It's not been too bad today although once again there have been some crazy moves! I am 100% profitable on all attempts thus far...famous last words!

I took an early position on Flying Applause as the drift looked likely. I was already in profit when RUK started to show it starting the race early :shock: I made my best "potential" profit of the day but they withdrew it. I had to start again and thankfully I caught some moves on the favourite and made some profit in the end.

How is everyone else getting on?

Finding it pretty slow here. Small steady profits and only one loss of just £1.96. Hopefully will pick up later for me.

Smashed Khor Sheed there when it wasn't keen to load and got a nice 3 figures from it so the day looks much better now :)

The first 4 markets were terrible for me, I lost quite a bit on 3 of them, but have clawed it back over the last few, to be evens at the moment.

So far seems like a steady day... the big backer seems to be having some time out, which is neither good nor bad, just wish he was more consistent (as I'm sure we all would), as building larger lay positions comes with much more added risk...

I'm doing ok, got one really good result but pretty dull elsewhere.

I was finding it ok, bit slow but nice and steady then the last 2 races I've lost all my profit (~£100) so we shall see.

Thursday is my worst day for some reason.

I was having a great day and then boom got spanked on the last and gave a very large chunk of my profit back!

I was flying and then as soon as I opened my big mouth about a 100% success rate I lost two on the trot :?

I then caught a great trade by laying Above Standard at 1.82 added to the trade at 1.90 and then held my nerve until 2.06 at which point I traded out a very happy chap :mrgreen:

I should've backed it back again from 2.06 to 1.80 but I think that is pushing it too much!

Well I've just had a some luck (possibly the first time ever?) after losing all my profit I tried too hard as usual on the next race, I had a £100 red on the race which ended up in a dead heat, I managed to lay the other horse at 1.01 for about £180 before the decision so only ended up losing £10 :)

Made £40 on the last so back in profit, just need to keep it that way now.

Back end of the card has been miserable for me. Win one, lose one, net zero.

Likewise, hopefully will pick up again.

I've made next to nothing all day, just a small green so far. :roll:

The volumes this evening are very poor. I made a note against last year. It just says 'Wimbledon?'
