Time for a time-out

The win on the Patriots on Sunday night put me a whooping £16.16 up this month, and my first objective every month is to make a profit, which is what I've done. I've also met my interest based target of £9.50 which is my second objective. Sadly I've not met my third challenge which is to beat my previous best months performance, and this month I've fallen short by some margin. With only one weekend left this month, a defeat now would leave me in a hole that I probably won't be able to get out of. Therefore I'm going to have a break until February and come back with batteries fully charged.

Ultimately this month, 3 key defeats have cost me; Liverpool against Wigan, Arsenal against Birmingham and Newcastle against Bolton. Another month they could have all gone my way and I'd have been sitting on a profit of circa £450. That's the way the cookie crumbles, and I'm happy that despite those set backs and a further defeat with Motherwell against St. Mirren, I'm still showing a black figure for the month.
