Well normal service was resumed today and I ended the day just over my daily target at £201, having said that I am still a little disappointed as I lost over £250 on some very close finishes. It was Red Scally that done for me in the 13:50 @ Hexham  and I layed Trinity Rose in the 2:30 @ Southwell around a mile out when it appeared to be travelling very badly but Greg Fairly somehow managed to  waken up his mount to get it to the front around 3 furlongs out and this coincided with my telephone needing to be answered so I was unable to ltrade out. I made £100 on the Holland/ England match on the unders market. I only saw the second half and started betting the unders at around 1.55 with 55 mins on the clock and got out within 10 minutes at around 1.24, I then went back in after the equalising goal at 1.20 and traded off at 1.04 around 4/5 minutes later. After everything I have said about only trading this is the one market that I am normally happy to bet on. I like to think I specialise on the unders market. I tend to have a bet on unders before the kickoff then gradually trade my way back out in the first 20/30 mins. If I get caught with a goal before I am out, I tend to go back in, as soon as the goal is scored when often prices are artificially high and trade back out. This is the one market where over time you tend to know exactly what the price should be at any given time and score. I will often use this market even if a high scoring match is expected as if you can get say 2.40 before the match, the price will fall very fast and as long as no goals are scored in the first 10 mins you will make a decent return.
