Daily Result: £271.46
Just a quick entry as the central heating has given up the ghost, we've lent out our oil radiator and it's fair to say it's more than a bit nippy. Dread to think what it'll be like in the middle of the night if I get up to do the India v West Indies ODI. Just hope I can get our friendly plumber chap to come out at short notice tomorrow and do something to make it work again!
Today's profit came from the New Zealand v England ODI and a couple of frames of the Hendry v Milkins game from the Malta Cup. Predictably New Zealand won the cricket and in the process set a national ODI record for runs scored against England of 318. It came courtesy of some good knocks, notably from Vincent, Taylor and an end of innings blitz from Oram - but was also the result of some awful England bowling. I mean 37 extras. Plus all the runs that came of the extra overs bowled as a result. Not the stuff ODI victories are made of.
To be fair England had a fair crack at the chase to start with but the pressure of the required run rate started to tell and as wickets began falling the match tailed off as a contest and instead turned into a question of whether England could stop New Zealand picking up another bonus point. At least Flintoff's men managed that - although the final will now be an Australia v New Zealand affair unless England manage something spectacular in what looks like being their last match of a dismal winter tour against Australia on February 2.
As for the snooker - after losing the first frame Hendry was pretty awesome and I just rode his price down for a few frames as he won 5-1, racking up his 700th career century break in the process. And regarding my value mention of Walden to beat Murphy at 2.72? Well, I once again showed why I don't try to be a tipster. Walden lost! Though to be fair it was 5-4 and there was plenty of opportunity in the match to trade out green if you'd got on at the start price.
Right, that's it. Hot drink, electric blanket and bed time. Catch you tomorrow.

Hi mate - well done on the £200+ win, that will pay for a few bottles of champagne! Just thought I would say cheers for the book recommendation (Market Wizards), it arrived today and only read the first few pages but had to laugh at the 'my story' section as it was as if I was reading my story . Best of luck for Feb!
Andy.
