The Sports Trader has had a reasonable day and it was good to see the Ayr meeting go ahead as planned along with Leicester and Lingfield. I managed to trade in 11 races and 1 football match with just one losing trade.
My race trading started in the 14:20 at Leicester where I backed Durante for £200 @ 1.75 before laying off @ 1.66. Later I backed Lenny for £155 @ 1.10 when well clear of the field but with two fences to jump and I laid him for £145 @ 1.03 and £10 @ 1.04 to result in a profit of £11.
In the 14:30 at Ayr I backed Baron Monty for £74 @ 1.32 before laying off @ 1.30. With a furlong to go I backed him again for £165 @ 1.25 to leave me with a profit of £42. I followed this up with two small winning trades.
My only loss of the day was in the 15:10 at Lingfield where I laid Art Modern for £9 @ 8.80 when not looking to be travelling too well but I got it totally wrong and he went on to win leaving me with a loss of £68. Next was another small winning trade.
My best result of the day was in the 15:35 at Ayr. I did nothing until the last furlong when Inch High was well in the lead and running on well. There was a lot of liquidity in this race and I was able to back Inch High for £2993 @ 1.04 to land a profit of £120 on the race. I followed this up with 3 more small winning trades.
My last racing trade of the day was in the 17:20 at Ayr where I laid No Shenanigans for £50 @ 8.00 when weakening at the second last fence to result in a profit of £50.
My race trading for the day had resulted in a profit of £171.
Tonight's televised football match was the Championship game between Birmingham and Derby. I had several other things to do tonight so I just had the odd few small trades on the under 2.5 goal market. I started pre kick off with a back for £12 @ 1.72 and with 14 minutes on the clock I backed a further £20 @ 1.57. I laid all off @ 1.44. I had to leave my computer at this point for twenty minutes and when I got back the score was 1 - 0. I backed a further £30 @ 1.56 and laid this off @ 1.38 to result in a profit of £11.
I also had a small trade on the correct score line of 1 - 0 for £30 @ 1.30 and laid this off @ 1.22 to give me a profit of £2.
That was the end of my trading day which had resulted in a total profit of £185.
There is another new blog started by Gareth. He calls his blog Small Time Sports Trader but looking at his trading over the last few day's it looks like he will have to change his name as his results are definitely not small time. Good Luck Gareth I hope your trading and blog go well.
