I am sure John the gambler had a tough loss and needs our support.  The one thing about this blog community is people always rally around wuth good advice and support.   Most of us realise that the only person who can resolve our woes is actually ourselves but it always good to know that other people want you to succeed.  I know for sure it has helped me in the past and will continue to do so.

I am still tredding water and can not seem to get back my early month losses.  It will come eventually  I am sure I just need to keep the faith so to speak.   Anyway my thoughts are with the gambler who I am sure will be back and making profit on a betfair session new us soon.

I have amended this post for 2 reasons, firstly it was written was I was annoyed and secondly and more importantly it distorts the reality.  After discussing the issue with betriskfree they did all they could to help me and in fact the fault does really lie with bet365.   Who I have subquently attacked with avenguence on the betting front and won some reasonable money.

The fact is I lost £334 on this arb.  Lesson learnt.

The "palpable error" problem.   Last night I happily backed Recreativo Huelva at 5/6 with bet365 and Real Sociedad at 2/1 in a draw no bet scenerio.   This morning I have an email from bet365 cancelling my bet due to a palpable error.

I knew this was always a risk as I have my own arbing service in the past but have always checked the odds carefully.  You would hope a service promoting itself in a no risk scenerio would do the same.  Unfortunately the answer is no.   

I am now stuck with a £334 bet on Real Sociedad for a win at 2/1.  The draw is a no bet.   The problem is the best odds available on Recreativo Huelva is 4/11 so I can only reduce my loss to about £100 if Recreativo win.  I am going to wait until nearer the game and see if the odds get slightly better but it looks as if I am going to be praying for a draw.   You have be warned though.

A small profit on the nags yesterday but a very long day at work which started at 5.45am and finished at 7pm.
