Large drifter loses shock! An easy trade to get away.

I kept backing it IR and lost 50 quid.

I feel Barney is like Mugabe, the exitement of opposition means they will live for ever.

When the money started to oppose it I just laid it heavily. What made you back it in-running, it was pretty much out of control during the race?

Hi,

Not sure if this was the one that running like a mad thing but I thought they said on the radio it had one eye. I guess if that's the case it's only happy going round one way or on the straight. Or maybe Barney whispered to the stable lad as they got him out the box "tis only 7f this one, no worries eh" :D

Cheers

dunno, I thought a double bluff was going on.

Loads of front runners are wining now as the form is set and the ground is good.

a loss is good for the the PC, still sitting at 20.23% and no PC so far in 2010

After a poor start out of the stalls, Allanit went 15 lengths clear until four furlongs out and then got swamped by the chasing pack.

That was an interesting market but I only managed to get £107 from it. Somebody had a very obvious strategy on that market but I didn't I'd be surprised if it worked particulary well to be honest as everybody could see what they were doing!

Rhys.... Your the timing of your post regarding catching a decent move and then giving the majority of it back is oddly timed perfectly with regards to some research I was doing this morning through my records...

I found out that approxiamtely 65% of the time I catch a decent move +£100, I end up at post time with less than my initial profit from the big move (sometimes just a few pounds other times the majority of my initial profit). I believe this is due to two factors:

1) Dropping my guard slightly, due to the 'invincible' feeling, caused by the adrenaline generated by catching a great move.

2) Greed: wanting to experience that adrenaline/ great feeling immediately all over again!!!! asap!!!

The 'obvious' answer from the stats is that I should sit on the sideline for the remainder of the time to post - completely against my nature! (and also ridiculous to miss out on other opportunities...)

However I know that it is down to a minor lack of focus/ discipline brought on by the adrenaline, that causes me to ignore my 'set in stone' rules that need to be fulfilled before I enter a trade.

I guess at least I am aware of this now, with hard cold stats staring me in the face, I just need to put it in to action....
