Hi guys, I am sorry but I will have to update this blog in the morning. Amie has now got her spots but feels better. Now Zoe my 6 year old is feeling rough and I can't find the words to say how I am feeling. It looks like I have had a lucky escape as I was intending to trade on the Liverpool v Arsenal match tonight, but as soon as I put the twins to bed at 7, Zoe asked me if I would lay on the sofa and watch Emmerdale with her. I fell asleep within seconds and woke to Andy Gray shouting about Dudek's goal keeping and, when my eyes got into focus, saw the score was 4 -1. I hope not too many of you were caught out as I surely would have been. I am up on the day but traded very few races.

It;s good to take a day off, and I think you picked the right day. 3-6. Good game, but bit disappointing....no touchdowns.

Hope you and the kids are feeling better tomorrow. :-).

You were extremely lucky man.I had initially decided to trade "under 3.5 goals" market, but fortunately exited soon, as I realized that the match is going to be a bit unusual.And when I was watching the goals scored one after another, I was really thinking of you and that whether you're able to get rid of this match or not! Now I'm happy to read that you never ever traded on this amazing match!

Anyway, I took a lesson from this match: Go back over 2.5 goals with full stake whenever Dudek is in the line-up!

Also I wish your kids to be better tomorrow. Kind regards

Hi Ray
Never a better time to fall asleep, I ended up £20, but god knows how, as I was mainly trading on various markets to have no next goal :-O..........after initially being on the draw HT..

...anyway a profits a profit, I guess I didn't use all my luck up the night before!!

I did worry about you, I envisaged you switching to each under market and being wiped out 7 goals was matched at 220 on betfair!!

Hi Ray
Why is that kids dont all get chicken pox together - why is it always one after the other? Still the younger they get it the better as it is a real swine as a teenager or adult. Hope everyone is better soon.

Hi John,
Rumour has it that the Arsenal team are being considered to play cricket for England with scores like that.
