january can not end soon enough ..............

the figures dont lie and this has been my worst month ever p/l wise , ok my stakes are at their highest ever but no hiding behind a £5k deficit lets hope feb brings a turnaround , today produced a small loss of £60.79 .

PERSONAL TRADING

my efforts really just centred around the first at ludlow where i strongly fancied the mccoy ridden scotland yard i was reliably informed it was well regarded by the yard and expected to step up on a promising last effort and that there would be money for it , so i backed the horse heavily ew @ 9/4 and layed it back on betfair @ 3.0 and 1.26 in the respective markets giving me a £100 ew @ 4/1 (win) and 7/4 (place) as the horse went off a well supported 15/8 chance , but ap went off like a scalded cat , im no jockey and he is the greatest but i thought he went off too quick , yes in hindsight i should have produced a all green book but i couldn,t for the life of me see it out the first three ................... how wrong you can be as it faded to finish 4th , i clawed a small sum back arbing the isiris winner to produce a loss of £160.79 on the day .

cum p/l +£103.15

THE30KCHALLENGE .............................. -£5223.47

Hi DD.

Keep up your blog mate, im sure it will all turn around soon, out of interest your stakes seem very high for Optimum racing compared to isiris?

Good luck

yes they are ,£150/point with optimum i increased from £100/point at the turn of the year which was very successful maybe i was being greedy but increased them and so far it hasn,t been a bed of roses !!!!!! , if i increased my isiris stakes i couldn,t get the advertised prices i struggle as it is regards DD.
