    Just gonna try this for the laugh. Gonna start off with 200 euro and try and get it upto 1500 before 21/05/2008 (Champions League Final). Will be mainly doing singles and doubles, maybe the odd treble but no more than that. All bets will be done on betfair so commission will be taken out. Starting off today by doing two singles and risking most of my bank so could be all over today:D

    Backing Genoa - €95 at 2.12
    Laying Everton - €60 at 2.6 (Liability €96)

    Backing Marseille €57.16 at 2.24

    Backing Marseille away to Monaco. They have to win to fight for third place and Monaco who are missing players are safe enough now so think 2.24 offers good value.

    Good luck with that, Liverpool/Barca to play the final is 11/1 I think, worth a punt?

    Mike.

    Yea upto €445.34 now. Got very lucky today though, was gonna do a treble with them 2 and Grenoble in French League 2. For some reason there match was not appearing on the betfair multiples list so I just left them out and they ended up drawing 0-0. What do you's think about tomorrow night match. Tempted to go with Barca but wanna wait and see the team news. 4.6 seems to be a geat price tho.

    2 small bets for tomorrow

    Xavi first goalscorer - €10 at 27.5
    Deco first goalscorer - €7 at 26

    Also

    Backing Chelsea - €114 at 2.34


    Remaining Balance - 314.35

    I suggest spending €0 in the poker forum, and 'search' bankroll management:)

    Your €200 is gonna be in the bookies pocket before the end of this week.

    No no no no no. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
    The germans have never gone to russia and come out with a victory. I thought people would have learnt from Stalingrad
