Daily Result: £41.68
And what a simply stunning return it was too. I mean, can you think of anyone who can produce figures of 3 overs, 0 maidens, 4 runs and 3 wickets. In Twenty20?!! Awesome stuff. And the big man seemed to make it through the game injury free too. Great to see him on the road to recovery.
Get the feeling the game itself would have been pretty costly to some. And it nearly was me. I got the news that Nottinghamshire had won the toss and decided to bat before it got on Cric Info so cracked out a fair old back of Notts. The news that Flintoff was playing was old, and, so I thought, factored into the market already.
But no. It seems as soon as it was announced on Sky the Lancs backers piled in. (Honestly, the news was 24 hours old!!) I hung on hoping for a few quick runs. 9 off the first over but still Lancs were shortening! Put it down to the Flintoff Factor or the usual Lancs being over bet. Either way I was pretty incredulous. And then Cork picked up a wicket. I bailed. And thank f*ck I did! Notts ended up 14 for 5 from 6 overs at a not so impressive 2.33 runs an over! Which kind of made it a non event trading wise. And left me rather thankful I followed some basic stop loss rules. Made a profit on the game but was peanuts compared to what some must have made in 15 minutes without an original hefty back of Notts to take care of.
Caught part of the last set from the Wimbledon men's final but Federer was already a break up and 1.04. Watched the last few games and made a few quid though it would be stretching the truth to say I "traded" it. :-)
And then on to the World Cup. Pleased Italy won. My finacee's deep dislike of Arsenal (She's from Manchester and is a big United fan) must have finally rubbed off on me as I just couldn't have Henry holding the cup. Was really just hoping for an enjoyable match. Wasn't bad as a spectacle until it became clear extra time was going to be played. Just a shame Zidane lost the plot. From hero to villain in a few crazy seconds. Would just love to know what Materazzi said to him.
Anyway, after the tennis trading disaster earlier in the month I'm back into profit for July again. So smiles all round and, touchwood, I can now build on the green.
