Today's Horse Racing

Yep, every scalp moved against me at Leopards just then, came out unscathed but struggling to make any profit.

[Trading96]

Lay value on Mullins horses now maybe.

I've done some easy scalping on Mengli Khan and Real Steel, for a few ticks a time. Prices have been bouncing around steadily.

The 14:45 at Wolverhampton was delayed over 7 minutes. I was not watching a stream but surely that is a ridiculous delay.
Anyone have any idea why the race was delayed so long?

Following my bad start in the 12:55 I never really got any momentum going today

not sure but it seemed to be a lose horse

[RicHep365]

I've done ok, but i made a right mess of one race and went inplay. Luckily I got out of trouble and no money was lost. Despite not losing, I know it was textbook chasing losses, so it's put a downer on proceedings

Y, it was a loose horse.

I had a dull session then went on a great run late on which was a little flattering.

today was my last day with trading, don’t really want to bore you all with why but been trying for best part of three years now & I’m unable to make it pay, I can’t think of anything more I’ve wanted to succeed in but after a long think this really isn’t something I feel I can consistently be good at so today’s the day, best of luck in the future to everyone on here new & old. new year, new beginnings, new job & all that, cheers guys

Jockey at wolves just got the race length wrong, pushed his horse for a 7f finish in a 1m6f race, haha

As somebody new to the trading side of things, can i ask what it is that stops you from being profitable? Is it silly mistakes eroding all the wins or just more losses than profits? I intend to take this full time and have just presumed it will take a certain amount of time to get good, but 3 years is a good innings so I'm interested to know what's stopping you?

Hope Koratt wont mind me saying, but he has struggled with the emotional side of it. Trading is a right old rollercoaster and it can mess with your mind.

This happened before at Wolverhampton in a 1m4f race - absolutely beggars belief!

When I was twelve-years-old, I may not have been able to ride a horse but I could easily have drawn a map from memory of every racecourse in Britain, complete with starting posts and fences. Trained jockeys are now lining up without having a clue how long the race is (I don't believe that he/she could have lost count of the number of laps they did).

Just a thought; I also nearly threw the towel in 9 years or so ago as I couldn’t master manual trading. I decided to try automation ( then excel) and never looked back. It surpassed my wildest expectations, truly
However if Korratt decides to give it a try, there is still an amount of emotion involved , but to a lesser extent. Some days (Boxing Day) are fantastic, some days (today, for example) hardly a bet fired in. Patience is a great attribute to have.
Worth a look ?
