It appears I forgot to insert my bet last night in haste and it was honestly a winner so I'm going to have to go with it. It was only 4/9 so I'm sure that is acceptable and was Inter to win away to Cagliari. If it had been over evens or above then I would have considered nulling it but in the scheme of things it's not a big deal. I'll just have to be more vigilant in future.

Not going at all were or how I expected but I'll plod on regardless. It looks like I'll need a big refill for January but hopefully I can do a better job with that cash next month. For now I'll just have to see if I can start adding more to the bank before the month ends.

Forgot the selection there so reposted. Not a good day. I actually meant to chose Atletico but somehow managed to pick Villarreal overs. Of course the Atletico game finished over and this one didn't.

There is little doubt I have made an arse of this first month but no point in worrying about it now as the damage is done. It just means I need to dig deep next month and hope I can improve. The selections haven't been good and have been too frequent. Next month I'll be more selective. No chance of a recovery in the remaining week but as I don't want to go gung-ho chasing the losses I'll just see what I can recoup.
