The Sports Trader got the week off to a profitable start even after two bad results early on in the day. I traded on 9 UK horse races, 1 tennis match and 1 football match.
My first 2 trades both resulted in small profits and then came my 2 losing results. The first was in the 14:05 at Galway where I laid Rinroe for £6 @ 3.50 to result in a loss of £16.
The worst result of my day was in the 14:35 at Galway. I had put up an early lay on Royal Paradise at 12.00 and by the time I decided I should cancel £15 had been matched which resulted in me losing £165.
Fifteen minutes later, in the 14:50 at Leicester, I had the best result of my day as I backed New Guinea for £4 @ 2.40 which I laid off @ 2.03 and then with the horse in control of the race I backed a further £420 @ 1.77 to result in a profit of £274. I followed this with 4 more small but profitable trades.
My horse race trading had resulted in a profit of £99.
In the early evening I caught the final few games of the Mathieu v Ancic tennis match in Paris and just had 1 trade backing Ancic for £50 @ 1.10 to result in a £5 profit.
After this I watched the Cyrstal Palace v Watford football match and traded on the under 2.5 goals market. I started with a back of the unders for £290 @ 1.90, I then laid off £250 @ 1.77 and £40 @ 1.85 then had one further lay to green up my position for £25 @ 1.36. This resulted in a profit of £26. In the final few minutes of the match I backed the under 3.5 goals market for £180 @ 1.07, £44 @ 1.03 and £96 @ 1.02 to produce a profit of £16.
My day had finished with a profit of £145.
