A good start to the week for the Sports Trader with 5 horse races 1 cricket match and 1 football match traded.
Although I ended up with a good result my first trade was not great. It was in the 15:15 at Listowel where I had backed Tuscan Evening for £352 @ 2.06 and then put up a lay to cover my liability @ 1.77 but only got matched for £250 so I ended the race with a loss of £102. My next trade resulted in a small loss.
In the 15:50 at Musselburgh I backed Kings Point for £157 @ 2.10 to give me my best result of the day and a profit of £173.
In the 15:45 at Listowel I backed Paco Jack for £348 @ 2.20 before laying off @ 2.12. I then backed again for £46 @ 2.20 which I laid off @ 1.75 and finally I laid again for £38 @ 1.97 to result in a profit of £38.
My next and final race trade was also at Listowel, in the 17:15, and this time I backed Tomorrow's Dream for £116 @ 1.40 to give me a profit of £46.
My race trading had finished with a profit of £152.
Now I turned my attention to the Twenty20 cricket match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka where I had a total of 10 trades but the ones that mattered were when I backed Pakistan for £350 @ 1.59 which I laid off @ 1.39 within seconds and a further back of Pakistan for £604 @ 1.30 which was laid off again within seconds @ 1.15. Both these trades where as wickets were taken and they resulted in a profit of £154.
In the evening I traded on the Derby v Newcastle football match. I started with the under 2.5 goals market where I backed the unders for £540 @ 1.64 and laid off at an average of 1.52 to produce a profit of £57. With 6 minutes left I also backed under 1.5 goals for £37 @ 1.22 to secure another £8 profit.
My day had finished with a profit of £371.
