Any advice for the Punchestown markets?
I am finding them harder to scalp than everyday markets
I personally would never scalp any Irish market. Even the big ones. Just too volatile...
Every rule has an exception :roll: 19:15 Punch. But I agree and don't even try to scalp them.

Could have been a weekday PB if I didn't mess up at Punchestown.
Markets were great today plenty of betting money going through. There were a few occasions when the fill rate went mental and you could just throw money at the market and it would get taken instantly. If the markets stay similar to this through the summer then its gonna be hard to have any days off

Hey Dragon,

I think your trading really well.

Its clear your trying to perfect every angle and I think your aim to keep improving is admirable.

I have seen many of your p &ls now and there all very consistent. Unless your aware of an error that could be changed try and view your losses as noise.

Your trading really well and the last thing you want is do is try and perfect something so much you change your edge and lose one.

I got to a 70/80% strike rate within 6 months of trading and I used to get so hacked off by noise thinking I can improve my strike rate even more. What a waste of time the following next 2 months were!

I don't really know what or where you are with your trading and what youve been through but you seem very consistent and if your results are like this all the time, rather then trying to perfect it even more. Work on possible trying to get more money through?

Work on utilising your time rather then trying to improve something. If it makes you feel better I lost £85 on the same 4.50 race and you did better then me today.. yet I am really happy with how i traded today...

Well done mate. Keep it up.

That depends on how much importance you put on money. Wealth is no measure of success or contentment. It's easy to get swept along with the competitive 'greed is good' mentality most people have. There's nothing wrong with making hay while the sun shines though if it means having the winter off in the sun somewhere :)

Atty Persse looks quite underpriced below 3

The gamble on African Blessing looks like a trier today. Think it will trade really low if it doesnt win. Which I think it might.

Expected some sort of reversal when Monarchs Glen seemed settled at the start

I can imagine him saying it now :lol:

He's like the Aussie Jim McGrath that used to commontate at Ascot occasionally and would always say "and off to a good start too" even if they came out 10 lengths apart :lol:
