Sunday 21st January 2007 Update

I traded in 13 races on Sunday with only one a losing trade. My first was in the 13:20 at Wolverhampton where I backed Picador for £20 @ 1.50 whilst in the lead and with about a furlong to go to give me a winning start to the day and a profit of £10.

I then had two small but profitable trades before the 14:10 at Towcester where I had 8 trades on Milton Des Bieffes to net me a profit of £12. I then had another small profitable trade. In the 14:30 at Fairyhouse I started with a back on Alexander Taipan for £60 @ 1.60 and laid off at 1.45. A little latter when it appeared he had the race in the bag I backed him again for £291 @ 1.45 and laid off £75 @ 1.30 and a further £10 @ 1.05 to leave me with a profit of £117. Next was another small but profitable trade.

My next race was the 14:50 at Wolverhampton, and here I backed Apache Fort for £69 @ 2.82 before laying it all off at 1.13. I also laid Pharaoh Prince for 32 @ 4.00 to give me a profit on the race of £118.

I then had a further small but profitable race. Next was my only losing trade in the 15:20 at Cork where I had backed Larkwing for £16 @ 2.88 when just taking the lead only to see him overtaken just before the line to cost me £16.

In the 15:30 at Fairyhouse I laid Walk Over for £32 @ 20.00 when looking well beaten I then went to back him for £10 @ 28.00 only to find that the odds had changed just before I hit the submit button and I had taken the 10's on offer. It didn't matter as the horse came in 9th and I had made a profit of £22. I had two more small but profitable trades to end my racing day with a profit of £273.

I watched a little Spanish football  and had a very small trade on the Barcelona v Gimnastic match in injury time where I backed the 3-0 correct score for £15 @ 1.10 just before the final whistle went to give me a very small profit. So I ended the day with a total profit of £275. and this finished off a week that had started pretty bad but ended well to give me a weeks profit of £1254.

Hi Humble, It's a case of back to basics and it does work. I know I can rely on my horse trading to make money. The football was an add on to try to make for a longer trading day with more profits. But it was affecting my quality of life because it was taking up too much time and I found it a lot more stressfull. Good Luck.

I like the sound of that Ray " I know I can rely on my horse trading to make money" its something i want to be saying myself in the next 12 months.am finding ATR extra a bit of an advantage only managed a few hours trading this week due to family commitments.our baby is 4 weeks old now and all she does is eat sleep and Sh*te lol.things should settle down soon so i will have more time to trade.

Hi Ray
I am the opposite of you, I make money 100%, well maybe 99% on football and can't make the horses pay :-(.....well as they say different horses for different courses ;-)
Another good weekly result, I wouldn't give up totally on football as there is a lot of value inrunning....its just getting used to the long term view and having confidence in your assessment.

Hi Rob,
I will keep taking a look at the football, but the results over the past few weeks have really been going against me so I think I am right to just take stock for a while. Good Luck
