03/02/2008 by ramps.
I had a relatively heavy night out on Friday. I knew I had to leave the house at 2pm for another event on Saturday, it was always going to be a day where time was very precious and therefore caution was the watch word. This is how I played it.
Doncaster 1.25 I had already backed Tidal Bay with both Wilkinson and one of my other systems at 1.5. When leslingtaylor drifted out to 5/1. I decided that backing this each way and with the free faller concession really was value. I was confident I would be able to trade out at worse. A nice profit was locked in when Tidal Bay made the first mistake and second mistake for me was a disappointment as the perfect result would have been for Tidal Bay to have won. A nice profit all the same.
Brimardon had one betting race and one lay. The lay unfortunately, was price and position in the market related and was at 3pm. I would be on the train at this point so had to rely on my mobile. As it turned out it was a very close call but I decided to play cautiously and did not lay it. It got well stuffed. I am not bothered though as this is an important skill required in laying. You won’t always get it right but it better to miss a 9/2 lay a few times than get caught laying a horse that wins.
Silverburn won nicely for backing side of things and it was just a shame about the 2 non runners which meant what could have be a massive profit day was only a good profit day. The important thing is the strike ratio is being maintained with the new software and therefore confidence is high about February.
Wilkinson weighed in with 300 plus day as well which again shows how consistent it is. In fact I am placing a lot less bets with Wilkinson now that I have refined the software and the profits seem to be maintaining. Further improvements to come but with a softly softly approach. Bear in mind this system has been running only 5 months and has turned £10 in over £10000. I am confident it will continue to work but I am aware some systems work for over 2 years and then fail badly.
Profit the day: £1319.55
Profit for the month: £1568.06
