I had a really good day today and it could have been a lot better if I hadn't made a mistake in the 15:20 @ Ascot where I managed to lay the eventual winner, Harris Bay, to the tune of £523. My day started with me backing Minella Tipperary in the 12:35 @ Exeter for £440 @ 1.25 just inside the final furlong with no fences left to jump and this was only possible because the commentator seemed to think the horse was under pressure from the runner-up, but from what I could see my horse had already won. In the 13:00 @ Ascot I backed King of Angels for £125 @ evens again with the help of the commentary. The best part of my day was the 13:35 @ Ascot where I layed Swing Bill for £700 whilst just in front and going towards the final fence, I only had to sweat for a few seconds as it weakened quickly and eventually finished 4th. In the 14:35 @ Kelso I backed Silver Jack for £182 @ evens and laid off within about 15 seconds at 1.50 to net myself another £90, I could have held out but I thought I had probably already used up all my luck for today so I just greened up. Of course my luck was to run out less than an hour later as detailed earlier on this thread.
I finished the day off in style with 87 mins on the clock of the Cardiff/ QPR match this evening. Immediately after QPR had scored I managed to back QPR to the tune of £1465 @ 1.20 when I thought the true price should have been more like 1.08. I did lay off just over £500 @ 1.1 within seconds and let the rest ride as QPR seemed to be well in control. Have you ever noticed just how slow the clock ticks when you are willing the ref to blow up for the end of the match?
So I have had a great Friday where I ended with a profit of £745 after commission and only had to pay commission on the football due to the 0% commission offer from Betdaq on in-running horse markets.
