Its a poor reflection of my trading skills when the Befair crash tonight gave me my best day for a month. It was lucky that I was laying an outsider. I was in profit for the day before the crash, and the horse I was trading started at a much shorter price than the one I layed it at. Hence it looks that the crash helped me avoid my regular big loser for the day. All that time spent listening to ‘Trading in the Zone’, trying to implement his advice, watching markets, trying out simple ‘edges’, keeping records and analysing my mistakes, when all I needed was blind luck. My sincere sympathies go to anyone who lost money on a good trade because of the crash.

I'm glad to hear you had a bit of luck to cheer you up. When it crashes, sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. It should balance out.
But, in order to have the best chance of it balancing out, you need a lot of crashes.
Logic therefore says that if BF is ever going to crash, it would be better if it crashed more often.
