While the cat's away

Daily Result: £178.05

A profitable but disjointed day where I tended to have a quick look in on events rather than sit there doing the whole thing. Partly because I was feeling a little delicate from the night before and also because bizarre tv scheduling meant at least one event wasn't shown live that much. Emma is away on business too which meant I could get involved pretty much as and when I wanted rather than sticking to planned events.

I had meant to get up for the Australia v New Zealand ODI but a late night put paid to that. Tried doing it in the morning but it was pretty volatile for a while and I wasn't feeling at the top of my game. So I largely just watched it and gave the trading a wide birth. Had a look in on the South Africa v Pakistan ODI too but after the Saffers posted 392/6 first dig the result was never really in doubt and the odds reflected it. I'd got involved after most the first knock runs had been scored so there wasn't much opportunity to make any more than a smallish profit. But i did get to watch an awesome 6 over spell that went for 106 runs which made for great viewing. And at least it was a win rather than a loss. Doesn't matter how small they are they all add up.

I'd been looking forward to doing the snooker final from the Malta Cup in the afternoon but the Eurosport coverage was nothing short of a bad joke. The channel managed to show just a few frames live throughout the entire match. Instead preferring to screen pre-recorded frames and whatever the other crap they were showing was. There was a touch of irony to it all really. Every time I've tuned in over the last week I've had to suffer listening to Joe Johnson commentating. Every bloody match he says the same old crap about: "This is the best way to watch snooker. Live. Warts and all." Quite. So why not show the bloody final live?! It's a damn site more interesting than that drivel qualifier between Drago and Parrott we were treated to at the start of the week.

Settled down for the Superbowl in the evening and actually watched the whole event. And what a game it was to start with! There was a 92 yard opening return touchdown, a 50+ yard touchdown, 3 fumbles and 1 interception for four turn overs and a missed extra point - and that was just in the first quarter! Eventually the match settled down a little and the Colts took control and saw the game out to a comfortable if sloppy 29-17 victory.

So there you have it. The good start to the month continues and I guess the next event I'll be looking in on is the ODI between New Zealand and England on Tuesday morning. Which means hopefully I'll get around to doing that write up on laying the draw in test matches for Monday's entry.

Very impressive track record for this year. Specially with all the surprises we have already seen this year.

Pretty jalous :)

Thankyou drem but there's an inevitable poor result somewhere round the corner. Enjoying the good start to February while it lasts though. :-)
