Thursday 5th April 2007

The Sports Trader has had a reasonable day with 9 horse races and 2 darts matches traded and no losing trades.

I began with 4 small winning trades. My first trade of any note was in the 16:50 at Wincanton where I laid Spinning Coin for £24 @ 6.40 before backing back £8 @ 18.00 to leave me with a profit of £16.

In the 17:05 at Clonmel I backed Councillor Jack for £145 @ 4.50 before laying off ££146 @ 3.80 and £10 @ 3.20 to leave me with a profit of £10. I followed this up with a small winning trade.

The best trade of my day was next in the 17:35 at Clonmel where I laid Lord Alfred for £110 @ 4.00 before backing back £10 @ 6.00 to result in a profit of £100. I followed up with my last trade which resulted in a small profit.

My race trading had finished with a profit of £157.

I had quite a few things to do with the children in the early evening so I missed quite a lot of the darts, but I did trade in the Manley v Van Barneveld match which resulted in a very small profit.

My last trade of the day was in the Lloyd v Lewis match where I started with a back of Lloyd for £144 @ 2.95 before laying off @ 2.79. Later I backed him again for £138 @ 1.96 and laid this off @ 1.83. Then just as Lewis was throwing to win his 7th leg I laid Lloyd for £24 @ 35.00 to result in a profit of £25.

My day had finished with a profit of £183.

With no racing tomorrow I think I will take my three youngest children to the Blair Drummond Safari Park. I will probably make a day of it but will be back sometime after 6:30 so if there is anything worth trading I may have a little dabble otherwise I see it being a blank day trading wise.

I hope you all enjoy a day off, I am already looking forward to the weekend trading.
