Well I am following my rule of not trading the Horse Racing on a Bank Holiday Monday. I find there are too many mediocre meetings and any issue that causes a delay can totally scupper the day.

I am going to watch the Championship Play Off game.

Good luck if you trade today.

Is it just me or did betfair freeze for a few seconds there at suspension during the first?

It halted for me as well, but I though it was just me so I reboot and haven't seen anything since.

I'll be on the horses this afternoon as while there is a lot of dross on, one or two races usual throw up some quality opportuntites. This and the later summer bank holiday are much better than the others.

I quite like these busy bank holidays, might not be ideal but it makes an interesting challenge having a different race to grapple with every 5 minutes

Very quiet start so far for me. Best I have managed is just £20 at the moment.

Some of them are a bit laughable. I just made a whole 50p on the last :lol:

I'm more or less tracking last year at the moment. Races are not very punctual today though which is starting to impact things.

Well I have been very lucky! I was just messing about with an IR strategy and somehow managed to win £73 on one race. I have no idea what happened in the race as I wasn't watching. I set the orders into the market and then went to grab a cuppa. I came back to see a mix of small red amounts and a lot of big green amounts. Thankfully one of the bigger greens was against the winner :D

Thought you was watching the football!
Reading might be worth having a small speculative bet at the moment being 3-0 down..still another 45 mins yet??

Yep I have put in a small lay on Swansea - Reading nearly pulled one back before the break. A goal or two for Reading will make for a nice trade.

A last a really decent race at the Zetland gold cup! Somebody tried to hold up the favourite and I just kept on opposing it until it broke.

That'll do :)
Shame it wasn't a big lay of Swansea but I'm not going to complain!
Have traded out now so will just enjoy the rest of what is a cracking game.
