The Sports Trader had a good day with 11 UK horse races, 1 football match and 1 snooker match.

My day started off the same as yesterday with a losing trade. This was in the 14:30 at Brighton where I had laid Maxwil for £97 @ 1.57 to cost me £55. My next 3 trades all resulted in small profits.

In the 15:35 at Brighton I had my only other losing trade of the day when I laid Transcend for £75 @ 4.20 to cost me £184. I followed this with a small profitable trade.

Things got a whole lot better in the 15:55 at Ludlow where I had laid Sayago for £500 @ 2.00 before backing back £200 @ 3.25 and £40 @ 3.30. Later I partially greened up with a back for £30 @ 3.25. This left me with a profit of £231. My next 4 trades all resulted in small profits.

My race trading had finished with a profit of £17.

Later I traded the Tottenham v Getafe football match. I had several trades on the under 2.5 goals market which had got me into a position of a potential profit of £70 on the unders and £14 profit on the overs when the third goal was scored. I also backed the Getafe for the match result in the final few minutes for £400 @ 1.10 to result in a profit of £40. In the final 10 minutes I backed the under 3.5 goals for £80 @ 1.43 which I laid off soon after @ 1.28 to give me another £12 profit.

After the football I watched the Steve Davis V Stephen Hendry snooker match. I backed Hendry for £221 @ 1.60 and laid this off @ 1.21 to give me a profit of £85.

My day had finished with a profit of £173.

I have recently become aware of the RonBot Radio on the ManOfMystery blog. I have listened into the show a few times and find it very entertaining.  I will be talking with the site owner, John Preddy,  live on his radio show tomorrow at around 12:45 and will be talking about the way I trade and why I use Betdaq so if you have the time please drop by and listen in. If you have any questions for me just drop an email to John on his site.

Hi Ray,

I've just had time to catch up on your blog and I just want to say I hope you are feeling better - I feel bad that I didn't say something sooner :-(

Good luck also with the MOM phone in this afternoon.

All the best,

Mark

Hi BF Trader,

Thanks for your comment. I am fully recovered but will just have to watch the stress levels. I see you have had a brilliant run since your wedding, this married life must be suiting you well.

Good Luck.
