It's Raining Money

So yesterday i actually made money because it rained at the cricket! Betfair have a market on if the match will be completed or not and with the players off for rain and the possibility of them returning uncertain, there was a lot of activity in this market with over $500,000 traded.
Although i made money by the game being abandoned (they actually came back on for half an hour or so but had to go off for good when it started raining again) i would have made more from my bet on Pakistan to win the match as they would have won easily had the match been completed. In one day cricket the golden rule is always bet against England as they are truely terible at the shortened form of the game.To update you on the weekend's golf; Tiger eventually won in a playoff but his game wasn't really on and i think he's feeling it a bit after playing in an almost super human manner the last few weeks.
He's a short priced favourite again this week in a much worse field so i won't be laying him but won't be backing him either. I'll probably just do some three balls when the tournament starts on Friday.

On a seperate note Mansion are doing a promotion whereby if you bet $1,100 on the Steelers in their first game against the Dolphins they'll refund your bet if they don't win. Needless to say i have already taken them up on this offer and can't wait for the game next Thursday.
