Finished the year with a small win, as I backed Liverpool at home to Newcastle @ 1.57, closing out when the odds shortened to 1.54. A gain of 1.85 points

A small number of matches with sufficient funds staked, but only Mirandes v Santander was worth trading. Backed the home team at 2.4, laying at 2.36 to gain 1.61 points.

2 matches with money being placed – I decided to trade Everton at home to Bolton. I layed Everton at 1.55, but they shortened to 1.52 (when I closed out) – and even further to 1.48 by the usual closure time. This trade could have been a very profitable one had I placed the trade later – and getting the timing right remains one of the potential pitfalls in using this approach successfully. Lost 3.59 points on this trade.

Only a single game eligible for trading on each day, but neither provided compelling evidence to trade.

This left the week as a virtual break-even.
