Mondays round up

The late lay never happened
So one nice loser a profit for the day of £181.83
The last few days have been good but not good enough
Ive ended the month down for only the second time this year
-£878.20
Its roughly the same amount I was in profit after the first week of the month
I tried playing different rules this month they didn't work!
Cant blame Ascot!
Maybe just a run of bad luck ?
I purposely broke the rules by laying larger amounts and not starting high and getting lower protecting my profits
Ive also had look over the results Saturdays have always been tricky and that shows in the profit/loss
A new month and a fresh start keeping to the old rules as they work better that's been proven the hard way
Positive attitude moving forward that's whats needed and that's what I'm going to have

Tuesday, 24 June 2008

Tuesdays round up

The Right result with " Black Dahila" but with " Everymanforhimself" giving the wrong result always going to be hard to reach the £200 target, so today I bail out with a respectable £82.90
This puts more pressure on tomorrow
Should it be a £300 target ?
Is it possible ?
I'm up for it lets have it!!!
£300 tomorrow?

Tuesday up date

Just lost out by a nose with the 315

Monday, 23 June 2008

Mondays round up

A disappointing start with the first lay giving the wrong result
The 810 gave the wright result
To try and get back into profit for the month I'm undertaking the most aggressive laying strategy yet a £200 profit per day
I had to lay some with very high liability's
Today's profit £198.41

Mondays lays

Two today
315-Lingfield-Chjimes
810-Windsor-Slip
Round up after the 810

Saturday, 21 June 2008

Saturday night round up

It was allways going to be difficult to get "Honalulu" beat and it didnt happen today
With "Firstbuddy" getting beat it was one out of two
With only nine days to go untill the end of the month it going to be touch and go to reach my profit target!
I might not even make any profit!
As Ive said earler in the week Ive been laying short price favouates the idea being low odds lower losses if I do get the wrong result
The experiment may not be working at the end of the next nine days the proof will be on the blog

Saturday Lays

Two today
300-Redcar-Firstbuddy
535-Ascot-Honolulu
Keep checking for no runners

Friday, 20 June 2008

Wednesday night round up

Another favourite beat !!
Great
As you've noticed I'm only putting one lay up on the blog I think for a meeting like Royal Ascot you have to concentrate

Wednesdays lays

Another at the Royal meeting
530-Ascot-Makaaseb
Back after

Tuesday, 17 June 2008

Tuesdays round up

It was great to get the favourite beat today
The 730 was very close to going on the blog but it didn't
Its been a tricky month trying to get the new rules on line and trying to work them out live in real time, learning as I go has been tough
As you may of gathered Ive been upping the anty some what with higher liability's and stakes by using low odds and laying favourites !
The first week of this month the new ideas worked very well with profits of £929.57
Great news I here you cry !
"Why not let us all get on board"
But the P&L to date from the start of the month to today its a different story
A loss for the month to date of £-454.71
As Ive said before I had high hopes for this month
At just over half way though the month I need to pull it round
On telling a friend my results "he said why didn't you stop at £1k ?"
My reply
"why does the pope wear a funny hat?"
OK not the most realistic statement but I had no proper answer
Learning in real time is hard
I'm going to come back to this blog at the end of the month and see whats happened

Tuesdays lays

One today at the Royal meeting
305-Ascot-Fleeting Spirit
Back at 7pm with one at Yarmouth

Monday, 16 June 2008

Mondays round up

A 50/50 day one winner one loser
When laying small priced favourites its a mixed bag
The only good thing about it is that the liability's are lower but favourites do win !
I ha vent changed the rules yet,because Id rather be the ginne pig on my own
With laying £100 per lay low odds have to be better ?
Before when I was laying £50 per lay or £ 250 liability's when anything near 6.0 comes home the winner its very hard to get back in profit in a couple of days
The balance will show itself with this months results
Back tomorrow

Monday night lay

Im very dissapionted with the "Film Festival" result I had some very negative information about that horse this morning
Moveing on to tonight
840-Warwick-Sweet Lilly
Back after

Mondays lays

One today
430-Film Festival
Back after Im waiting on info for the 840-Warwick

Sunday, 15 June 2008

Sundays round up

Nothing yesterday or today I had a look over the weeks lays and out of the 12 I put up (within the rules) 10 lost and two won a 82% strike rate
Ive been playing around with the golf and the football with so so results If things inprove I'll start putting them on the blog
With Ascot next week its going to be busy
Im going on Thursday and with betfair lite on the blackberry it should be a fun day
Back tomorrow

Thursday, 12 June 2008

Thursdays round up

Laying favourites is always dangerous with one loser and one winner a 50% strike rate
A disappointing day overall the positive being that both horses went of under 2.9 so minimum losses
Ill get it back tomorrow

Thursdays lays

Today I'm going to lay two favourites
210-Newbury-Noble jack
220-Yarmouth-Agent Parmigiano
Back later

Wednesday, 11 June 2008

Wednesday night up date

With both lays losing a 100% strike rate!
Anybody who's been reading the blog over the last few weeks will be saying to themselves "only two lays today"
Yes I trying to break my info down into the best information I can give
On some days Ive put up more than five lays in a day
The law of averages are against me!
Any new comers may think its easier to pick a loser then a winner!
But anybody that lays professionally will no that to be a lie or at least a exaggeration
I'm happy with today performance
The only problem with only laying two horses is that to make a good profit you have to laying £50 upwards per lay to hit the kind of targets I'm hoping to reach
Should the long awaited new rules drop the lay limit to nothing over 3.9 ?
More tomorrow

Wednesdays alays

With two wrong results today
Iguazo Falls
And
Bivovac
The Bivovac results was the hardest to take I thought Iguazo falls was going to be a tight thing But the housewifes favouite came good !
The change on the Eglevski from a lay to a place win bet was a 50/50 gamble was the right call
I was given so much positve information about this horse before the off !
That I had to change it
Not the day I thought it would be be

Todays strike rate 66%

On a positive note three out of the four lays lost
So that's a 75% strike rate
We need the other 25% to turn it round

Wednesday night round up

With "Stringsofmylife" coming home FIRST not second ,not second from last but FIRST!
I hope Ive expressed my displeasure !
I know I discussed this last week on the blog but connections put this horse up as lay of the day ?
Not one of them,not two, but three of them!
I always intended to lay like a trader not a gambler i.e. making choices and decisions from facts not on the flip of a coin !
That's why Ive stayed with my connections.
Myself and Eleanor have both feel that we have to make a decision sooner than later.
As are selections are currently running on a higher percentage then are connections!
Can somebody anybody sell me a double headed coin ?
Then I can flip it and at lest I'll only have myself to blame
Still haven't updated the new rules
More tomorrow
