Sunday 19th November 2006

I had a good day today with only four losing trades which in total only amounted to £27. My first significant gain today was in the 13:10 @ Towcester where I Layed Wee Anthony for £60 @ 3.00, this was a case of fastest finger and computer first as I layed when I saw J W Farrelly unseated. In the very next race, the 13:15 @ Punchestown I backed Blueberry Boy for £112 @ 1.66 just as the second last fence was jumped. He hadn't been jumping that well but appeared to have plenty of stamina left and he duly went on to win by 2+ lengths. In the 13:30 @ Aintree I layed Hakim for £50 @ 4.00 again as he fell at the eighth fence. The best race of the day for me was the 14:45 @ Towcester where I Layed Posh Act four times to the tune of £215 at prices from 1.40 to 2.21, this horse was taking a very keen hold in the rear of the field early on and  when Barry Fenton let the brake off he set sail to lead but very quickly had to be ridden hard to keep going, then started to weaken before falling at the second last fence. I had a few other trades for small amounts in the last few races.

I then turned my attention to the Blackburn V Spurs match, whilst also making the dinner for my kids so instead of my usual style of trading on the unders market I went in heavier than normal and took a quick profit. This netted me £38 on this match, which considering the very little time spent on it, was a good result. Later, after getting the twins to bed at 7:00,  I  did some research on the Deportivo La Coruna V Celta Vigo match and could not see many goals being scored, although I thought the odds on offer at the start of around 1.58 too low, so I waited to nearly half time and backed the unders with 4 minutes left on the clock @ 1.17 then layed back soon after the restart @ 1.14. I then had another go after the Celta goal was scored in the 74th minute. In total this netted me another £31.

We are now exactly a third of the way through the English Premiership season and to date the stats look very interesting with 129 matches played, 63% of all games have ended at under 2.5 goals / match, with an average of only 2.16 goals / match, which is lower than usual. All these facts and more can be accessed via the SoccerSTATS website.

Well to finish I ended with a profit of £520 for the day which makes a total of £1688 for the week. In total my commission payable was less than £30 due to the brilliant  0% commission offered by Betdaq on in-running racing markets.
