Young Punter's Glory Hunt

[Livestrong]

Finally! Yesterday, I turned 18, which means I am finally legally old enough to gamble! :nana Thought I might as well start a glory hunt to track my progress and see if I'm making a profit or a loss. I will be starting with a bank of ten units to begin with and all bets will be with Paddy Power. I will mainly be betting on football. The first goal is to get my bank up to 100 units, and then we'll see where I go from there. :hope

Bet 1. English Premier League Wigan vs. Tottenham. My initial thoughts are that Tottenham are good value at around evens to beat Wigan at the weekend. Yeah, Tottenham have lost two of their first four games, but we must remember the two of those were against Man City and Man United who were both in scintillating form. Apart from that, Spurs beat Wolves 3-0 and Liverpool 4-0. Not a bad start in my eyes. Wigan haven't started too badly - with two draws, two defeats, and one win - but they do not have the quality to keep out an in-form Tottenham side, especially with Adebayor up-front. I'm very confident that Spurs will win on Saturday so I am going in with a max bet. 5 Units - Tottenham to beat Wigan @2.00. Paddy Power :hope
