Sunday 10th June 2007

Well it has been a long time coming, but today the Sports Trader had a brilliant result and all down to some solid trading and then one well timed click of the mouse. I traded on 13 horse races and 1 football match with no losing trades.

My day started in the 14:30 at Stratford where I managed a small winning trade. In the 14:50 at Perth I backed Yankee Holiday for £30 @ 3.50 and laid all off at £3.00 to result in a profit of £15. My next 3 trades were all small winning ones.

In the 15:50 at Perth I laid Trading Trouble for £21 @ 50.00 when well out of contention to give me a profit of £21. Next was another small winning trade.

In the 16:00 at Stratford I backed Silver Hay, when clear of the field and over the final hurdle, for £168 @ 1.15 and £250 @ 1.01.

My next trade was in the 16:30 at Stratford where I laid Armariver for £55 @ 2.90 and backed back £25 @ 5.20. I then laid for £13 @ 4.00 and back back £3 @ 5.00 to result in a profit of £40.

In the 16:40 at Bath I laid Top Trees for £52 @ 6.00 for another decent £52 profit. Next was a small winning trade.

My best trade of the day came next in the 17:25 at Roscommon where liquidity was very good on the favourite Taipan's Way. As is normal for me in this situation I was watching the favourite very closely and had a lay already keyed in so I only had to hit the submit button if the right opportunity came along. This was a flat NH race but Taipan's Way was well back in the field  with the horses all well packed up in front when suddenly you could see that the he had clipped heels with another horse and it took the commentator quite some time to realise which horse had unseated it's rider. Long before the commentator had reported I had hit my submit button and got matched for £2484 of the £4000 I had laid @ 2.50. So I had landed my best result in a while, which was needed as my results have not been good for a few weeks.

My next trade was my last race trade and it was in the 17:45 at Cork where I laid Deal Or No Deal for £10 @ 6.20 for a £10 profit.

My race trading had finished with a profit of £2681.

After racing I watched the second half of the U21 football match between Portugal and Belgium. I backed the draw in the 86th minute, with the score at 0 - 0, for £20 @ 1.27 and then two minutes later another £50 @ 1.19 to result in a profit of £15.

My day had finished with a profit of £2696.

That was the end of another week and one where I have made a profit of £3604.

Hi Ray,

Congratulations on your win. I do not play on the exchanges, but I have to say that I noticed that Taipans Way had gone too, the commentator did not seem to notice until 2 furlongs later.

Be sure to check out my blog.

Thanks,
Adam
