    I do the same bet every week since season started, and its actually been quite good. Hibs, Everton, QPR, and Barnet.

    I've gone for Southampton on the 1/4 ball handicap and over2.5 goals in the City-Spurs and Norwich-Bolton matches. I'm keeping the stakes low as there not stand out bets just some value to be had. Good luck.

    I finally had a go at on-line poker for real money,
    I started out with £9.50, went right down to zero but I
    won the last hand when I was "all in" (means you have no money
    left will only win a part of the pot if you do win).
    However I ended up with £15.84 so a £6.34 profit!!


    It certaintly seem easier than picking football results, but
    maybe I was just lucky, as I was almost 'wiped out'.

    Quite hard work though, I would get a better wage
    flipping burgers in McDonalds.

    On betfair Poker they pay you to play, if they are trying to get a new table started they might invite you to play and offer to pay you up to £9 an hour. The stakes are higher though and you could well end up losing that and much more. It sounds good but in reality is very, very tough. If you keep playing tricky don't be surprised about the 'bad beats' you will take. Even if the other player needs one card in the pack to beat you with one card to come it WILL happen at some stage so be cautious. Congrats on your early success though and long may it continue for you.

    Well I had another go at the poker and I now have £20.62 in the bank
    up from £15.84 and more than double the initial £9.50 which was in my
    account.
    I played a lot of poker at yahoo to get some practise in, but is a bit different
    when it is real money, people don't chuck it about as much as they do
    'toy money'. Also the betting structure is different and it is rare that people
    bet to the limit as in yahoo.

    It is hard work though, you struggle for ages to eak out a bit of profit
    and then blow the lot (and more) on some stupid hand you should never
    have been playing in the first place.

    Also luck tends to be 'lumpy' you go for ages without winning a hand
    and then win three in a row, its always a big mistake when you try to
    push your luck but somehow that is what always hapenns!!

    The money is in dollars though so I have about $40 I think will
    try and just play with my $21 profit. If I can, a few 'bad beats' can
    quickly destroy your profit.

    I completely blew my pprofit in one session of incredibly bad luck (and bad play
    on my part to), I also lost another £5 on top of that.

    However following a radical change in my playing style, and a great run of luck
    I won most of it back so I now have £18.50, £9 profit.

    If was a big roller coaster ride and the big drop was not a nice experience.
    With my new style I would probably would more than have halved that loss.

    I don't chuck my money about any more and I don't rely on 'luck'.
