The rules are simple. I've put £10 in my online betting account (Paddy Power) and during the game I will placing a number of in play bets to try and make a profit. I can only bet once the game kicks off and I can only use "In Play" markets.
If I run out of money it's game over and I can place bets of any amount as I'm going for a long as it doesn't take me past the initial £10 outlay.
1-10 Mins Amazing! I was hovering over the button to put £4 on the Czechs to score first....and then they did! Admittedly it would only have got me £3 profit but it'd be a start. Instead I've gone for a £1 on the Czechs scoring between 11 and 20 mins at 7-1 and ...man alive they've scored again after 5 minutes! Amazing start! I put a quid on Rosicky to score the next goal at 14-1.
Can we calm down for a couple of mins please!
10 Mins Greece look dire so I'm having 34 on another goal before ht. It's 4-7 so not a great money spinner but looks a decent shout. I'm going to sit tight til 20 mins! The Czechs are now just 6-4 to score 4+ goals and we're only ten mins in! Or you can get 500-1 on the Greeks winning by 3 goals..I'm holding fire on that one.
20 Mins That's £1 lost, in truth the Czechs barely threatened in that 10 min slot. I'm hoping they pick up soon or i'll be down to £4 left by half time! This time I'm just having a £3 cover bet on Greece not scoring in the first half at 2/7. Not a money spinner but they've hardly threatened so far.
30 Mins Couple of attempts from Rosicky giving me a bit of hope. The Czechs are 1-100 to be winning at ht! I'm sitting tight til ht, Greece are awful so I should at least have a fiver to play with 2nd half. If you fancy a complete turnaround in the 2nd half it's 33-1 on a Greek win. They're no Turkey!
40 Mins Hmm, not looking good for a Czech second goal. They are easily the better side, but that's a pretty small boast. Rosicky is having a decent game and getting forward well but has only come close to a goal once.
HT Not a great return, I've lost half of my tenner and my only win was a very small one on the Greeks not scoring. In fact, that could have been worse, Greece had a goal disallowed for a very tight offside. I'll be spending ht looking for a few hidden gems to get me back in profit.
My ht selections are more than 8 corners at 13-10 and Greece to score at 5-6. £3 in total.
Also having a pound on Jiracek to score the 3rd goal at 20-1. He looks threatening coming forward.
Rosicky is subbed at half time! Just what I wanted!
55 Mins Goal for Greece, disaster for Petr Cech. Did somebody mention Turkey? I win £1.86.
Still on just 3 corners! Things aren't going well..Time for an ale to cheer me up. Lambs Gold from the Pen-lon Brewery if you're wondering!
£2.86 to play with....
I put £1.86 on a draw! The Czechs are wobbling.
65 Mins what was a thinking with my corner bet!? Terrible decision. I put my final pound on the Czech to score next at 15-8, sit back and wait. I've got Arshavin as first goalscorer in game 2 at 11-1. don't hold your breath on that one.
75 Mins Lambs Gold scores 5/10. It's OK, but a bit reminiscent of a home-brew.
A draw for Greece would leave me just about even, anything else and it's a washout.
85 Mins Come on Greece! In reality, they don't look likely. It's not been a great second half, the Czechs have gone off the boil.
Full Time And that was a perfect example of how not to partake in Live Betting! I really hope number was following live and copied me!
I'll be undertaking the odd exercise of writing a word a minute to describe the Poland - Russia game later.
