The Sports Trader has had a really good day today to make up for the slow start this week. I traded on 10 horse races and 1 football match and had no losing trades.
My day got underway in the 13:30 at Newmarket where I made a small profit. The best result of my day came next in the 14:00 July Stakes at Newmarket where I backed Winker Watson for £300 @ 2.00 to result in a profit of £300.
Winker Watson just holding off River Proud to win the July Stakes.
In the 14:20 at Warwick I laid Benhavis for £110 @ 9.20 to give me another £110 profit. I followed this with two more small winning trades.
In the 16:55 at Newmarket I backed Moorhouse Lad for £1000 @ slightly over 1.02 to result in a profit of £25. Next was another small winning trade.
In the 20:20 at Folkestone I backed Beau Michael for £55 @ 1.51 to result in a profit of £28. The last 2 race trades of my day both resulted in small profits.
I therefore finished my race trading with a profit of £482.
After racing I watched the remaining 30 minutes of the St.Patrick's v Tottenham football match. with the score at 0 - 1 in the 65th minute I backed the under 2.5 goals for £333 @ 1.63. I then started to gradually lay off my liability, starting with £103 @ 1.52 and followed with further lays @ 1.43 for £30, 1.40 for £30, 1.34 for £108 and 1.30 for £25. This left me with a profit of £87.
My day had finished with a profit of £569.
I would like to thank everybody for their comments left on my blog regarding the slow loading of my pages. I spent a couple of hours this morning playing around with some of the sites content and am pleased to see that it appears to be loading much quicker now. Apparently some of the widgets that I had been using where conflicting with each other, which meant that often the loading process would stall completely.
hi,
did you say that you backed a horse at £1000to win £25?

Hi Jack,
Yes, I do on occassions place a trade like this one but only if the horse has virtually no chance of losing. This is just one aspect of my trading.
