not the greatest end to the week ...............

slight understatement ! a loss of £1300 on the day that took the week into a deficit, a loss of £453.70 on the week , it was the isiris main account which was the main culprit , but i can live with that , over time that will produce profits but sadly not this week , the max main account bet was out of the frame and todays guineas bet were the lowlights but nice to see the insiders produce some decent profits , optimum remain out of form and out of that little bit of luck that all of us require and as for MH his selective approach continues to reap dividends playing when there is a edge to be had either via a vulnerable favourite / short priced runner or when the odds are favourable like a 16 runner hcap, i enjoyed taking a more active role trading wise and a tiny profit on the week was recorded , the full figures are as follows;
ISIRIS
main account -£1440
insiders +£ 630
-----------
overall -£ 810
MARK HOLDER +£ 860
OPTIMUM RACING -£ 600
PERSONAL TRADING +£ 96.30

weekly p/l -£ 453.70

during the week i have analyzed possible returns exchanges versus traditional bookmakers , well during the week my p/l figure would have been worse off by £20.36 if i had used exchanges , the isiris winner advised @ 3/1 drifted to a sp of 5/1 , 6.8 on the exchanges , up until this point the exchanges had been considerably worse off .

saturday

PERSONAL TRADING

i try to keep trading to a minimum on a saturday as usually there is a house full and saturday i like to potter about in the garden in the afternoon listening to the football on five live , this is what i did after watching the guineas , MH mentioned the 3.20 uttox and he put two up one was a isiris selection so i had a £25 ew @ 46/6.8 on festive chimes , this was unsuccessful as was my only other bet £25 ew harrys lane 30/4.3 in the 6.55 worces so a small deficit of £100 on the day.
p/l +£4590.53

THE30KCHALLENGE .................... +£8409

good morning Dirk over the last week your blog seems to have been used by some to replace the tra la la threads with a number of irate incrisees posting their disgruntlement interesting that although this service is by no means performing- i am slightly down on the year and i get most of the prices-they are not in the same boat as optimum yet hardly one poster has commented on them this to me seems to indicate two things-firstly the large member base of incrisis and secondly members aversion to KBs style of looking at results through rosy spectacles-on another topic one of last weeks wining bets was advised at 3/1 and spd at 5/1-That "wonderful" firm B365 are going best odds guarenteed on all races at present so im trying to use them as much as poss at the moment i know the big problem is "you can only have £3.65 on"-however lateley ive been able to get £50ew on the net ok ive never really hammered this lot but i did use to find myself restricted on the phones a year or so ago -so maybe they are becoming more accomadating-best of luck

hi drever , yes i was going to rename the blog at one stage this week to the "lets slag off isiris blog" yes it has been a disappointing last 5 or so months overall , treading water and the bonanza day a few weeks ago im at football ........ sods law ! BUT take the 10 years as a whole and they have proved most profitable. yes kevin will always invite criticism over his reporting methods and sometimes arrogant behaviour , well thats kb , you realise in time to take his messages with a pinch of salt and not to take them too seriously . as for bet365 i noticed the offer and tried to place bets via the phone n net , the net i was offered the price but to LOSE a max of £25 on the phone i was allowed £10 ew or £10 win , anyway lets hope for a upward swing in p/l , all the best DD.

No-one picked up on the sunday message??Quotes a loss figure of £700 on the main a/c bets for the week when in fact it should be £900.£200 on the hunter chase bet on sunday,£200 on the split stake bet on tueday,£300 on the max bet and £200 on the guineas bet...Total Loss £900 and an actual loss of £528 on the week and not the £328 he quoted.And you wonder why people moan about him !!

Hi Guys

Just to build on your £3.65 thread ... I know that about 3 years ago it was pretty easy to fill ur boots with these guys... then like a few other firms they rained in dramatically as they realised they were predominately accommodating arbers rather than straightforward punters ( & losing money) .. & in doing so creating greater liquidity on the exchanges. Prior to that ... turnover was "King" as the second tier bookmakers fought for share of the growing internet market (Blue sq, Bet direct etc)

I think they are now loosening the purse strings but are on the lookout for any arbers etc .. which explains why its is easier to now get your 50's & 80's each way etc ... if all of a sudden you went to £400's etc they would mark you as an arber & restrict you

DD .. you wil probably need a new account with them as yours is probably like a few of mine were ... resticted when you asked for anything over £3.65.

Interesting observations about the weight of debate about your 3 services ... what does that tell us about MH? ... perhaps that most Brits like nothing other than a big moan ... you rarely see good news in the media ... maybe thats why few comment about how good MH is... a few max bet flat winners from KB & your blog wil be comment free

All the best

The reason people complain about Isiris is because they are members of the service - most of the people reading this blog OBVIOUSLY have an interest in Isiris. To call them moaners is being a bit unfair. It will take more than a couple of maximum bets to turn it around. All you need to do is listen to tonight's message about treating half of the 1000 guineas bet as a place winner to see how clutching at straws he is. The reason people don't comment on Optimum is (I believe) because he has hardly any members.
