The Sports Trader has had a busy day with 16 horse races, 2 football matches and 1 golf tournament traded.
I started with a small winning trade in the 13:50 at Navan. Next was my best trade of the day where, in the 14:15 at Gowran Park, I backed Artic Cry for £458 @ 1.50 in the final few yards of the race to result in a profit of £229. I then had 11 small winning trades.
My next trade was in the 16:25 at Navan where I laid Monas Run for £12 @ 50.00 when well out of contention to net me a £12 profit.
In the 16:30 at Market Rasen I laid Kjetil for £15 @ 14.00 to result in a profit of £15. I then followed this up with my last trade of the day which resulted in a small profit.
My race trading had finished with a profit of £292.
In the evening I had a few trades on the Recreativo v Real Madrid football match. I had started trading the under 2.5 goals, with the score sitting at 0 - 2, with a back for £185 @ 2.39 and laid off @ 2.22. The third goal came and I had a small trade on the under 3.5 goals market with a back of the unders for £54 @ 1.98 before laying off £56 @ 1.72 which left me with a £2 profit. With the score at 2 -2 and in the last minute of the 90 I decided to back the draw for £106 @ 1.17 and got caught with a goal to cost me £106.
Later I backed the under 2.5 goals in the Atletico Madrid v Barcelona match for £50 @ 1.71 which I laid off @ 1.60. A while later with the game quite dull I backed the unders for £615 @ 1.51 which I then laid off @ 1.45. The first goal came and I backed the unders for £143 @ 1.84. I had put up a lay @ 1.72, but just as this lay was next in line to be taken a second goal came and closely followed by a third so I was another £143 down which was starting to spoil an otherwise good day.
By now I was feeling a little mad with myself so I decided to watch the Stephen Fry drama on BBC1 called Kingdom. After this I turned my attention to the AT & T Classic Golf Tournament and decided to start with a back on Zach Johnson for £200 @ 2.10. I had a total of 40 trades on this tournament and I only started watching when the leader were on their last 3 holes. I had a big red figure on Ryuji Imada going into the play off hole so had to work at it trying to reduce this potential disaster and finally I managed to get an all green position which resulted in a profit of £187.
So my day had finished quite well after looking not too good for a while and I eventually ended with a profit of £232.
This has been another good week with a profit of £1291.
