Is the dream over well it could be in under a week.  8 out of last 10 maximum bets have lost and apart from 1 racing system and 2 football systems the main accounts systems are all under performing.  The next result is that I have less that 25% of my bank left.   What a complete turn around.  This time last week I was thinking the account was recovering and I was confident of posting a profit for March.    The bank is in the dangerzone and now I need a massive amount of luck to survive.   I always knew this could be a risk with having so many systems but  I did not do enough homework on this.  If I had I would realise that most of the systems tend to have bad spells at the same time.    On the flip side if the account does surivive it could recovery very very quickly.   

Anyway it the weekend and there are lots of other great things to enjoy in life.  Maybe I just spend the rest of the year on my trading software and save a few penny to have a real crack with the software next year.

Judy kindly woke me up at 4am this morning and needed an urgent walk.  Lovely.  She is lying on my chair so I have to be careful how I move.   

As for the gambling well you can probably guess it did not go well yesterday.  In fact if it had not been for my in running trade out positions it would have been the worse day of the year.  It was still bad though and continue the sequence.  To be honest I think the writing is on the wall.   I don’t have the bank to survive all systems misfiring.   I need a bit of luck and I need some to stabilise and a copule of the bit hitters to have a huge April.  Unlikely but that is what I need.

It is amazing how quickly this change at the beginning of the week I thought I had a good chance of posting a profit for March.  Since then 2 maximum bets have lost and a couple of big price lays has won and the account has nosedived.

It is very unnerving as systems that normally have strike ratio’s in the 80% zone are are down below 60%.  In fact every system I am using is at least 10% of  its normal strike ratio.   I will continue to work hard on the trading whilst I pray for a return to form of these systems.
