    Absolutely, but the long wait is countered by getting value in watching your selections every week without putting money on every time!

    Have a belter of an acc lined up.

    Will throw it up here once I've got the money on.

    I am still waiting for Coral to re-open the market for the last selection and have emailed them without getting a reply yet. It's a league top goalscorer market, so have another few days before the next games.

    I had planned on putting around €150 on it, but my lack of discipline kicked in and had a few bets while waiting for the market to open. Got the balance up to €380, then down to zero with one bet pending. Deposited another €300 and after a hairy few days and one sleepless night, got it up to €798 (had €50 on Crawley to win!). Have withdrawn the original €400 so will prob just lash the €398 on it. Could also split it into two bets of €200.

    That's the reason I like the long term bets - it keeps me off the day to day gambling. I can pick a winner but cannot take a loser, which is the downfall of most gamblers.

    Selections to follow!

    A bit of bad news I'm afraid.

    My selection was Shane Long to be top goalscorer in the Championship.

    He's currently 6th with 11 goals, takes penos and playing in an improving side. 3 goals behind Danny Graham of Watford.

    He was available at 33/1 with Corals / Eurobet !!!

    I tried to stick the first bet on, they referred it to a trader and only gave me €20 and then slashed his odds to 20/1.

    Although I still think those odds are excellent, it's hard to take such a drop.

    :(
