Accounting Cock Up

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

Been busy doing jobs in the Garden today, so again little time for Poker ..... I did play a bit of cash early this morning and made a loss of a -£5.38

This afternoon between the showers I fought through a host of Betting and Betting Offers - there were so many I did make a couple of errors which can be very costly ... however on this occasion I benifited from them a little.

Casino Offers - £8.59
Horse Offers + £13.42
Football Offers + £71.48

Running Totals (Day 5)
Poker -£4.19 (-£5.38)
Betting +£116.34 (+76.31)

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)

Played 3 Tourneys tonight all Free or Cheap

Paddy Pantsdown 47/213 -£0.64
William Hill Freebets Freeroll 102/209 (75 Paid - Should have earned a Freebet easily)
Winamax Freeroll 20/5000 !! for +£0.91

Then bit from a couple of Bookies Offers

2nd Place Refund +£1.55
England Refund if No Win +8.75

Running Totals (Day 2)
Poker +£1.19 (+£0.27)
Betting +£40.80 (+10.30)

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.
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
