Today's Horse Racing

[Derek27]

Now that will keep me in beer for the week (the scalping part) - just as well I stopped before I fell down the slide.

I have a poor day today, got caught out on a reverse spike in the 14:20, waited for it to revert back to where I thought it would & it didn’t, went sour from there.

I've really enjoyed today, there have been some very lively markets

[Derek27]

Better than the last two days.

That was a strange one for sure. The markets seem very erratic, especially close to the off, these days. That was driven down to 6's and seemed to have steady support then it was almost as if the nod was given and went right back out to 13.

looks like the markets are getting more and more appealing for a straight betting strategy

I'll give the NH season a miss and concentrate on trading but I'm really tempted to get back into punting for the flat season next year, just so many opportunities. I thought trading was safer but I'm beginning to wonder, how can you lose punting with sub 60% overrounds?

How can you lose punting with sub 60% overrounds?

The problem is: how do you time your bets? How do you know when the price has reached high enough to be value?

[Derek27]

If you're a punter and study the racing the night before you will have decided what price you think each horse is worth.

When I was betting I often backed a 5/1 winner only to look at the graph and see it 12/1!

If I was betting now I think I'd be more inclined to price up the entire race and be prepared to back any or every horse in the race at a pre-determined price, rather than focusing on 2 or 3 that I think may represent value. Let's face it, with Betfair graphs as they are, almost every horse represents value at some stage.

I'm not moaning - I'm excited.

I found it harder to read today, but Bangor and Worcester are right at the bottom of my list of favourite courses. So not a massive shock.
