Traded a number of games tonight, but got caught not once but twice by un-greenable situations which lost me a load of money! I'd backed 3-0 2-1 and 3-1 in a game involving Andra in Austria. Sitting pretty at 2-0 I reduced my exposure by taking the profit on 3-0 (fortunately!), when Lustenau got one back. Fantastic, I thought! Lovely green on 2-1 and let 3-1 run for a while...No such chance! Before the market reformed and the 'Suspended' sign disappeared it was 2-2!
These things happen every now and again, and at least it didn't cost me any real money - just lost profit. But, to add insult to injury the exact same thing happened in the Kalmar game! 0-0 at half time I had backed 0-2 2-0 and 1-1. Time ticked on by and no goal came. So, convinced there would be at least one I laid U1.5 at 1.08. The away team, massive underdogs, scored! The market had reformed, and I was looking at my position deciding what to do when the 'Suspended' sign came up again! 0-2! Bingo - u1.5 lay is home and 0-2 was a £100 plus green for me. It stayed suspended for ages, and you can imagine my surprise and horror when it did reform to see the magic 1000 odds available on 0-2 and 1.18 on 0-3! The underdogs had taken the match from 0-0 to 0-3 in about 5 minutes, and had pickpocketed over a hundred quid from yours truly in the process!
There are two positives to take from this experience:
1) I was skillful enough to get myself into nice positions on both games
2) It is highly unlikely to happen twice in one evening to me ever again!

Gun,
ReplyDeleteI watched the game, think it was 192 seconds between the 3 goals...
TP - was it really that quick!? Amazing stuff especially when you consider that U2.5 must have been at 1.01, and the draw about 1.2. My guess is that quite a few layers are bemoaning their fate this morning!
