Day 7 was one of slim pickings for the challenge. With not many games being played, i focused mainly on Torino v Milan in Serie A and Malaga v Real Sociedad in La Liga.
I was on a train as the games kicked off. With an increasingly low battery I was frantically checking team news and odds. Torino took a lead just as the odds for over 0.5 goals was about to hit and despite a busy start in the Malaga game, I didn't feel confident despite both teams recent fixtures featuring plenty of goals.
Yet as the odds hit, I noticed another game over in Portugal had kicked off slightly later. 4th placed Braga at home to bottom of the league Tondela. Yes! This was the game for me!!
With battery dwindling by the second, I managed to stick out the first 15 or so minutes as the game remained 0-0. Despite Braga being big favourites, it only took around 20 minutes for the odds to drop to 1/10. As it did, I put our pot of £21.91 on.
My battery was in pieces. Now in a car, I was reserving checking on 3 minute intervals. I made it only to discover that I had forgotten my phone charger on my travels!!!
Down to 2% battery, the game had moved into the second half. On my phones deathbed, the news filtered through that Braga had taken a 49th minute lead! My phone could now die in piece!!
We banked our pot which has now risen to £24.11 and move forward celebrating one week unscathed!
