What a God fucking awful day. I originally didnt plan on betting and now wished I hadnt

Started off betting a horse to be placed in the 1st 3 and 1.77. The horse looked beat but the jockey kept pounding it and it got 3rd, I could looking at the hinds of the two horses both battling for third. Then unbelievably they announced a dead heat. I was gobsmacked. They said it was because another horse (the 2nd) was in the way and they couldnt be 100% sure. What a fucking joke.

Then in running I backed a horse that had blinkers and had finished 222 last 3 runs, was cruising and I felt smug as I got 2.36 on betfair, and then no so smug when It found fuck all

The next two were the killers.

Jack Doyle sat there smug as fuck on the Joint Fav and only watched the other JF meanwhile the horse is front kicked on and didnt come back. This was one of the worst rides I had ever seen as gave it far too much to do and then still tried to showboat the win. (The in running below doesnt say how bad it was)

I backed Epsom Salts who should have won last week but was given an awful ride by  the forementioned Jack Doyle.

2nd looked all over the winner........

so 3 seconds and a horse that WAS 3rd but I got paid Deadheat on it.

After that I bet two more horses in sheer frustration. Fuck the horses. Thats ruined my Christmas and its only Monday

Bad start to the day my Vista comp is fucked so take it to get mended and I ask him to sort it before the end of the day (i.e bowl games) which he does but it costs me

No one wants to go the pub at dinner as its cold and raining. I kid you not....

So I start Saturday with no plan and no computer which is not good. I pick out a horse and have to bet it via wap on my phone at 3.2 and bet £200 on it and it hacks up. So 440 less commiss for the day, now I then watch racing for the next 2 hours and I dont bet, this is not good, I should have switched off but no I didnt. Out of the 3 horses I liked they all won Evens, 3/1 and 9/4 so I am pissed as I could have won more. I have this problem, that if I win I get conservative and dont want to lose it back (thats happened so many times in the past) but if the first one I bet loses then I chase and chase which is a huge flaw of mine. But saying that horse racing is hard to beat, it was just one of those days when a lot of the favoured horses won.So its now 4pm and am about to watch Wake and am wishing I had taken them minus the -3

Man it was boring without any college football, I guess you dont miss it till it has gone. Couldnt be bothered to bet soccer and my days of trying to handicap the horses is long gone. Was gonna go out and get hammered but it was freezing so stayed in watched some NCAA hoop game,

Took the Bengals +7, Rams +2.5 (half a point screwed me) Ravens -1 and Arizona -3.

Cards are an abortion, talk about a let down spot.

Have taken G-Men +3 tonight,. Dont think I`ll need the points but we`ll see.

MNF is a joke. NFL must be grateful people gamble. Who is going to be watching this game when its 24-0 in the 3rd qtr??? Only gamblers, only people who have bet the over/under or laid the points.

Carolina won but one thing I took from the game was that Tampa Bay when down big suck. They managed a couple of big pass plays as they fooled the Panthers by running and running and then taking a shot deep but for the most they were poor. At the end of the half they let the clock run out as they didnt have enough big plays in their arsenal so went in at the half down. Panthers had D`Angelo Williams and Jon Stewart and Bucs had 45 year Warwick Dunn.

I dont follow any team in the NFL, only the ones that cover, but what i have noticed is that there are some awful offensive teams who suck. Dink and Dunk drives me crazy. There is a difference between inept offenses and boring ones. For instance KC are awful but fun to watch. Pittsburgh are a better team but send me to freaking sleep. Detroit are an abortion but more fun than watching Chicago.

If you havent figured it now I hate it when teams have QBs that play not to lose or systems that stink, I would hate to be a bucs fans. I think at one point they took 7 mins off the clock and moved just 40 yards.

Tampa Bay, Chicago, Pitt and Washington all bore me

Its always the same every fucking year. Got to go see my sister on Christmas day, we dont speak all year long but yeah lets sit there and pretend we are great fucking buddies while I miss the NBA game and then Boxing day some more shit with fake relatives and I miss more games and they think i`m rude checking my phone for the scores. Then of course you have New Years eve which is 6 hours behind USA so all the bowl games are on and I miss loads by going out to some shit party and coming back drunk. So fuck it, this year Christmas and New year is cancelled.

I am going to sit and watch every ball game and not give a fuck what people think. If I want to watch the Armed Forces bowl I`ll watch it. Fuck em all

Took Navy Saturday and am now waiting for Carolina MNF, scary to see the whole tout world is on them,

After watching the ASU, Ravens and now MNF this will be back to back to back 5am finishes.

Had to laugh, my buddy is an Arizona fan (he has never been to see them) for like 20 years and was over the moon they won their division. Last few weeks he has been saying how easy the NFL is to pick.

result last 4 weeks, One 3teamer every week, he is 0-4

Looking at this weeks action, love the Panthers on monday night, I know Carolina suck as a home fav but I like them in this spot.

Was watching the Raiders game last night as we get NFL Network over here (while most of the US dont, strange huh?) and they were awful, in fact they were that bad I watched Scarlet Knights instead and they were up 40

Am leaning towards Navy, BC-VT looks nasty and was thinking Arizona but they fucked me other week against OSU so not sure about laying the 10.5

Am taking Southend United at 8/13 tomorrow, I know they say the Cup is a great equalizer but Luton suck. Their manager has a win record of 8 wins in 55 games and should be canned. Luton have 1 key player and without him (Kevin Nicholls) they get over run in midfield.
