Back Down to Earth With a Bump

After yesterday's great result I came back to earth with a bump today with Boro's 2nd minute goal at St James' tonight. Ended up losing 17 quid on the football tonight with a tenner profit on the play-off offsetting some of the loss.

I traded a couple of Tennis matches in Madrid this afternoon for a fiver profit and having decided to trade the Ice Hockey after all last night, which netted another £6, I ended up only six quid down on the day.

So not the best start to the week but at least I bailed out of the Newcastle-Boro game before the equaliser in the 9th minute. Not so long ago I would have hung around and ended up losing more. The ability to accept a loss is proving to be a valuable lesson that I have learned and if I can stick with this new found discipline it augurs well for the future.

Looking forward to the Capitals - Penguins game 6 in a few minutes time, hope Ovechkin can take it back to Washington for a game 7 decider. Think I'll lay the draw and try and trade out early and enjoy the show.
