Nothing seems to be going my way! I know I sound like a mug punter, but every event looks like going against me. Even in the horse racing, where I pick out underdogs at odds of 8+, and out of the last 7 races, five have come in second place, so excruciatingly close to first place. I'm beginning to think that I have a talent for picking runners up, rather than the winner.
Tonight's bet of Stoke not winning sounds very hollow now. After reading the match report on Soccernet, it seems like Stoke dominated the game, and deserved to win, even though they had sent out their 2nd string side and Rotherham are playing very well actually in league 2. I guess I overestimated the strength of league 2 sides.
Anyways, there's nothing to do at the moment except learn from mistakes, and make smaller bets waiting for this bad streak to end. Tomorrow's Carling Cup matches throw up some juicy fixtures. I will be at the Chelsea match against Burnley, but there doesn't seem to be any value in there. The Tottenham vs Liverpool match seems promising, with my leaning towards Tottenham, but I will have to examine the team sheets and the managerial press conferences a bit more to see what sort of teams will be taking the field. Sunderland vs Blackburn also look like it might throw up something interesting (under 2.5?) but again I will have to assess tomorrow afternoon once there is more news.
