Well tonight’s the night I’m going to stay up past midnight for the training. The notification bell has been ringing almost all day today. Unfortunately, I have not had the real time to put into it today because of the stay at home dad thing (not that I mind spending the day with my son). This week we’re doing swimming lessons so my schedule is a little out of whack. Lots of arbs today at 98% and lower, but I have not either had the chance to place the trades or I have not had the funds in the right sports book. If there is anything that is frustrating right now, it’s the fact that I do not have the ability to fund the accounts I want to in the right amounts. Another couple of weeks and maybe it will be better. I am working my way to getting $10,000 to work with.

I’ve been able to place one trade today for $200.00. It’ll probably net me a whopping .60 but I still wanted to do it to keep in practice. The baseball game does not start until 9:05 our time so it will be a late one. I like to pay attention to the games even though it does not matter who wins. I also had my first experience where the betting lines changed while making the wager which meant that I did have the potential to lose $7.00. So far it's looking like I'm going to get lucky however. I still need to get in the habit of making the trade with the greater odds first as that's the line that's most likely to change.

I am also discovering that the best time to watch things is currently the worst time for me. Usually mid morning is when I hear the bell ringing the most letting me know there are arbs available. I am looking forward to the time when there are funds available AND my wife's schedule slows down a bit.

It's 11:05 and I am ready for bed. This training better be good!
