The first online bet I placed was on Tranmere to knopck Millwall out of the FA Cup. Millwall won.

ASo then I placed a bet on Sunderland to win the FA Cup. they got knocked out by Millwall.

I put a bet onMillwlal to beat man Utd in the FA Cup final, a £5 bet as then the winnings from the unlikely result would have paid for me to get to Bradford last Sunday. Man Utd won 3-0.

Couple of flutters on Thursday night football games failed to.

But I turned £1 into £2.75 on a horse yesterday, and £2.50 into £7.19 on Crystal Palce to beat West ham in the football today.

So I appear to be getting better. Now, I've just put £1 each way on Jenson button for tomorow's Grand Prix, and 50p each way on Everton top win next years Premier League football at 1000-1. I'm beginning to enjoy gamblinmg you know- it's quite worrying...

"50p each way on Everton top win next years Premier League football at 1000-1."

Just send me the 50p, it'll achieve the same.

I wonder what the odds are on leeds not getting promoted? has to be odds on...

*sigh*

It's a bit early for the book to be up and running on Division 1 football, as the membership of the League hasn't been fully decided.

The Premiership on the other hamnd is well under way. Currently the favourites for relegation are Palace at 4/9. Then West Brom and Norwich at 4/7, followed by Portsmouth and Everton at 2/1 and 3/1. Finally if you really want to throw some money away, the big three are all there at 10,000/1 each to be relegated

Well, I just got £2.80 thanks to jenson Button.

I'm flirting with the idea of putting a penny each on the big three to go down...

I'd be surprised if Charlton stay up, myself. Curbishley's bound to be lured away, and they're losing all their big names.
