Trading in-play is the way to go: Before the Toss: England 5.3 £10.00 £43.00 Ref: Bet matched: 5.7 £5.00 £23.50 Ref: Bet matched: At risk is £15 with an unlikely £66.50 payout.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Out of the ten matches listed there's only one team odds-on (Barrow) all the rest seem to be priced evens or more. Football betting at Betfair today is probably a waste of time and money.

I put a Lay bet on England in the ODI against the Windies, set the recliner to 50% and prepared to demolish a bottle of Three Rum, fresh limes and tonic water. Just recently that's the only way to watch the England cricket team mis-perform. TEN minutes before stumps, I switched bets and traded to an England win book. 21:16 ODI Series West Indies...

They won, I'm down £1.53 and what the hell?? This was drama, entertainment and a grand tragedy for AskJack bets. It could have gone either way at anytime, but it DID NOT. Most of my UEFA predictions (pre-match) went tits-up, while I took a bath on the Darts. This week has been hard. Next week will be a lot better;...

Having learnt my lesson (at great cost) regarding risk and unlikely outcomes, I traded my Bremen green book for a more balanced return should a draw happen.

I correctly put a Lay bet on Arsenal and Hull actually scored first. I eventually traded to a green book position giving a £10 Arsenal win profits and £5 for a Hull win or draw. With 7 minutes left in the match, I traded again and switched the major profit to a drawn result with a £2.80 profit for an Arsenal win, -£2.30 for a Hull win and £10 the draw. ONE...
