Back to uni

So I go back to uni today after a month off. I have played a decent amount of poker.. though, still, probably not as much as I'd like. I've had a great time in the holidays though. Had more BBQs than I can count with friends.

From gut feeling poker isn't going too well this month really, though it just feels like standard stuff. Not sure too much more will be played as I've got an exam at the end of the week, then off to visit family up north.

As everyone likely knows the world cup is ~50 days away. I'm gonna get sooo few hands in during the world cup that I'm going to try and push my edge at football betting (I think I have one). I realise the variance in this is huuuuge, bigger than poker. So really, it's not totally for profitability, I think it'll be fun too.

I've put $15k on Spain to win their group at 1/3 because I thought it was greaaaat value, even if a certain statistical website disagreed. I have ~$11k on Ladbrokes which I haven't used for like 2 years cos their games have always been awful really. So I'll use that as a mini bankroll for the world cup. I'm not sure how much I'll actually be doing, because I'll be very picky about only betting when I spot value. Despite playing poker for a living I'm not actually a big gambler, I like knowing I have an edge and that it's not just a 50/50 flip or whatever. Sooo if I go through that Ladbrokes account I certainly wont be using any more, I'd feel like too much of a degenerate.

Gl for the rest of the month!
