Here is the other part of what I found looking into the spreadsheet. Once again, apologies for any possible errors, spelling or numerical, I have double-checked everything but still it might not be enough. There are many major points that need answering.
31)No mention of the £162.75 profit made from trading Everton/Man City on the 16th January, but occasionally, he does post the complete truth such as this £2,365.07 profit from the Villa/West Ham game. (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1119977#msg1119977) However he does not mention the fact he traded on the game in-running on both goals (under 1.5 making £1.37) and also the draw (making £74.17)
32)Blatch makes no mention of his bet on the Bolton/Arsenal game. He nets £939.95 on this and then an additional £108.31 betting the number of goals. Meanwhile he now claims to have a bankroll for the account of £52,000 (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1119988#msg1119988). This strikes me as odd because at the same time he starts lumping lots of money on snooker too. Mere pennies compared to the size of the account, but why?

33)17th January, Blatch branches out to golf now, betting loads on the Sony Open, specifically Group B, needless to say it's all kept silent. He nets £1371.83, mainly from the below bet:
18-Jan-2010 00:00:00 18-Jan-2010 02:25:19 Settled United kingdom 9895662878 101056901 Golf Group B / Sony Open Group B / Sony Open; Winner Ryan Palmer Back GBP United kingdom 1,500.00 1.68 1.68 1,020.00
34)Blatch posts a £3,072 profit (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1121788#msg1121788. The spreadsheet backs this up. What Blatch doesn't mention is that he was trading in-running on the Newcastle/West Brom game, risking large sums on the draw towards the end of the game. He makes a profit of £122.23 – this is not mentioned, obviously.
35) Two incredibly dodgy bets see £10,000 disappear out of the account.

36)January 20th – Blatch claims a £73,000 BR (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1121806#msg1121806)
37) A “gutted” Blatch says he only made a profit of £360 on the Chelsea/Preston game (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1123043#msg1123043). The spreadsheet counts it as £657.52. The next day, he makes a £3,070 profit in the Arsenal/Stoke game (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1123387#msg1123387) though the spreadsheet says just £3,001.43. (I counted this several times).
38)Blatch makes a £322.13 profit trading from the 27th Jan, Blackburn/Wigan game. Again, it is not mentioned on the thread. Blatch also lumps on the Chelsea/Birmingham game backing Chelsea @ 1.27. He then lays off @ 1.1 after 10 minutes into the game when Chelsea are 1-0 up. He makes £2,730.50 from this, again unreported.
39)29th January, Blatch makes numerous Horse Racing bets at lots of different meetings that day. He makes £248.10 unreportered.
40)Blatch confesses to a large loss of £7676.91in the Man Utd/Arsenal game (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1127245#msg1127245). Spreadsheet confirms this happened. He neglects to mention the £236.27 he made from betting over/under on goals or £210 profit trading Fulham against Villa or the £50 profit from West Ham against Blackburn, both on the 30th of January. Also on the 30th, he makes two bets (with no layoff) on Liverpool, they come in:

He also bets on horses and darts this day, losing £4185.37. He does win though, on Newcastle/Leicester game making £4,178.96 and on the Chelsea/Burnley game, betting on the former to with no layoff to make £1,485.

He also bets on the goals (under 3.5) for another £22.60
41)31st January shows Blatch laying golfers for little profit bizarrely...
31-Jan-2010 00:00:00 31-Jan-2010 11:37:24 Settled United kingdom 9997093886 101092046 Golf Group B / Qatar Masters Group B / Qatar Masters; Winner Lee Westwood Lay GBP United kingdom 50.00 9.00 8.20 50.00

He bets heavily (£3.3k with no lay) on Man City to win against Portsmouth, and trades the goal under 2.5 to make a £1,173.14 profit which is not mentioned. He also makes £327.45 from backing in the darts, then another £2,336.59 from a mixture golf and darts later that day as well.
42)1st February, Blatch bets lots on horse races all day and loses £8629.06. He lays Stoke at Sunderland for £2,200 after this which helps him out a little after Stoke fail to win.
01-Feb-2010 00:00:00 01-Feb-2010 17:24:46 Settled United kingdom 10004120322 101092167 Soccer Fixtures 01 February / Sunderland v Stoke Fixtures 01 February / Sunderland v Stoke; Match Odds Stoke Lay GBP United kingdom 2,200.00 4.00 4.00 2,200.00
He then bets on the Bury/Rochdale game going on, but can only make £39.93
43)2nd February, back on the horses again, Blatch loses £1165.48 this time. He also tries betting £8,800 on Chelsea away at Hull @ 1.27. They don't win.
44)Blatch finally posts an update on the thread after about a week claiming a small win of £652 in the Leeds/Spurs game on the 3rd Feb (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1128996#msg1128996). The spreadsheet makes it £1783.35 instead. There is no mention of the £50.73 Blatch makes for trading on the under/overs for 3.5 goals. Or the £629.95 he loses on the horses that day.
45)4th Feb shows Blatch having another terrible day at the races. He loses £11,170.41 over the day.
46)Blatch comes in with three pieces of good news for the investors on the 7th Feb. (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1130738#msg1130738) claiming profits in the Liverpool/Everton game (£1,078) Birmingham/Wolves game (£592) and the Chelsea/Arsenal game (£2,102). The profits are in fact £857.36, £720.71 and £13,061.60 respectively but obviously Blatch cannot put that on the thread given how much he has done from horse racing.
47)Blatch doesn't post another update until the 15th Feb. Meanwhile he loses £1086.63 on the Villa/Man Utd match on the 10th Feb, £2011 on the Wolves/Spurs game, wins £8,949 after simply laying Portsmouth for loads against Sunderland. He loses £4654.43 trying to back Wigan against Stoke (in fairness, he tried to trade but one side was never matched) but wins £246.17 from Arsenal against Liverpool and £21.67 betting on the over/under for goals. He also loses £194 trying to back a horse, Nicanor in a meeting over in Ireland (9th Feb).
48)Blatch then picks up £159.76 from the Everton/Chelsea game, backing and laying loads during the last 5-10 minutes of the match.
49)February 13th Blatch backs Man City vs Stoke getting £24567.11 matched @ 1.53 which loses later that day.
Half an hour after he makes that bet he manages to back Villa @ 1.88 vs Crystal Palace, getting £29237.71 matched on them. He them tries to lay off £3k of Villa but can only match about £800 at the same original price.
He then does manage to lay off exactly £3k a little late that day, before backing Man City for another £5,247.30 putting almost £30k on them which he never attempts to lay off
He manages to lay £23k of his Villa bet retrieving most of it and lies when asked (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1130738#msg1130738) but £29,814.41 goes when Man City don't beat Stoke.
I don't believe Blatch forgot about this first bet because he goes back to put more on City - not to lay!
So the question here is, why didn't Blatch lay off the City bet? We can only ask him. His total loss for these two games is £32,234.34. He claims he made £2802 on it here (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1134354#msg1134354)
50)Mixed in on this day are several tennis bets netting £681.28 but later a loss of £565.51 – unreported of course. Blatch trades a profit of £63.26 in the Southampton/Portsmouth game too, again saying nothing. He also trades a quiet £254.39 profit from the Newcastle/Swansea game complete with betting on the unders for 1.5 goals.
51)Blatch claims a £560 profit in the AC Milan/Man Utd game on the 16th February. (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1136278#msg1136278) This is an outright lie once more, what he actually does is lay Man Utd off @ 2.78 before the game. Then when Man Utd go 1-0 down he quickly bets £4,150 in numerous little bets @ 6.6 for United to now win the game. He follows this up by betting another £2,500 @ 3.4 on United at half-time when the game is 1-1. United manage to win the game 3-2 and Blatch makes £6,242.33 in profit. If he had not backed United he would've lost £22,997.62. With 15 minutes left, United are almost guaranteeing him profit after Rooney makes it 3-1. I only mention this point because of the following action on the account.
16-Feb-2010 00:00:00 16-Feb-2010 21:28:45 Settled United kingdom 10127666063 101065549 Cricket India v South Africa - 2nd Test / SA 2nd Inns Runs 100 Runs or more Lay Asian GBP United kingdom 45.00 1.03 1.03 -1.35

Almost the exact time that Rooney scores to put United 3-1 up with 15 minutes left, almost £8,000 disappears from the account. Now, that's obviously dodgy but even if we say Blatch is a shrewd tipster who made a mistake, here he is LAYING a 2nd Innings being more than 100 knowing South Africa made 296 in the 1st innings and India made 643 on an obvious batter friendly pitch. SA manage 290 in their 2nd innings. (
http://www.cricinfo.com/indvrsa2010/engine/current/match/441826.html)
Anyway,he finishes the day betting on the tennis, another unreported £57.13 profit.
52)Blatch attempts to trade on the Wigan/Bolton game but can only break even. He fails to mention this. He does however make £460.01 on the Arsenal/Porto game but again nothing is mentioned. On the 18th of February, Blatch spends almost 2 hours straight (from 15.55 to 17.50) laying the hell out of Liverpool against Unirea Urzicer @ 1.31. Blatch waits until 5 minutes after (an 8.05pm) kickoff before backing Liverpool @ 1.27. This only yields him a profit of £82.58, so he doesn't mention it.
53)Blatch spends the rest of the 18th Feb and most of the 19th Feb betting on cricket, tennis, golf, darts and horse racing. He loses £6216.85 as a result, then he does not post on the thread between the 17th Feb and the 25th. However, he is still betting, making £50 on the Everton/Man Utd game on the 20th Feb. He makes £91.74 from Basketball betting on Boston @ Portland (19th Feb). Another £30 comes from trading the Portsmouth/Stoke match on the 20th February. Another £337.56 from the Blackburn/Bolton game on the 21st but he loses £815.57 trying to bet the over/under for goals. He also makes this dubious back/lay during this period.

Another £204.27 comes on the Wigan/Spurs game including the under/over goals while £1727.66 is the profit he makes from a Michael Llodra tennis game the same day and £354.90 from the Casey/Villegas golf semi final. He loses £1487.57 betting on Man City at home to Liverpool @ 2.64 this day as well. Meanwhile £3,040.50 gets lost backing SA and laying India in the 1st ODI
54)22nd of Feb sees Blatch betting on Tennis and horses, he makes £141.63 as a result. That evening, Blatch starts to follow the Rotherham/Shrewsbury game, the former go 1-0 up after 12 minutes and Blatch begins to heavily back them for a few minutes. 20 minutes after this and Blatch either starts to worry or thinks Shrewsbury must getting back in the game, he starts to lay at the same price he has backed. (1.47) Shrewsbury score 10 minutes later and Blatch spends the whole of half time laying off @ 2.9 and 2.82. When the second half starts, he starts backing Rotherham again for the first 15 minutes of the second half then lumps on the unders for 2.5 goals in the last quarter of the game, also backing Rotherham to win @ 9's. He manages to make £363.96 out of this. It's not mentioned on the thread.
55)23rd Feb and Blatch makes this interesting bet.
23-Feb-2010 00:00:00 23-Feb-2010 10:46:01 Settled United kingdom 10180470062 101171915 Tennis First Round Matches / Clement v Cilic First Round Matches / Clement v Cilic; Match Odds Marin Cilic Back GBP United kingdom 3,000.00 1.03 1.03 90.00
The whole day is spent betting on tennis and horses losing £1596.09 as a result. Blatch finally dives into the day's football games, trying to bet on the over/unders for goals in the last 20 minutes or so for the Stuttgart/Barcelona and Man Utd/West Ham games, however he only manages to make £13.01.
56) Actually Blatch, the spreadsheet says you made £100. (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1140632#msg1140632)
57)Having gone through this so much, here is the example of what must be a Blatch signature move although it doesn't seem to make him much. From what I've seen, Blatch likes to come to matches with about 20 minutes left or so, then bet on the over/unders for the goals in the match. Typically, he's bet on them and then lay off the bet as the prices drop over the next five to ten minutes. He does this twice on the 24th Feb for CSKA Moscow vs Sevilla and then Inter vs Chelsea. These games only made him £15.77 and £36.31 each though. Blatch also made £36.11 from betting on an Andy Murray tennis match this day too.
58)Blatch makes £1,251.42 from tennis on the 25th February unbeknownst to his backers. £259.69 undeclared comes from the Unirea Urziceni/Liverpool game and £673.71 comes from several darts games on the same day. Finally he trades an £80.27 profit from the Sporting Lisbon/Everton game.
59)26th February, Neil Blatchly has a day off from grimming everyone.
60)Blatch reports and I quote a “tiny loss” of £500 from the Chelsea/Man City game. The loss is in fact more than 8 times this number, it's £4,005.10. Blatch backs Chelsea a load the night before @ 1.47 and has to lay them just as the game is starting @ 1.55. He probably figures Chelsea will beat erratic Man City at home but the Blues in fact lose 4-2.
While the match is going on and is still 0-0, Blatch has a dabble with the day's horses and loses £529.69. He comes back to the match to find Chelsea 4-2 down and quickly begins both backing City and laying Chelsea but he's unable to salvage any real money from the mess.
No matter, he claims back a £1,204 win in trading from the Stoke/Arsenal game. (
http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43354.msg1142166#msg1142166) Hands up who thinks that's true? I'm afraid you people lose. The actual amount of profit from this game was just £92.43 but thanks for playing anyway.
