Counting cards has posted most of the bets and gambles that have taken place over most of September and its not been a good September, the only thing I take from it is the wins I have had have just about covered the outgoings and literally its the first month of the year I have ended up down.

This video sets the tone for this post, load it up and carry on reading.

Lets put it like this I normally look up and study random bets all over the place trying to cash in on a quick win and most of the silly little bets have let me down so then I try and re-coup it with bets on football matches which have been so random this month, and when all else fails I play the stupid mans tax, the national or European lottery.

To be honest I cant wait for the new month and for the world to get back to normal.

Counting cards has posted articles about how difficult it is to bet on football matches as its so hard to predict the final outcome.

This is hard when betting on the premiership as the teams in the league this year are all of the highest standard and for instance on Saturday you could have got odds of 50 to 1 on Hull beating Arsenal at the emirates stadium and it happened hull won 2-1.

The betting odds on international matches are very poor and its hardly worth gambling on but I have found over the past few years the early rounds of the champions league are normally a very easy especially if you do an accumulator.

Here are the matches for tommorow I know I will be putting a accumulator and they will be on Man U, Juventus, and Real Mardrid all to win.

Today I have managed to be let down once again by the stupid mans tax, aka the national lottery and I’m trying to work put in my life how much I have been robbed so far. It must be well over a thousand pounds because I continue to put the same numbers on every week just in case it actually does bring them up, then you have the Euro millions, when it gets to a massive non rolling over 100 million I always end up in a few syndicates at £1:50 a pop and then think I might as well stick a few of my own tickets on.

This in turn must cost me around £100 a year on side gambles and yet to my dismay I have never won a single penny back, not even a tenner for 3 numbers.

I’m wondering if I should have a year of not putting money on the stupid mans tax and putting it into a savings fund and I’m sure it would make more money?

Anyone else do this?

Counting cards today will place a bet on Mark Hughes not lasting the full season.

The new owners of Manchester City have promised to give Mark Hughes lots of cash for him to spend when the next transfer window opens but you have to be honest when the likes of Brighton are knocking you out of the league cup its hard to imagine that the new owners will be to impressed and the thought of a big named manager handling all that cash and luring players in to count the funds seems ever likely when losing games like that.

Lets hope for city’s sake other world class players like Robinho simply take the chance to join city and for Hughes sake keep him in a job and no pun intended Brighton up his season.
