Well the Sports Trader has not had a great day but at least I didn't lose money. I have had a very quite day with only 5 horse races and 1 football match traded.
My day started with a small winning trade in the 14:05 at Punchestown. My next trade was in the 16:15 at Southwell where I had laid Hiccups for £5 @ 27.00 to cost me £130. Not a great start.
In the 16:35 at Wolverhampton I laid Hurlingham for £220 @ 3.50 and put up a back @ 5.00. Only £15 got matched before I cancelled as he could not make up ground on the eventual winner, Prince Sabaah, to leave me with a profit of £205.
My next trade was another small winning one and my last race trade was in the 18:20 at Towcester where I messed up what was looking like a reasonable day by backing Wenger for £116 @ 1.50 to result in a loss of £116.
My race trading had finished with a loss of £31.
I couldn't decide which of tonight's live football matches to trade and in the end I watched the first half of the Man. U match with no trading. I then watched the second half of the Scottish Cup Semi-Final between Dunfermline and Hibernian. With the value already gone on my favoured market of the under 2.5 goals so I traded on the match result. I started with a back of the draw for £253 @ 1.74 before laying off £175 @ 1.70, £65 @ 1.68 and £13 @ 1.65. Next I backed the draw again for £50 @ 1.54 and laid this off @ 1.50. I then greened up my position with a lay of £25 @ 1.38. Soon after Dunfermline were awarded a penalty which they converted into a goal. I then backed Dunfermline for £220 @ 1.14 and laid off £120 @ 1.11 and £75 @ 1.05 to leave me with a profit of £39 on the match.
My day had finished with a profit of just £8.
good to see you back,ray.

Still interested in your views on any value to be had in the snooker or if you are even interested in it.
Cheers

Hi Dub Goat,
I will trade a little on snooker if there are no races or darts matches on at the same time. As far as The Rocket goes I would say he is the most likely to win but he can be so unpredictable so you need to watch him closely. If he starts to lose interest you have to bail out fast as he can self destruct. Good Luck.
