Meade mania........Fingers crossed this ROAD TO RICHES goes off in front hard and stays!
Fill the boots or its the poor house for me!

Found the Gold Cup a nice scalping market on the fav.

Fav was constantly a tick higher on BD, the market did about £750,000 on BD calculated the BF way which was roughly 10% of BF.

Not the greatest result but respectable enough:

Decent result. Betdaq has been brilliant for scalping this year.

Such a shame they were on time, I'd budgeted for a delay so that cost me a fair big near the end.

[andyfuller]

Well done on your result Peter - was that in total or split accross BF and BD?

I agree BD has been good this week - a few duff markets for my style but happy with it over all. Would be good if they would release some stats on volumes.

Annoying that they were delayed all day and then made it up for the GC. Another few mins would have been nice.

Remarkably I got £92.55 on Betdaq

It should have been at least double that but I needed to exit on Betfair and let Betdaq go in-running without fully closing, so I just took what was there. I think I pushed a bit too hard on the CG thinking I had more time that I really did. Such is life!

That move on Top Notch was just after post time. I have a screen shot at t-17s and can see it.

That last race must have been good for you Andy, that delay helped a lot.

[andyfuller]

With these new starts I don't really know when they are going to let them go so I didn't touch it after the delay. Wouldn't want to get stuck with a position inplay on BD. Did a couple of trades when it was clear there was plenty of time but other than that I am too out of touch with how they do these starts.

I think the answer you are looking for is 'badly'

I've had a really good day today

Just made better by AP

Congratz Peter and everyone who had great results!

This was my first Chelt, not just as a newbie trader but also as a spectator (behind a computer)

All I can say is : One day I must be live at the races!

[Consty1]

Peter, I'd be interested to know the points you entered on that AP graph. That big spike somewhere around the middle of the graph would have potentially owned me I think.

[Euler]

Somewhere near the bottom I think, I'd have to check. But when something is heavily backed I instinctively look for signs that it isn't going to continue. Just got a much bigger bounce than I expected.

I've managed to collect stupendous amounts of data this week at Cheltenham. Looking forward to crunching through it. I think I may find a few new things in there with a bit of luck.
