So much for my rankings eh? My two outside tips for Superbowl glory (Pittsburgh & Tampa Bay) have already bitten the dust and my eggs now firmly sit in a Green Bay & Indianapolis basket! After this demoralising start I've decided not to add to my position in the outright market but instead I'll continue to try and knock up some profits through trading the matches individually. A wise move I think, as this weekend has once again reminded me how difficult it is to be a straight up punter. Now that I think about it, I don't even know what I'm going to be doing in the next 10 minutes let alone who's going to win an American Football match!

Fortunately, when I stuck to the tried and tested methods I made some good gains:

NFL

NFL Season 07/08 - Superbowl Winner : £6.61

Washington @ Seattle : £61.89

NY Giants @ Tampa Bay : £168.11

.

Trading NFL games is good fun and in my opinion it's one of the better sports to start on, so if you're new to this type of thing I'd recommend having a look at next week's games whilst they're in-play to see what you think. Unfortunately, it's a big downer that the season only lasts for 6 months of the year.

In what could be considered a quiet week, I also had a look at the weekends Guinness Premiership rugby games:

.

Rugby Union

Bath v Gloucester : £10.20

Harlequins v Leicester : £20.13

.

Both were pretty drab affairs in the first half so there weren't too many opportunities to profit. On a brighter note though, I'm off to watch the mighty Ospreys play Gloucester on Saturday in the Heineken Cup and I'm sure that one will have alot more action.

.

That's all I have to report for now so good luck for the week ahead!

P.S. - You can tell I've started back to work as my posts are much shorter :-)
