Journey from $100 to $10,000 (Journey #2 & #3)

Okay..here we go again with the second try. Hopefully this one last a little bit longer than 5 days, hopefully it will last like....umm... 2 weeks :p

Update 22/04/09: Wow...1st game and already a loser...look at the positive side, it's alot better than losing at 12th game ^^. Anyway to lazy to make new table, i ll just use this one and assume my initial bet was $200. And also, going out of town for 3 days starting tomorrow, so there will be no update for few days....

Update 25/04/09: BACK!! and got yet another bad feeling about my first choice today..Rubin Kazan trailing 0-1 at 58'...hopefully Spartak can finish them off by putting a second goal :) wish me luck...

Update 26/04/09: Thanks Spartak for keeping my 2nd Journey alive. I ve added Journey #3 to this Post, I know I haven't actually lost the 2nd challenge yet, i just believe this will double my chance to ever getting my $10,000 :p

Update 28/04/09: For people who are wondering how come I got such a high odds for some of my bets, it was placed in-running, usually after halftime.

Update 01/05/09: New month...bad luck...ARGHH...Journey #2 ended last night after Bremen out of their characteristic didnt score any goal at home >_<. I haven't withdraw anything, make it even worst for me....anyway, looks like every time I reach $1,000 mark, something bad bound to happen ^^ I am thinking to changing my challenge to $5,000 or probably $2,500 lol...anyway gonna run my Journey #3 til the end before starting Journey #4.

Journey from $100 to $10,000 (Journey #1)

All winning will be put as my stake for next betting (all in), so if I lost before any withdrawal then I'll lose all the money I ve made until my last bet. Let's hope it's not happening anytime soon, so I can entertain you guys for a little bit longer ^^

'Burnley vs Sheffield United' Screeny - will this be my last??

Arghh...this is the 1st time i take the screen shot, it was taken on halftime, somehow i got the feeling it will stay 1-0 so i put it up here, and damnnn i hate to be so sharp lol...very2 disappointed, but will try again with Journey #2 starting today...

Another betting blog.....

I've been betting on football for a while now, do I make a steady profit? NO!!! why??? probably because lack of DISCIPLINE and a little bit of "no luck" + "not enough money" to keep me in the game :p. The only reason I created this blog because I am BORED (imagine living in a 'village' where there's no cinema, you'll get the picture already ^^)

I am not gonna do any fancy analysis or whatsoever on picking my bet, I'll simply choose one random match at a time, and bet against the final result. So, for example Team A vs Team B, and I am betting against 0-2 correct score, if the final score is 0-2 then I lost my bet, otherwise I won. Simple as that!! Please note that 0-2 (away win) is different from 2-0 (home team win).

So how am I gonna do it? can I make money at the end? I don't know...probably not, but I don't care coz this is for fun only to help me kill my free time, also to prove it's the SMALL things that make BIG things happen.
My goal is to start with $100, and make a profit of $10,000, so in the process I am gonna try to make some withdrawal (anytime I can). And hopefully I am not gonna lose my hundred before my 1st withdrawal ^^
Once again, there is no rules, no analysis, what I need is LUCK and PATIENCE! All my bet will be available in this blog, in excel format, updated as soon as I can, usually before the match started.

That's it, no more bullcrap...hope you all enjoy my journal...
