THE BOOKIES HAVE WON MY £100,000

Ok well the bookies have taken my £100,000 from me. It's taken them 29 days and 23 bets but they have won this battle. I'm in shock because thats the first time that has happened in a while. It just shows you the very fine line between success and failure as had Manchester United beaten Newcastle on the 17 August 2008, my balance would have been £151,000 plus so I wouldnt have had to have been so aggressive since then, which has ultimately lost me my money.

Fortunately, I have an additional £200,000 at my disposal for further funds. So I am going to double this into £400,000 within 12 months so that I recoup my £100,000 I have lost and make the £100,000 I wanted to in the first place. I know I can do it, I've done it many, many time before! The bookies just won a big battle, but I will ultimately win the war!

New list of bets to follow this.................
