I am of course speaking of Euro 2008. It has been made more watchable due to the fact that I have peddled my usual predicta competition around Friends & Family and various local firms. We managed a reasonable 57 entries @ £2.50, so with 4 places paid first prize comes in at a respectable £70 for your nominal entry fee (Better than a kick in the cock!). More Importantly though it actually gets you watching the games and bothered about the results!
As usual I am doing totally fuck all, but I'm sure if I ever won it people would scream fixed! Although on a personal note I had a nice double yesterday on the Croat's to beat the Gerry's and the Cellar Dwellers to draw with the Pole's. I was down at DTD playing the £50+5 f/o but was watching it on the big screens, which aren't actually that big but my eyes are failing me. So when there's a penalty shout in the 92nd minute with the Pole's winning 1-0 and the guy in the seat next to me says it's to Poland, I resign myself to another loss, especially when it hits the back of the net with ease. But wait, what's this, even my eyes aren't that bad that I can't see the scoreboard looks like 1-1 not 2-0 'GET IN' I shout and when the final whistle goes shortly after, I've actually won!!!
Unbelievably, the croat's were 5/1 (how can you not take that bet?) and the draw was 9/4 on the pole's so combined in the double I got 19.5/1 - BUZZIN!!!
Back to the DTD live event. I bubbled 15th of 101, when short stacked under the gun with 10k and the blinds at 800/1600, 8 players at the table with a 200 running ante, I looked down to see 77 and obviously pushed (what else are u gonna do?) One call next door but one then a shorter stack allin and I wasn't feeling confident going to the flop 3-way, hoping they both had big aces. Facing 88 (doh!) and AQ I needed a miracle and of course it didn't come as it never does for me. Everytime I have been to DTD I've made the last 2 tables but just can't get to the final table, I'm sure when I do I will win it from there.
Played a bit of cash on Bet365 but had to reload when 55 hit a runner runner flush to beat my AA after I called his $80 allin bet on the flop with a pot of $20 on a flop of 466. I am really getting pissed off with the online, it's such bingo! However, it seems it's like the ex-girlfriend that you really don't like anymore and all the reasons for ditching her are still valid, but when you see her out and you've had some stella you just seem to end up in bed with it again!!!!
Royal Ascot next week and I'm looking forward to that one. They are doing another special day down at Owlerton Dog Track on the Thursday dubbed 'Royal Ascot at the Dogs' and one the guys has sorted us a table out, so reluctantly I will have to go (Tee Hee!) It makes for a great day if you can't get to Ascot @ £20/£25 per head you get a buffet style breakfast at 10.30am followed by dog racing then a 3-Course meal and Ascot on the big screens in the bar. Followed by a buffet for tea in the casino next door from 5.30ish and if you want you can stay and play the £10 rebuy NL Holdem which starts at 9pm - assuming you can still stand at that point after all the Guiness!!!
Can't wait......Come on Romania tonight stuff them Pizza boys!!!
