December figures: Sports Betting: +£329.08. Poker: Loss of £188.77. (which would be more were it not for my euros in devilfish being worth more than they were at the start of the month!) Profit on month: £140.31.

2008 figures: Sports Betting: +£7,353.73. Poker: +£5,548.31. Total: +£12,902.04

I note in my first post of 2008 I mentioned that I was looking for a £6,000 profit overall, so getting more than double that is very pleasing! Nice to see that there were no losing months overall, which presumably means that I will have to keep going with the sports betting! Obviously I had the golden run in August at poker, which made up around 80% of those profits for the year!

As one or two of you may know, I used to be a member of ISIRIS (I never included any of their profits in my figures as these were solely my efforts). They finished at the end of December, I was a bit sad in a way, having been with them for a few years, although on many occasions the hassle of trying to get their bets on was really stressfull, and on occasions (especially ante post bets) next to impossible. It will be easier to calculate my p&l on betfair now without having to exclude their bets from the figures!
