DVWooly Diary - trading horses pre race

[dvwooly]

i allows back first these days, you get more leverage on your money. I will check the horses tonight and see if my straegy is suited to them.

[dvwooly]

returned to the market this week with a new mental approach, it just seems like something has clicked.

Greyhound Racing: £71.49 | Horse Racing: £138.88 Total P&L: £210.37

Doing pre raced ok and think i have found a nice way to get 4 or 5 ticks out of the big dogs markets.

I did a little in running with pics .... had +1100 on a horse that went down to 1.1 but got nailed on the line ... i came out for £9 profit after it twitched from 8 to 32 so i took the cash when it came back into profit .... didnt have the nerve or ability to work out if it was going to win.

I have planned to use 2013 as the time when i take this a bot more serious, i have set up a blog so i can talk to myself and I have set up some very realistic daily targets.

Im off work week beginning 17th December so will trade that whole week and hope to make say £50 a day or £250 from the 5 days

[dvwooly]

i will be concentrating on pre race .... using a £70 stake i hope to make £3.50 per race but i will be using 25% bank stake

in running just use £20 a bet

[WhyAlwaysMe]

a bot more serious

Was that a Freudian slit or is this bot powering you to success?

[redman]

Where can I find your blog?

[dvwooly]

I havent started posting in the blog since i set it up, will start when im off from 17th December as i will be trading all day.

I'll post up the link when i start posting

[dvwooly]

I have my method sprted for the trading for next week, i canmake around £2 a race using a £20 stake but more excitingly i have found what seems like a profitable straight backing method which is showing excellent early results.... might have to give up on the trading if the last 4 days are anything to go by!

Will post up todays results after the last race tonight (this is the first day live)

[dvwooly]

here it is .......... £5 stakes. Started off doing it with my bot on Betdaq but it was playing up so i just went and stuck them all on the betfair SP. the second last winner was 8.6 on the screen at the off and i got 7.5 at SP!!!!!!

first no. is the race p&l and the second is the accumulated profit or loss total ... 63.41 profit or 12.6 points profit to BFSP.

12pts profit on the day!! I know a few pro's who'd be more than happy to get that 12pt profit over a month, this time next year Rodney

[dvwooly]

i know it is early daysand freak results can occur but i got +21 points on wednesday, +10 on thursday and +0.1 on friday to go with that 12 points on saturday ....

always nice to get off to a good start so the inevitable losing day is easier to stomach!!

First bet of the day, Dusky bob in this next one if you are interested.

Most systems have a bad habit of losing when people post their bets pre race, might be best not to tempt fate

[Jimmymac]

What part of your strategy involves trading as opposed to straight forward gambling ?

[zrg]

is your method backing favorites that aren't odds on ?
