I just traded too close to the off and got burnt, had to take a bad position in play, £350 down form the first ascot race! :cry:

More sticky than normal here hgodden. I routed via Malta if that matters.

Rhys, take a deep breath and don't go on tilt.
Plenty of time left to get that back and more if you stay relaxed about it :)

My connection seemed to get a bit stick on the last Warwick race. I have to say the markets are totally bonkers at time and the price can run away so fast it is scary :shock:

The non Ascot markets are weak and even what appears to be someone closing a position is changing things. I've gone to close because £1000 appears but it gets matched shortly afterwards and the profit is doubled...sometimes trebled. It's hairy ride though and sometimes I have to breathe deeply and convince myself I have read it correctly.

No horrendous losses so far so let's see how this Gold Cup works out. I cannot back Fame and Glory at this price so a small each way interest on Manighar will be fine. I want to watch this race having already traded it for a profit. BTW I backed Fame and Glory early at 3.50 because I knew the money would come for it.

Cheers SilentDave,

There is no chance of me getting that back though, I'm only using a 1k bank at the moment, I guess I'll just try and chip away at it, I had only made about £400 for the week so far and I've pretty much lost it all now.

That market was a bit wild for me. Didn't do a great job but got my best result so far today.

It seems to be quiet on both exchanges. I haven't made much on Betdaq today.

Looks like my problems were caused by my PC, I rebooted and its fine now. The damn thing even started installing updates when I turned it off, doesnt it know its Ascot!

Anyone see the crazy guy lay Duncan for 6.5k at 11s in play? Just left it there for ages, when it took the lead I bet he was bricking it!

I didn't see that but I could see that Duncan was never really travelling. I think the ground was against him. I made a nice profit trading the race but my each way bet on Manighar went astray. It was only a small interest so a profit overall.

It highlights just how poor the racing is when you have a favourite at 1.45 in a handicap 16:45 Warwick :shock:

'Brown Panther' could be an excellent In-Play prospect in the last. Has a tendency to get far back in the running before roaring home, has some class and likes a bit of rain.
