a frustrating day .................

when you consider no outright winners were backed , but 3 of the bets traded well odds on in running , but thats racing !! its swings and roundabouts though as seamus durack did well to pick HORSE O off the floor , the horse battled on for third but a day of near misses i would say .

PERSONAL TRADING

a quiet day but i was keen to oppose shingle street in the 4.25 font , mh gave this as a negative and my first port of call was the exchanges but @ 6.6/6.8 i resisted as i try to set a limit of 5/1 on anything i lay , i scanned the match bets on the spreads hoping for a ingres/shingle street match bet but these were not quoted so i went to the place market i layed £75 @ 2.42 , shingle street was bustled along early doors and never looked happy i believe he trailed in last so a small profit of £72.18 on the day .
p/l +£4494.23

THE30KCHALLENGE ................... +£10,537.70

How long have you followed Optimum? I havent been very impressed with their bets. Losing is one thing but the picks dont seem very shrewd to me. You would be half way to the target without them. Having posted this they will probably have a dream run now!

hi there , i cant deny that optimum are going thru a poor patch its all to see in the figs , but lets put it into perspective its a loss of 25 pts and i fully expect this to be reversed before the years out , andrew who runs the service was previously with mh advising the chase bets on the line he was extremely profitable during his 2 year stint , if i had started my blog say last october you would have been very impressed , imay of course be wrong but i fully expect this service to show a decent profit by the turn of the year , regards DD.

hi DD I have been thinking exactly the same as Guesser about the TYPE of horse Optimum has been putting out. Hope for your sake were both wrong. Hope also for your sake that MH continues to perform as ive joined today on your say so. Kevin has agreed to loan out his heavies to me to come and find you if Mark flags!!!!!! PS Hope you got that forward message Ok yesterday. jeanius

good luck jeanius , as the financial institions quote ........ the prices of your investment can go down aswell as up !!! the one thing i can guarantee that with mh you will be playing with the odds in your favour if you follow him to his instructions and hopefully this will bare fruit in the way of p/l , be lucky DD
