sure. It was only because of the higher class of the race/market I left it open. Up at those odds though when you are a trader and are 200-500 stakes. When a big order comes in and moves the market 4-5 ticks against you the psychology of the larger liability starts to make you a bit more jittery. In the bigger markets just because you can't see the resistance on the ladder it doesn't mean its not necessarily there. Sure, I rolled the dice a little on this one but it was based on decent principles!

Fair enough, you did your research and rolled the dice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME0CSktAeTM&sns=em
Light banter!

When I was putting the big back stakes on last year trading pre-race, I found that the price was routinely pushed up to 15 ticks or more against me, only to crash all the way back down again soon after. Funny that this never (or rarely) seems to happen when I use small stakes, only when I put on the big stakes. Why is that? Betangel, please explain :twisted:

For all its disadvantages, there's something to said for punting, because you can avoid all that nonsense. And you get a quick result. No long hours needed.

Case in point: My selection for the Gold Cup was a non-runner, so I switched the bet to a back punt on 'Remote' later on the day. It romped in... a big quick payout for 10 seconds work :D

Some good moves there on the fav in the 16:25... Really didn't do myself any justice there... Typically Internet had a momentary hiccup... But I'm sure a few of you totally cleaned up..!

I picked up £96 but I'm more used to picking up several hundred at least. Difficult to read today.

Managed a tad bit more... But an awful lot of trades scratched, far more than I would normally expect...

I've just been placing lots of money on either side of the market from 6-20 ticks out so if a move does occur at least I can be at the front of the queue. Yesterday was dire for getting matched!

Given up today, seems like some one is waiting for me to open a position and then bang of the markets go in the wrong direction :roll:

My internet connection went off just after i'd placed entered a trade...it came back on after the race had finished showing an unsightly red number. It set the tone for the day!
