Happy Birthday!

Well, how are you? Well? Good. Now lets carry on. 22 today, a grand age. Its been a really crazy few weeks on all fronts and I dont really know where to begin.. Lets start with the gambling as thats really what the blog is here for..

After looking like things were settling down on the match odds front, its all of a sudden become shocks galore again. Bar United and of course the top 2 in Spain there isnt really anyone you can hang your hat on. Spurs at the Lane have also been good to me. Mostly I've been playing around with correct score. I feel like I can make bigger winnings on match odds as the last week would show but I feel correct score is safer and more reliable so Im trying to combine the two the best I can. Flexibility is the key and I always feel that if I have 2 strategies that Im confident with, I only need to time them correctly. Or even combine them in the same match if Im feeling flirtatious! Confidence is pretty good at the moment and hopefully a good december can set me up to hit the new year in very good form. I've also started lowering my stakes while still making a decent profit so thats another important step I think. I always used to be one of these people who thought you have to bet really big to make a decent profit but Im now risking only a third of what I used to and still hit around 300 this week so I cant really ask for much more than that. I havent had a look around the other blogs to see how others are getting on but hopefully nobody is doing their conkers this close to xmas. I imagine the new year brings renewed optimism for gamblers who have had a tough run.... I know I've certainly had the same thoughts only to have a stinking January....

Now then, onto Ireland, just the 85 billion to borrow so it is. Its tough to actually take in everything thats going on. Im not big into politics but the realisation of how fucked this country is has finally started to sink in for me. The announcement of saving 15 billion last week hasnt gone down too well but I actually dont have too many arguements on whats been proposed. Cutting the minimum wage by a euro isn't ideal but we have one of the highest minimum wages in europe anyway. Certainly no harm in cutting all these resource teachers either. What do they actually do??? In fact teachers should be hit harder imo.... What other profession do you walk into after 3 years in college and start earning around 30k??? There should be a scale surely?? And teachers that are just subbing earn just as much! The corporation tax had to stay the same otherwise we would be in even bigger trouble. Anyway, Im no expert on these things but we will never see the likes of the Celtic Tiger again. A shame I was a bit too young to make hay but at least I didn't end up with some ridiculous mortgage or something like that. I have my car and for now I have my job. Cant complain too much.

Personal life is going pretty good too but it can be tough to balance everything. In the past I've just chosen sports and gambling over everything and theres no craic to that really. Dublin has evened things up on that front although there are times when you're out and you think of a match that you could be making potential winnings on. Just have to try really hard and not focus on something that could be happening and look at what is happening. Whats happening tonight is El Classico! Cant wait. Leaning towards Barca on this one as they're really looking in the mood and Madrid away from home in the league have done just about enough in their matches. They're definitely a different team under Jose though and I love the fact that he has got a settled starting 11 that he never changes unless necessary. Might play correct score tonight.Good luck everyone!
