Pi**ed off ....
If things, any things, 'p1ss you off', stop now, give up. It's the worst thing you can do. Even a genius market reader who gets p1ssed off will lose.

You had a load of great advice before, enough things to keep you busy for months, but you're back in a couple of days! I think you just have an over inflated sense of your own abilities and expect to do this without putting in the 100s or 1000s of hours. Not just 100s of hours playing at it and clicking all over the place, I mean 100s of hours really focussed study, noting and understanding.

What about your stats? Do you know which race types, price ranges, market profiles are working best/worse ? Are your odds-on trades better than your 6+ trades? I'm guessing you don't keep detailed stats, in fact I'd put money on it.

Just trade at random and watch.

Pick a race this evening at odds of less than 4.00, back the favourite and trade out before post. I bet you get a lot of positive trades rather than jumping in and out of the market every time it sneezes.
There you go deggsy, 19:25 Newm. Nice bit of profit to start your evening.

It's all very well posting graphs showing a horses price coming in. However, how are you supposed to predict it will work out like that? So many times I have backed a backed in horse to see the price reverse and go the other way.

I dont know what you mean by odds on trades better than 6+ trades. What stats should I be collecting and how would I use them to predict future races?

Yes and lost more money. Chain of daisies. Backed but price went up so I cashed out for a loss about 5 minutes before off. Of course the minute I cashed out, the odds came back in again.

Your problem is as I described earlier, the instructions I gave were very specific. You wouldn't have lost money following them. You created the loss, not the market.

Another decent one.

Try not to get in too early. Its always tempting when you see a big swing, to just jump in at 10mins out. But usually, theres a lot less money in the market, meaning a swing back the opposite way is just as likely.

Try and get in around 5-3mins out. This is when all the big money comes in to the market.
