and also the USPGA so promises to be a frantic and hopefully profitable week. Therefore I left my returns in my bookmaker accounts rather than withdrawing them.
I wasn’t too hung over on the Saturday, perhaps because I bolted from the leaving doo at 6.45, and made for the train. It was good to catch up with people, but I just felt I’d had enough and had to escape.
In the weeks golf, i broke even, Rahn finished top 5, which I was on at 9/1, and there were some small each way returns from Snedeker. A bit disappointing as Sned’s was leading going into the final round, but didn’t really perform when the pressure was on. Darts was pretty poor, although I did get a small return with MVG winning the event with ease.
In the racing, it was a mixed bad, good winners Kimberella and Librisa Breeze were interspaced with some pretty mediocre results. It wasn’t a disaster though, and ensured that I have a decent war chest for the pivotal week ahead.
Away from punting, I went over to watch my beloved Featherstone Rovers on the Sunday, who completed their mission impossible by defeating Bradford Bulls to reach the playoffs for Super League. It was a great finish to the weekend and fantastic to see the old ground packed to the rafters. We have no chance of promotion to the Super League, but the additional money for reaching the playoffs is vital for the club.
Anyway, I’ll be back with an update tomorrow.
