Thank you wilf!wilf wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 1:55 pmIt's a good stall if you're a front runner and quick out of the gates, but if you are a hold up horse then you end up getting trapped on the rail behind a bunch of donkeys slowing you down.
If you watch the race back Hunters Step is slow out the gates and the pace of the the race is Pearl Spectre which is drawn high, but they all get out quicker and make there way over to the rail trapping Hunters Step in slightly. Near the end of the race Hunters had loads of run left, but got blocked by the horses in front and had to weave through which cost momentum and maybe the race. Mr mac had a clear run through.

I had an absolute disaster of a moment today, through an inplay trade... I went to the one click screen and changed to fixed stake, where usually I'll either stake by Book % or fixed liability. (I change it for inplay) in an unconscious moment I forgot to change my stake in the area above our ladders & short story is it wiped my account clean, I've now got 48p in my account.... I keep a fixed amount in my account so I know it's not the end of the world but by god it hurt and in an unrealistic world it would take 50 straight green days to get it back.
I know it's lost and its not about getting it back but it made me so angry at myself... one lack of thought, one lapse in concentration dents the confidence.

If it makes you feel any better I've wiped out endless banks I cant count them its been that many thinking I've got everything nailed down and jump to big stakes etc but in reality its a mega slow grind I found this out the hard way I now keep things slow and steady I've been trying to trade for 5 years now and still dont think I am any closer to making profit I just keep trying all the same
I remember attending a Steve Howe course
In a nutshell I seriously doubt any one has ever made it to the top without burning the odd bank or two
Keep tough mate I feel your pain.

Cannot figure out yesterdays racing 
or even the weeks racing is it just me or has anyone else struggled this week gone ?
I got my arse handed to me which is making me doubt myself ?
My selections are either just getting beat on the line Jockeys falling off or non runners triggering my bets for fun so frustrating.

You can set a max Bet Angel liability in the Settings/Stakings section (just in case you aren't aware of it)... Feel your pain..
Several weeks, operating with a smaller bank and a back to basics approach.

I think the loss in money is only a factor, it's relative to time & I have a lifetime. My anger towards myself I think comes from making a silly mistake. I'm probably making more of it than I need to, when I told the Mrs she basically shrugged it off as a nothing which says a lot.
