I decided a few days ago to record all my P&L in £'s so filtered my table and Multiplied up all the $ Accounts by the Exchange Rate, or so I thought ..... turns out I'd also reduced a number of my £ accounts by the Exchange Rate also.
So the last 2 days have been spent confirming all my Balances match what I physically have. I'm now richer than I thought I was 3 Days ago !!
Apart from that very little increase through Betting/Gaming and played just a few 'No Lose' tourneys - there seems to be enough of these type of games to keep me occupied whilst I'm relearning the art :)
Also a fair few Sidegames, and Freebet Freerolls on the Bookmaker Poker sites.
Tonight I'm playing a Hills Freebet Freeroll,plus my regular 'Pantsdown' $1 (66p) Buy-In

Head or Arse
Today registered for 8 Poker Tourneys, mostly 4 Freerolls the remainder costing around £18 Total - When I played Poker before I used to Multi Table easily 5-6 Tourneys - but now with around 6 flashing up at once I didn't now if I was on my head or my arse.......
Add into that the wife returning home from a day at the seaside and me having to help unload the car with around 5 Tourneys in full flight - I crashed and burned in all of them.
I must have been on sit out for around 25 minutes on most of them.......
So Poker Balance as of Day 6 -£22.19 (-£18 Today)
However I fared better on the gambling side, in the early hours I fired up my favorite slot whilst browsing the forums. I only had $15 on the site and was clicking away playing $0.20 Spins spun it up to $25 then had $5 at $1 spins when I hit the bonus round twice almost in succession .
On the bonus round you chose between 7 random 'Free Spin' boxes and the 6 random 'Win Multipliers' - and I hit maximum on the first bonus of 20 'Free Spins' at 10 x Multipler, second Bonus I hit 10 'Free Spins' with 7 x Multiplier.
Came off winning £185 !! - Very nice
On the Betting side I took £30 out of a Deposit Bonus I had been offered, via the Spurs game, could have won £100 if the big odds prediction had come in - but I'm happy with a guaranteed £30.
I also managed a small profit from a Bingo Side game offer.
So overall the Day 6 Gambling Balance is £335.13 (+218.79 Today)
In fact now I'm not actually doing it as a Challenge I'll keep Monthly records split by Poker/Betting
So Month so far
Poker -£83.34
Gambling +£508.48
Combined +425.14

Worked Late last night meant too late to get any games in, and today I resisted the 2 Paddys $10 Added Value tournies - until the Poker Roll increases - and just played the Pantsdown Freeroll, and the WH Sidegames freeroll.
No cash in either, lost a flip TT v AK in the Pantsdown and went out 92/237 - Ace came on the River, but no problems with getting the money in when I did.
Went out of WH early.
Not much on the Betting front either over the last 2 Days - won a bit Yesterday, and lost a few pence today on a couple of Bandit offers.
There will definitely be some movement in the Betting Side over the Weekend as the Premiership Kicks off - and I'll probably have a couple of mug bets on the Football and Horses. Poker I've had an Invite to the Mini Masters tourney on PKR - although I've no cash on there to take a Rebuy or Addon - so see how that fares.
I've also updated my Poker Tracker 3 software and got the HUD working - which gives me a little more of a handle on the opponents styles. Although I see theres now a Poker Tracker 4 on the scene, and the PT3 will probably no longer be supported
.
I'll see how I fare with PT3 before I invest another £40 in PT4.
I may try a bit of Micro Cash later to see how I fare with that and the HUD - I'll add any Profit or Loss from that onto tomorrows scores
Running Totals (Day 4)
Poker +1.19 (-)
Betting +40.03 (-0.77)

Along line of glceud said - in the example last night the bookmaker offered a free £10 bet if you staked a £10 bet.(on US Racing) I bet the £10 and laid on exchange for minimal loss (actually no loss as the prices evolved) then with the 'Free' £10 I bet and laid for a small profit - i.e bet £10 to return £90 and the laid £9 to lose £79.50 - as it happened the 9/1 shot won so I made £10.50 profit - but even if it had lost I would have still made £9 (less commission) from the 'Winning' lay on the exchange.Good luck matey
btw... what is 'Advantage Play'?
Similar to Poker there is not as much value as there used to be in this, but they still appear around 2 or 3 times a week.
I'll tilt them slighly to get more profit from the result I fancy and maybe just no profit or loss from the outcome I don't fancy
Theres one tonight in the England v Scotland match, whereby you can guarantee a profit whatever the result -
If England win I make +£7 appx
If England win by a certain score I make +£28 appx
If England fail to win I make +£1 appx
