It was a struggle for the Sports Trader today due to a couple of hefty losses early in the day but I did recover the situation in the evening. I traded on 14 UK horse races, 1 rugby match, 2 football matches and 2 darts matches.
My day started with a small winning trade. In the 12:45 at Punchestown I backed Never Compromise for £214 @ 1.33 to result in a profit of £71.
Then came the 12:55 at Cheltenham where I had laid Kia Kaha for £14 @ 3.75 and then went to lay again for £36 @ 3.80 when the odds changed just as I hit the submit button and I ended up laying @ 5.90. This cost me £214. I followed up with a small winning trade.
In the 13:45 at Wetherby I laid Charming Fellow for £50 @ 3.50 before backing back £48 @ 3.70 and then I managed to lay Super Road Train for £56 @ 4.00 to cost me another £167. I followed this with 2 more small winning trades.
My day then started to get better with the 14:35 Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham where I had laid Granit Jack for £37 @ 4.50 for a profit of £37. Next was a small winning trade.
In the 15:10 at Cheltenham I backed Sonnyanjoe for £80 @ 2.25 before laying all off @ 1.80 and then backed him for a further 16 @ 1.50 to result in a profit of £44.
My next trade was again at Cheltenham where I backed Sir Rembrant for £50 @ 2.00 to result in a £50 profit.
In the 15:50 at Uttoxeter I backed Phoudamour for £50 @ 1.60 before laying all off @ 1.15 to result in a profit of £23. My final race trade resulted in a small loss.
My race trading had produced a loss of £154.
In the early evening I traded the final few minutes of the rugby match between Harlequins and Cardiff and managed to back the draw for £500 @ 1.33 to give me a profit of £165.
I watched the Scotland v Italy football match and traded on the under 2.5 goals and by the time the third goal was scored I was all green with a £25 profit on the overs, all be it a score of unders would have given me £50. I also backed the under 3.5 goals for £68 @ 1.04 to give me another £3 on the match.
Later I watched the end of the all important Israel v Russia football match and backed the under 3.5 goals for £300 @ 1.10 before laying off £245 @ 1.04 to return a profit of £20.
In the evenings darts matches I backed Adrian Lewis against Dennis Priestley for £120 @ 1.14 to result in a profit of £17. I then traded the Colin Lloyd v Ronnie Baxter match and produced another profit of £24.
Well that was the end of a real grind of a day where I turned around heavy early losses to a profit of £100.
