31/01/2008 by ramps.
A 14/1 shot finishes second. Several dutches go astray with the selections just failling to meet their trade out values. Lucky with my lays to reduce the damage. A nice winner from Brimardon. A very hectic and varied day at work to say the least.
For good measure I upgraded my scalp finder as well. It now includes the current exchanges laying values with the volume of money available. This will save a lot of time and avoid chasing scalps that aren’t there. I will be adding some weighing for bookies as well. We all know you can get more money on with the bigger bookmakers albeit there are less concession available. It will take some time to come up with the right interface for this. All the same I am pleased I set myself a coding target last night and I hit the back of the net. I had less than 2 hours to do the work as I can only do this work when there is racing as this makes the testing ‘real’.
As a result though I am still waiting for my results parser to finish so I don’t have the Wilkinson profit calculated. Looks like I will be posting a daily loss of around the £200 mark. Today looks like its going to a busy day so all to play for will I get back to 11k mark or drop below the 10k mark. Either way as the gambler says I any profit is good profit.
Remember before you bet today consider is this an investment? If the answer is no then buy yourself a beer instead. If the answer is yes then good luck with your investment.
Profit for the day: £30.19
Profit for the month: £10434.36
