Saturday 25th November 2006

I'm a little late reporting tonight as I have had my first night out since the separation from my wife nearly eight weeks ago. My best mate Graeme form Aberdeen came to see me and we have been out for a few beers, we have also just been talking to another good pal Hamish via skype who happens to be in Australia at the moment. It's 7:00 in the morning for him and he is playing online poker. Anyway back to todays effort. I traded in 19 races today and my first decent gain was in the 12:45 at Towcester where I backed Principe Azzurro around half distance @ 3.55 for £54 then within a furlong had layed off @ 2.75, I then went in and backed again @ 1.92 and 1.35, I also had a small covering bet on Flintoff, to leave a profit of £111 on the race. In the 13:05 at Newbury I managed to trade a profit of £27 by backing Opera Mundi @ 2.25 and laying off @ 1.80. My next was the 13:35 at Newbury where, all in the last furlong, I backed Saintsare for £200 @ 1.50 and layed off instantly @ 1.24 to net a profit of £52. I had a few other small trades before the 14:50 at Towcester where I had my biggest mistake of the day where I managed to back Levallois for £133 @ 1.65 when looking to be in control only to be passed in the final stages before I could lay off. In the 15:00 at Newcastle I backed Neptune Collonges for £121 @ 1.50 in the final two furlongs and didn't see the need to lay off as the horse was well in control of the race. Next in the 15:15 at Newbury where I backed Gallant Approach for £13 @ 3.65 and again for £377 @ 1.50, with a small lay to net me £199. I then went on to the next at Newbury the 15:45 where I backed Alfsoun for £50 @ 2.00 about 2 furlongs out to give me a profit of £50.

I finished the day early because of my visitor so none of the Kempton or Wolverhampton races and no football tonight either. The one very significant thing that happened today was that in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup Betadaq matched £2.80M against Betfair at just £1.93M so liquidity is going very well at Betdaq. As I said earlier my day finished early but I still managed a very respectable £415 profit.

Hi John, unfortunately i am not. It's just that everybody seems to knock Betdaq and I just like to redress the balance. I am proof that you can make a good living on Betdaq.
