The Sports Trader has had a hectic day today, mainly due to loads of visitors coming round in the aftermath of Jennifer's birthday party. I've had a really good time seeing all of my children together. I did get some trading done but it has been limited to just 10 horse races and 2 football matches.
My first trade was in the 14:20 at Newton Abbot where I backed Pepporoni Pete for £34 @ 2.45 and laid off at 2.10 for £30 and £4 @ 2.01 to result in a profit of £12.
My next trade was in the 15:10 at Hexham where I laid Open de L'Isle for £40 @ 8.60 before backing back £5 @ 15.00, £9 @ 25.00 and £1 @ 84 to leave me with a profit of £25. I followed this with 5 small, profitable trades.
My only loss on the day came next in the 17:05 at Limerick. I had backed Judge Roy Bean for £50 @ 3.00 and put up a lay at 2.76 but only got matched for £20 to leave me with a loss of £30.
In the 17:10 at Hexham I started with a back of Supreme Builder for £40 @ 1.85 and laid off @ 1.69. I then had further backs for £500 @ 1.05 and £184 @ 1.02 in the final furlong when well in the lead to result in a profit of £35.
My last race trade of the day was in the 17:35 at Limerick and here I laid Dead Sound for £167 @ 4.80 before backing back £100 @ 7.40 to result in a profit of £67.
My race trading had finished with a profit of £115.
As soon as racing had finished I took a look at the final few minutes of the Tottenham v Reading football match. I looked for a decent value trade and decided to lay the draw for £100 @ 33.00 whilst only just over a minute of injury time was left to play. I quickly put up backs to cover my liability and got matched for £20 @ 78.00 and £7 @ 100.00, before cancelling the rest of my lay, to result in a profit of £73.
Later I watched the end of the Celta Vigo v Real Madrid match and again traded in the final seconds of the match. This time I backed Real for £200 @ 1.08 to result in a profit of £16.
I did some trading at the end of the Shell Houston Open Golf Tournament which resulted in a profit but the result didn't get finalised until past 12:00 midnight so that will come in to next weeks trading result.
My trading day had therefore finished with a profit of £204.
After what I have considered to be a particularly difficult and slow week for trading, with many interruptions due to my domestic situation, I have still managed to turn a reasonable result, all be it my lowest profit for 9 weeks, of £1010.
Well done for your excellent month and another solid week. I am glad you had a good family weekend and hope everything goes well on that front going forward. After a very slow start to my week (and foolishly getting involved with Greyhounds again) I finished with a good weekend and up £535. March was by far my best month but pretty draining. For example Saturday started at 6:00am with Aussie Racing and finished at 11pm with the Spanish football. I am taking a few days off over Easter to enjoy the family and recharge my batteries ready to attack Aintree.
Have a good week
