The Destroying of the Credit Card Mission - 30/11/05

[3hree]

I've decided to try and destroy my credit card with good bets that I have found punted here or off my own back. I am currently £550 into my credit card. If I can get it down to £300 by Christmas then I think I can get it all off by end of January. I will be posting my bets in this thread with the stakes and where they are from, hopefully will be an interesting read. Anybody with the similar idea get involved!! If I start losing remind me that I don't have to bet on everything, I sometimes get that frame of mind. Probably start with tonight's UEFA Cup! Cheers, Jonny

Re: The Destroying of the Credit Card Mission - 30/11/05 First bet will be: UEFA Cup CSKA Sofia vs Viking Over 2.5 Goals Few factors here to be considered. Firstly, CSKA manager asking his players to bring him first victory in group stages and give him a birthday present, '"I would to like to see my players giving their all," said JeÅ¡ić, whose side beat city rivals PFC Slavia Sofia at the weekend. "Of course, we will play to win. But the most important thing is how we will perform."' With this in mind if his team wins 6-5 he'll be happy. Another important factor is that for Viking this is the last game of their season and many a big name are leaving/retiring. These players will want to go out on a high, not to mention the impending departure of Roy Hodgson to manage Finland! 'Frode Hansen, Egil Østenstad and Bjørn Berland all retire after the game, while Peter Kopteff leaves during the January transfer window. Captain Brede Hangeland is also expected to be sold in the new year.' Another thing is that Viking have travelled with their keeper, who has a bad back injury. I fully expect this match to exceed 2 goals. Confidence - 75% Stake - £40
