The Sports Trader finished the week off with some mediocre trading. But on the bright side I really enjoyed my little slot on the WUBT RonBot Radio Station and look forward to talking to John again.
Friday 26th October 2007 - I only traded on 8 UK horse races and 1 football match. I had 2 losing results on the day, 1 of which was just £6 but the other in the 16:40 at Fakenham I lost £260 by laying Lik Wood Power for £50 @ 6.20 when making a mistake after leading the race. It's unusual for a horse to lose the lead and then make a mistake and still get up to win so I stand by the trade, it's the type of thing that will happen from time to time. I did trade the under 2.5 goals market on the Eintract Frankfurt v Hannover 96 football match which helped to recover some of my earlier losses but the day still finished with a loss of £185.
Saturday 27th October 2007 - As mentioned earlier this was the day that I spoke to John on his radio show and I wish I had spent a few more minutes on the radio as in the first race of the day, the 13:10 at Aintree, I backed John Dillon for £364 @ 1.68 whilst leading and travelling well but just before he blundered and was soon headed, giving me little chance to trade out of the position. This cost me £358. I traded on 25 Uk horse races but still ended the day with a loss of £250.
Sunday 28th October 2007 - At last a decent day of trading to finish the week off. I traded 16 UK horse races and 3 football matches with just 1 losing trade all day. My football trading was particularly good with all three matches showing good results to leave me with a profit of £230 on the day.
Well this has been a difficult week for the Sports Trader and one where I have to report a small loss of £51 for the week. Next week will be better!
