Friday at last

It has been a very eventful and tiring week but now the weekend is nearly here.   I am off to Cam this evening to see my parents.  In the morning I get to see my nieces and nehphew too which will be fun.  Sunday is set aside to launch my football site and add a few long awaited features to the racing site.

On the betting front nothing from Brimardon yesterday and two unlucky losers from the bet collection.  Confidence remains sky high on both fronts.  I received my e-lottery syndicate pack yesterday so looking forward to lottery wins plus hoping to sign up a lot of people to the scheme which is excellent.

For those of you into football who wanted to make a few quid from a a bookmaker concession then see the following page.   Converting concessions into cash

An interesting day all round

Yesterday was a day of lots of meetings and lots of change.  Firstly the senior architect that I was working with on the convergence project unfortunately is leaving which is not great.  I love challenges but it will be interesting to see how this one panes out.

I enjoyed helping out with the beavers, brownies and scouts.  I am sure they are very tired of my booming voice telling them to keep the ball low, unlucky, nice catch, great shot and many other repeative things that I said.   In return I got another lastminute t-shirt which I suppose is a bonus.

So which 2 good turns done just have to wait to give blood.  Amazing 110 people signed up to that on Tuesday so I am very pleased about that.

On the betting front Brimardon continues to be extremly selective so there were no selections.  The bet collection on the other hand managed a 10/1 winner and a 14/1 placed horse.   September’s profit is looking extremely healthy.

The business plans are evolving well and I am feeling really excited about each and every day currently.  Long may this feeling live on.

You should try it

I really enjoyed my afternoon out trimming hedges makes a change from being in an office all day.  Maybe I have found my vocation.  Only kidding but it was a nice change.  Today brings a nearly normal day at work followed by helping the brownies and scouts which could be interesting.

I have identified a candidate for a house to invest it as well yesterday. Discovered that someone is who is desperate to sell and therefore open to offers.   Need to just work out the details and see if a profitable deal can be done.   Also found out that I am not the only cash flow fanatic in the office one of the oracle team is which is cool.   She empathised with the that my close work colleagues just give me grief about it.

Woking Hospice

This afternoon I will be giving up half my day to help the Woking hospice as part of Sabre community program.   I think this type of activity is rewarding for everyone and I am pleased to be part of it.

The weather continues to make betting with confidence difficult so I am keeping the bets to a minimum currently.   I am focusing the majority of my spare time on a few new projects that I have.  The main site is seeing a resurgance in traffic which is good news.    I am very close to adding to updated the site and making it even more useful than it is currently is.   I am thinking of taking a week off work to give it that final push.   Still a very slow up take on the free money example I explain on the site so will be refining that and making it even easier to take up.

Another week begins

A really busy weekend where I got so much stuff done that I am really pleased.  Tidied my car, got up to date with my filing, did a lot of work on the racing database, started my new football database.   Got an early call from work hence no update this morning.  Leverage and Cash Flow are the words of the week.

Racing is going to be a bit in and out for this week as the weather looks like it may cause a few ground changes.  So caution will be the word methinks.  As for football well lets hope Spurs can get through to the next round of UEFA cup and start finding the back of the net.

Day 5

I am still suffering from tiredness bording on being permanently shattered which is extremely frustarting.  So many things I want to get done by struggling to get them done.  The weekend is nearly hear so hopefully that will give the rest that I need to power on through.

One losing bet yet yesterday with the bet collection and no investments with Brimardon.  Not feeling to well myself so I had no selections.   

Day 4

Excellent day on the betting front yesterday.  Brimardon weighed in with another good profit.  The bet collection provided me with a 12/1 winner.  In addition my selection won at 11/2 as well.

As for work was a better day yesterday on the interesting scale.  I am hoping today will continue to be good as well.

Sorry for the short post been busy.  Check back tonight for further updates.

Day 3

Yesterday raced by which was quite amazing because most of the day was spent doing documentation and very similar documentation at that.  Did not get much of chance to look the java stuff I was supposed too.   Hoping today will yield better results but who knows.

Two nice winners on the main account which was nice.  September nicely in profit now.   I am feeling confident about a strong end to the year.

Nothing else much to report.

Day 2

Yesterday was a tough day at work with some many technical specifications to write.  SOX is such a great paper generator especially when you don’t have an automated system signed off.   I also managed to read a huge amount of documentation on spring.   If time allows I will use eclipse and start writing some code with this framework today.

On the betting front was a slow day.  Two more losers on the bet collection side of things.  They are due a win soon which will be nice.   Brimardon continue to keep it very tight and they were no investments for the second day running.   Only 2 weeks or so until the new software which will hopefully allow for even more profit.

5 day weeks again

I am back from the wedding weekend which was lovely.   I am back in the office and I here for all 5 days which I have not done for about 5 weeks.  So going to seem like a long week but time is already flying.   Just brought one system which was down backup.   I am now familaring myself with Spring.   Yes, I am finally being converted from a progress person to a Java dude.   So beware. :)

A good weekend on the betting front with a nice winner on Saturday.  I think I have finally fixed all the bugs in the flatstats parser which is cool.   Extremly interested to how each of the rating systems differ.   The next focus is too add the betfair data to these systems whilst tidying up the presentation.  Once that is complete I am pretty much there.   Other that maybe an auto selector.  I will also be tidying up the free bet information as I am not getting much success there yet but I will.
