The Sports Trader had a day to forget after producing a loss after 15 consecutive winning days. I traded on 10 UK horse races and 1 football match.
My day got off to the bad start in the 13:40 at Lingfield as I had laid Malibu Girl for £28 @ 9.00 after making a very poor start to the race and left outpaced and in the rear of the field. She started to make headway with 2 furlongs to go but I still didn't see the need to trade out of my position. Finally she ran on well in the final furlong to win by nearly two lengths and to cost me £224. I followed this up with a small but profitable trade.
In the 15:00 at Bath I laid Dunn'o for £34 @ 6.00 to result in a profit of £34. I followed this with 4 more small winning trades.
My second and final losing trade came in the 18:20 at Kempton where I laid Blue Zenith for £83 @ 3.00. Again I called this wrong and it ended up costing me £167.
In the 19:50, also at Kempton, I laid Musical Script for £50 @ 2.90 to result in a £50 profit.
The last race trade of my day was in the 20:50 at Kempton where I backed Garafena for £24 @ 2.08 to result in a profit of £26.
My race trading had resulted in a loss of £267.
In the evening I traded on the Besiktas v Liverpool Champions League football match. I had started by backing the under 2.5 goals market for £50 @ 2.35, with one goal already scored. I laid this off @ 2.22. Later I backed the unders again for £748 @ 1.69 and laid off £56 @ 1.67 and £500 @ 1.57. I laid the rest of my liability @ 1.60 and this left me with a potential profit of £85 on the unders. I then partially greened up with a lay of £25 @ 1.44. With a couple more goals being scored I finished the game with a profit of £25. In the final minutes of the game I backed Besiktas to win for £175 @ 1.06 and a further £64 @ 1.05 to give me a profit of £14.
My day had finished with a disappointing loss of £229.
