IF only ..................

special envoy jumped the last .................... cost me £5000 gutted but thats racing , gonna go for a walk then off to spurs , pi$$ed off !!!!

my stubborn streak nearly cost me ....................
on sunday isiris gave us 6 insiders , easter sunday i decided to let them run it saved me a few coppers ................. today 5 insiders after cursing i decided to do a multiple bet costing £125 after 3 losers i was neither happy or sad as i was doing my £125 but i suppose saving myself £400 on the insiders then BINGO 10/1 winner and 6/1 winner producing a profit of £1200 to advised stakes 10/1 ABC and 6/1 XYZ .....................

ISIRIS
insiders
2.00 aintree A 9/1
2.35 aintree B 4/1 these are the prices available that i took for
3.20 leices C 3/1 the multiple bet .
4.20 aintree D 10/1
4.30 leices E 6/1
10 x £5 doubles 10 x £2.50 ew trebles 5 x £2 ew fourfolds £2.50 ew accumulator

so after the 4.20 aintree i have £55 going onto XYZ BUT to the advised stakes i am really £600 adrift on the day ............. and pissed off ! if XYZ who was advised 1/2 pt (£100) @ 6/1 wins i should have won £1200 but i will only win £260 if XYZ loses i will lose £125 but should have collected £500 from the advice ............... im in a pickle to put it politely so i decide to have £150 @ 6/1 on XYZ , well i was fortunate XYZ held on by a fast diminishing neck to collect £900 and a profit of £1160 on the day .
i admit i got lucky , i used up the get out of jail card today ............... i have been at this game long enough having started in my dads betting shop at around 9 on grand national day !!! but i dont have all the answers if he gives out 4/5 insiders tomorrow i have not got a scooby what i,ll do !!

main account +£3953.35 insiders -£2398.10 overall +£1555.25

MARK HOLDER

a day when the bare figs do not tell the full story ....................
5.30 aintree burntoakboy £200 ew @ 8/1 unpld -£400
5.30 aintree special envoy £200 ew @ 20/1 -£400

p/l +£4526.32

OPTIMUM RACING

no bets advised p/l -£4005.60

PERSONAL TRADING

well it all centred on the last personally i liked the look of kicks for free and invested £100 ew @ 10/1 in the morning best the message of MH he was heavily backed and i could have arbed but i decided to stick to my guns and i laid laouen £50 @ 5.3 and acambo £20 @ 13.5 , a loss of £132.62 on a most eventful day ................
p/l +£3642.23

so a profit of £227.38 , it could have been over £5000+ or a loss of £1000+ ...............

THE30KCHALLENGE .................... +£5718.20

If anyone has a worse hard luck story from betting than I aint heard it ... whats more when it was trading at 38 before the off I topped up after a good day

Its difficult to explain why i didnt arb before the last hurdle .. I was kind of transfixed looking at the TV .. & anyway i think you would make less profit in the long run if you did when the horse is going that well.

Glad your acca eased the pain mate ... & well done MH on yet another superb piece of judgement

Be lucky (ier)

hi mini ,
i could not believe how relaxed and cool MH was last night on his image , just imagine what we wouldhave recieved from kb !!!! i nearly topped up just b4 the off but i wanted to back it ew and it was 5.9/6.2 and i wanted bigger so i left it , but i could understand where MH was coming from id still have preferred to have capsized at the first rather than the last went 6/8 lengths clear ,
cheers all the best greg.
