The Sports Trader had another very quiet day on the trading front as I had other things to do for much of the afternoon. I only traded on 1 horse race, 1 football match and 1 cricket match.

My horse race trade was in the 14:15 at Chepstow where I backed Down The Brick for £100 @ 1.30 to result in a profit of £30.

In the evening I managed to catch the last 20 minutes of the 2nd leg European Qualifying football match between FK Zeta and Rangers. The score was 0 - 1 by the time I got to the match and I just made a few backs of the under 2.5 goals @ 1.24 for £57, 1.17 for £23 and 1.05 for £8. I did put up lays to cover my liability but cancelled them when it became apparent that another two would not be scored. So I ended the match with a profit of £18.

Later in the evening I watched the Derbyshire v Leicestershire cricket match, and what a match it was. I had started by backing Leicestershire for £444 @ 1.90 when it looked like they were in control of the match. Soon after a few quick wickets and it looked like a disaster for me. I held on and eventually traded out with a very small profit after Leicestershire went on to win off the second last ball of their innings.

My day had finished with a profit of £48.

Hi Ray,

Great stuff on this blog as usual.

For what it's worth, I really enjoyed your little interview with Russ about trading on the under 2.5 marketr.

Is there some kind of email address that I can reach you at?

I've got a little proposal that I think you'd be really interested in, but I can't find a way to get hold of you. :)

Take care now Ray,

- Josh.

Hi Ray,

I did try clicking that link (before I made the original comment), but I can't get it to open. I have problems with Microsoft Outlook and that could be the problem...

If you want to avoid psoting your email on here for spam purposes, you could contact me at clotmyster[at]hotmail[dot]com and I'll then respond to that. :-/

Keep up the good work.

Take care now Ray,

- Josh.
