Day 2

Bit naughty really as thew aways some bigger greens in running but at least wasnt a loss after work. Might extend it to a bit of dogs and US nags if i get bored enough later.

[Caan Berry]

Had a steady grind on the dogs and a few us nags (its really tireing with such a small bank)....

got this email during trading...

Voided/Lapsed Bets

Couldnt work it out so give em a call..... apparently they let a greyhounds market run while the race was on without suspending it. So all bets were voided after the start time, but i didnt place one bet after the start time yet my 32 bets were canceled..... was only for small change but really pissed me off particularly with the BF employees attitude on the phone.

Anyway, had some crazy clicking in the race after as it got under my skin so im calling it quits for the night.

Hopefully ill catch a few of the kempton races when im in from work tomorrow, pretty depressing the amount of races to trade with the weather and all.

[Keefter]

yup - nicely summed up, it is very depressing having to rely on grehounds and US racing, You get pretty sick of battling against bots after a while, especially in teh mutts markets. I've found in recent weeks that the best markets for dogs are the ones after 7pm, the overall liquidity tend sto be less but i find it easier to get matched somehow.

[Caan Berry]

Yeah i notice this took keefter... after 8.30 though it seems to die out and its pretty much just bots, usually i chin it off after a few as its a right grind :/

[Caan Berry]

Pfffft.... finished early today... thought winner, got home to see just an AW card, absolutely dier...




Its really killing me trying to put such a small amount through in such un liquid markets, hats off to keefter.
Inplay today the results dont tell the whole story by a long shot.. in the 4.30 i had £53 unhedged on Russian ice after a nice spike i caught in the market, had it sat @ 1.48 and didnt see the need to move it as he looked like the clear winner on the run in to me..... lowest price matched was 1.51 (what a kick in the nuts) followed by the race after i was too slow to get a hedge out (only for £15) utter utter frustration.

Feels like im wasting pre race opportunities with such a small bank so im gonna chin the challenge off before i do something stupid and go back to normal, it dosent suit me this week as in running my results are massively different on the longer races over fences so i will do another challenge before the geeks date but ill have a re-think as when, maybe a sunday challenge or something as theirs always lots of them type races then.

:Thumbs

[Caan Berry]

think its what you call sods law after sacking it off lol.. happy to have a few extra quid to play with in these choppy markets untill saturday anyway



was obviously in the right frame of mood for it after work, pitty only caught a few....

[layallday]

What did you do in the 17:40 Wolverhampton race ?

[Caan Berry]

Backed the potential winner with tick offset @ 10 ticks (£25 stake) twice and got the hedge out pretty low..... worth mentioning although i operate with the tick offset at 10 the timing is important, chances are the lay got matched far lower than the 10 ticks asked for with the 2 second delay.... glad i got the hedge out and didnt let it run on as it come second, its my prefered way of trading although if the timings not right you'll loose your stake (hence day 1 of the challenge) It's far easier in a race over a bit more distance, i find the short races harder as theirs less time to form an opinion prior to the 'dog-fight' lol
