This time next week I will have arrived in Stratford. My plans for the day remain pretty uncertain with a online session probably the favourite although I will certainly head to the casino to say hello to everybody first at least. I expect to arrive at around 2pm so will have a few hours before having to sit down to play online if that is what I do.
Facebook is full of posts about some game that involves running around chasing an egg. It looks like England won something but nobody really cares. I should know what it is called, but just can"t remember. I am pretty sure we watched it in Wales before we started playing proper sport. Speaking of which, in news that people seemed to care much more Man Utd and West Ham drew 1-1 in the FA Cup. It would be awesome to see West Ham win the FA Cup and nick 4th place off Man City or Arsenal just to complete a totally weird season. The standard of the current Premier League must be disappointing. Tottenham seem to be a team likely to win it this season to me but were easily beaten by the second best side in Germany in Dortmund. Dortmund are good but I would expect them to have a hard time against teams like Athletico Madrid, Real Madrid and PSG. They would have a decent chance but the games would be very competitive, you could probably just about fit Bayern Munich into that little group too although tbh they would very clearly be the strongest. Thing is at the moment none of the teams in the premiership fit in this group which can"t really be acceptable.
Back to the old betting business, after messing up last weeks accumulator bets I completed one yesterday which cost me £7.19 and generated me a free bet of £25, good result that. Now I just need to lay Barcelona against Arsenal, not doing it yet though as the current price of 1.25 should come in. I can then get back to setting stuff up as I have missed doing it on the weekend due to being not too good. Cheltenham offers a massive chance to make decent money with price boosts and free bet offers but I am in work due to being off for the next two weeks after next week so won"t be jumping onto as much as I would ideally like. Will update as I go.
Picking finalist for the main is now getting harder and harder. Fight your way through the field all the way to the final of the main event is one tough task, it is not just another APAT, and my next pick is somebody who is well aware of what it takes to do just that. He is a guy who has cashed at 7 apat events including multiple WCOAP cashes. His game is unconventional and he mixes it with entertaining but smart table talk making him a tough opponent. He was involved in one of the toughest battles I can remember at a poker table in a four way fight at the final table of the WCOAP 2010. He may have bubbled the medals on that day but that was not the last we saw of him. Indeed he was at the final table of the last apat event in Luton with a 6th place finish. Accompanied by his trusted sidekick The Penguin who always takes care of his chips when they go in he is my fourth pick for the Final table - Mark Lassman.
