Cheers Marc. My high in-play bets did not trigger this time but jumped on at lower odds when it was obvious what was going to happen. Well done.

zapata..
how did he do ? i wasnt trading today just home now.see he was fourth but wondering did he come with the usuall help up late run ?

[Zapata]

Very poor is the best I can say. Did not pick up at all.

[jimrobo]

and THATS why we don't punt!

[Zapata]

I layed it, with the intention of getting out the instant the horse picked up.

JIMROBO are you trying to say that punting is more dangerous than taking on all the pro traders. LOL

[jimrobo]

yes

[Zapata]

I would rather put my trust in the horse, and have been for many years, usually with a lot of success.

[jimrobo]

congrats it seems you are more intelligent than the market.

[Zapata]

The markets are often way out, forced out of line by traders who often know nothing about horses or the way they are likely to run. If you can spot the value it is easy to make a profit with considerably smaller stakes than are needed to trade. Combined with a tiny overround on BF and all the on-line racing information available, it is easy to avoid taking on the lurking wolves.

[jimrobo]

sure its easy! Thats why everyone who punts is profitable! well, thats what they say anyway!

Couldnt the same be said about trading?

[jimrobo]

that lots of people say they are profitable but they aren't really? sure its possible. I'm not sure they would hang around so long though if they are in the red over the long term.
