Alan McInally - weekend preview by Betdaq - Exchange Views : "[...]We have Sky Sports pundit ALAN MCINALLY back in the house for a bumper weekend previewing covering matches this weekend. Alan brings his views on the weekend's betting and trading opportunities on the Daq with some particularly strong bets.[...]". Daqman on Saturday : "[...]Daqman was in dramatic form yesterday with River Indus (WON 8-1) & Lightning Strike (WON 2-1). How to ride a horse in the mud? Keep up with the pace and he might run out of steam; lie off the pace and he might not be able to make up the ground. That’s one reason why there are shock results and that’s why it’s vital to have under you enough stamina to give you the confidence to run your race.[...]".

Saturday, December 8, 2007 by Punting, Trading and Investing : "[...]5th Bet/Trade Details : - Match : Aston Villa Vs Portsmouth (1-3 FT) - Market : "6 goals or more" - Bet/Trade : Layed with EUR 4.20 @ 26.29 (Pre-Kick off) - P/L : EUR 3.99 ( 3.64% )[...]".

What a turn around by Betting On Horses : "[...]I expected Carson to tuck in and play a waiting role until the final furlong or so in a race that was always going to be run at a decent clip. I certainly wouldn't have had a bet if I'd have thought for one second that the horse was going to be ridden on the outside of the field, tanking along and obviously without a hope of having anything left come the business end of the race.[...]". On a very tough day : "[...]The big race of the day at Sandown is the Tingle Creek Chase, in which Voy Por Ustides is a short priced favourite. I have reasons for not backing the first three in the betting, the jolly is too short and trainer has a poor record here with chasers, I think Monet's Garden is best fresh and Twist Magic needs to improve on ground not sure to suit. That means I've got to back 235 Sandown - ASHLEY BROOK 100.00 each way @ 6-1 at the prices.[...]". Forget about studying form : "[...]The last two bets I've put up on here have run poorly and of course that is a disappointment. I don't mind losing, in fact you have to be used to losing more often than not if you want to have any chance of winning long term, but I do get pissed off when horses I back run really badly. It makes no financial difference if you're beaten in a photo or by half the track but it does make a difference to confidence.[...]". A day of rest : "[...]I'm going to sit back and watch a load of footie, racing, and NFL later but without any financial involvement whatsoever. I know the advert on tv says something like "it means more when there's money on it" but the flip side is that punting can sometimes take away the enjoyment from watching sport.[...]".

Infamy infamy… by Bert’s Horseracing Blog : "[...]On a rainy Saturday it’s going to be hard work for any horse that doesn’t go in this ground. My clear bet of the day is Pancake, a hearty type making his chase debut who should appreciate the conditions underfoot. In the big race process of elimination leads me to Voy por Ustedes, but not with any great confidence.[...]".

Good Luck Ricky Hatton by Trade On Sports : "[...]I was thinking about laying Lewis Hamilton in the sports personality of the year award should Hatton win but then I thought I might as well lay Mayweather and to be honest I have decided to do neither. However if the fight looks to be going badly for Hatton mid to late fight it may well be worth back Lewis Hamilton as I’m sure his price will go down.[...]".  A bridge too far for Hatton : "[...]I will set up a couple of trades on the NFL for the first 2 matches and see how that turns out. I have had an incredibly good run from this over the last couple of months and hope it continues. I am looking at the snooker at the moment but have yet to get involved. I may very well sit this tournament out to be honest but we shall see. I will also Preview this weeks Champions League games tomorrow and Tuesday evening.[...]".

Saturday Predictions by The Betfair Loser : "[...]Chelsea @ 1.21 ManU @ 1.12 Bayern @ 1.17 Hamburg @ 1.35 Stuttgart @ 1.79 Celtic @ 1.17[...]".  Another poorish day! : "[...]What is not reflected in today's figures is my current red position in the India v Pakistan test. I thought Pakistan were worth a punt at 6.6, I didn't expect their price to collapse to 15's overnight though. I suppose I still have time to get into the green on the test though.[...]Daily Total P&L: GBP42.81[...]". Where am I going wrong?? : "[...]I read a good piece by Mark Iverson on how everything seemed to go right for him yesterday, as soon as he clicked his mouse, everything fell into place. My day seemed to be the exact opposite:- on numerous occasions today I make my move just to see the markets go the wrong way.[...]Daily Total P&L: GBP35.89[...]".

Woe Is Me by JP's Betting Blog : "[...]Steve Lewis Hamilton provides the only winner of the day on his all weather service with Mafeking given at 11/8 eventually returning at 8/11. His other all weather pick Sir Douglas e/w fails to trouble the judge. Steve's private service fares less well giving out El Dee each way at Wetherby, unplaced and Catch The Perk, who is a non-runner on account of the bad ground, as well as advising a small stakes each way double on the two. His lay of Caiporoska in the Wetherby 12.40 is similarly unsuccessful as it wins in great style.[...]Friday 7 December Loss on day £150[...]Saturday 8 December Loss on day £694[...]Sunday 9 December Loss on day £300[...]". Where Did It All Go?? : "[...]Big loss to report this week of £1945, £1057 from the tipping lines and £888 from my own trading. Not much to say apart from the bare figures speak for themselves and that the profit since I started now stands at £2485, just under half of where it was just two weeks ago.[...]".

Some improvement by Don't give up your day job : "[...]Daily result: £16.98 Slightly better today though I found the racing today tough to trade. The scheduling of the racing was rubbish! I don't know what the racing offcials were thinking today but they had two races within 5 minutes and then nothing for 20 something minutes - crazy stuff and I think it affected liquidity.[...]". £41,000 in 3 months! : "[...]Daily result: £10.18[...]I traded 7 races, won on 4, broke even on 2 and lost on 1 and got a respectable profit. I am happy enough with the profit and it helped edge me closer to the £800 balance and I plan to up my trading bank to £600 this week as long as I start the week off well.[...]".

Warts and All - Wager Value (8th Dec 2007) by Slippery Toad : "[...]Howerver as I wrote previously, I am amazing by the accuracy and efficiency of the betting market and with the advent of Betfair, their market seems to factor each and every piece of data (inside knowledge, other handicappers, arber's, market forces, hype etc) to produce what is a very fair assessment of the chances for each and every contender in the horse race The question remains as a novice wanabe professional punter who is trying to match his opinion against the crowd, how can I compete against the Tefal heads that is Betfair in producing a better assessment of the horse race in question?[...]".

Sunday 9th December by The Gambler : "[...]Got up early this morning. England 168 for 1. Pretty good, but this could easily end in a draw. Last night Mayweather beat Hatton. Should have had a bet really, But I don't bother much with Boxing. England lose their second wicket. Bell out for 15. 168 for 2. Are we going to collapse?[...]". In running horse race betting : "[...]This is probably the first time I tried laying in-running from the racecourse. I have backed one or two in-running by phone, and occasionally even using my XDA. My XDA is not working very well at the moment so I need to replace it. I did see someone with a laptop by the Champagne Bar, but whether he was just using it to bet or was going to bet in-running I don't know. I've seen people at the races before on their blackberries communicationg with their partners no doubt sat in front of a laptop at home.[...]".

Ten stars compete for BBC award by Trading Tennis : "[...]Andy Murray big deliverer is among the list broke into the world top 10 despite an injury that ruled him out of Wimbledon. but Lewis Hamilton world championship runner-up in his rookie Formula One season is rated favourite to win the trophy.[...]". NFL Dallas v Detroit Live : "[...] RC lays Dallas at 1.18 at the start and backs at half time at 1.72 with profit each way over 150% ROI on both teams trading with RC on NFL is possible during the tennis off season[...]".

India v Pakistan,3rd Test-Day 2 And England v Sri Lanka,2nd Test-Day 1 Plan by Find free lay : "[...]Good trading opportunity: >Lanka bat first: Back Lanka 3.5+ if comes. Back England 12+ if comes early after good start (it may go against us as England price drift rapidly if Lanka continue to bat well).[...]". Test Matches Inplay Post,Sunday 9th December : "[...]Latest score at lunch is England 97/0 in 29 overs.Odds are England 4.6,Sri Lanka 5.3 and Draw 1.68 as favourites.As per plan layed draw in evens and want to let it run (planning to lay more in 1.65) because i think Draw price will not shorten below 1.65 unless heavy rain starts (although stop loss 1.60 if comes without wicket). Those not traded so far can consider small back Lanka 5.3 as a good trading opportunity.[...]". Test Matches Update And Weather Trading : "[...]In both Test matches Draw is favourite due to bad weather forecast.So it is more like of weather trading than cricket trading in these matches otherwise Draw is the least likely outcome in both matches. Plan for tomorrow is same for 2 Tests and that is to lay Draw in low odds and back at high odds.[...]".

Tough times by Wizardgold : "[...]The only trouble was that at 88 or 89 minutes I chickened out and traded out the position to take a loss of nearly 60 Euro. Boy was I miffed when the goal went in at 90 minutes. The only thing I should have done after trading out of that position would have been to put in a lay bet on the draw. I could have put in a large enough bet on there not being a draw and at that stage of the game in the market it would have not cost much if it stayed at the draw.[...]".

December 8th by Talkbet : "[...]I traded the Aston Villa v Portsmouth game earlier and made £76 from it. It should of been more as I laid Pompey for 1k at 1.01 with the score at 0-3. Villa made it 1-3 and the odds rose to 1.05 so I could of backed it back for another £40 profit but I fancied Villa for another goal and as an insurance against Pompey throwing the game away I let the bet ride![...]".

Saturday December 8 by Can I make it or not? : "[...]I'd put 400 on The Luder as he jumped into contention and immediately pressed to close the position with a profit of 20something.However the software didn't read my mouse-click so I presses several times to no avail.Then I realised I had closed Betangel so couldn't use that.I re-opened Betangel but had to take a loss of 197.[...]".

Quick round up by The Betfair Trader : "[...]Result since last update: £230.19[...]Anyway, haven't actually had a settled result for days but the profit since the last update comes from cricket and NFL. Had a pretty good win on the 2nd test between India and Pakistan but gave around the same amount back on the 1st test between Sri Lanka and England. The balance comes from a few NFL matches that I had quick look ins on. [...]".

A Beautiful Day by Mark Iverson : "[...]Daily P/L: £501.76[...]So, after a couple of hours 'work' I can now report a great gain for the day and a healthy monthly P&L, which as long as I don't get too carried away should put me in a strong position for the rest of December. Tomorrow, there's some more Rugby Union and NFL so there's an opportunity for me to make this a very memorable weekend - Have I ever mentioned that I love Betfair!?![...]".
