Shafted in overtime...

After our winning bet on the QPR - Birmingham game last night, our total pot stands at 101.68.

If games were 89 minutes long, we would have had a dream evening. However, they are not... A reminder of the advised bets for last night:

Bolton v Everton
The Draw
3.5

Fulham v Wigan
The Draw
3.45

1 point singles and a 1 point double: Total stake 3 points

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Hull v Chelsea
Chelsea
1.51

Man Utd v West Ham
Man Utd
1.22

Liverpool v Portsmouth
Liverpool
1.38

Arsenal v Tottenham
Arsenal
1.48

.5 point trebles and a .5 point accumulator: Total Stake 2.5 points

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's review this.

Fulham v Wigan - Draw - this was a stone cold loser. Wigan have been surprisingly inconsistent this season, and Fulham took advantage of a bad day. No argument here.

Bolton v Everton - Draw - A Marouane Fellaini header in the 92nd minute denied us here.

So no win - 3 points lost.

Moving onto the other four - the Big 4 - we backed them all to win, three trebles and a double. Again, until the 89th minute we were looking good, then from nowhere, Spurs popped up with two goals to equalise and deny us a clean sweep.

So here, we had a stake of 2.5 - and one of the .5 trebles came up (Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea) giving us a return of 1.27. So, overall, this is a loss of 1.23.

Coupled with the lack of draws in the other two games above, this gave us an overall loss of 4.23 points.

If the games were five minutes shorter, how different it would be...

Total Pot now 97.45
