I almost had two bets that would have lost out yesterday. I almost laid Phil Taylor at really short odds to win the PDC World Darts Championship and didn’t and also Arsenal at West Ham yesterday in the FA Cup. Something didn’t feel right and I swerved them both and was happy when both of them won.
You may have guessed reading my blog that I am an avid sports bettor and sports watcher as well and I don’t just write about and play poker. In fact I am starting to digress more and more these days to trading on the betting exchanges and the time between 1pm and 4pm is dedicated to that.
I did play a $1-$2 PLO game yesterday only days after saying that I wouldn’t touch the game in 2010 but I did manage to win over $200 ($217) for the session so that puts me over $600 up on the year so far. This year though I am going for small and steady rather than playing too high. My steady aim is to make $1000/week although time may prevent me from doing this.
Actually it is only when you drop down in levels that you realise how much $1000/week actually is. But that still puts me well into the top 1% of online poker earners so I suppose that it is still something to be proud of. I am also going to be using Poker Office as well more this year as I will also be multi-tabling NL50 and NL100 more.
My aim is to go for easy profits this year as I need to make sure that I make some money and I cannot afford to gamble like I have done in the past or play in games with marginal value. Should be an interesting and profitable 2010 (if slightly dull)……anyway…..see you soon and take care.
