i love this game !!!!

when everything falls into place or very nearly does so , each day i start with two sheets of paper , one with my own ideas and the other is divided into sections designated to the subscription services with account bets and possible trading/betting strategies and as i make each call bets and comments are noted down , once all this info is down , i take five/ten mins to organise it in a timetable of races and i just take some time out to make sure i have a clear idea and strategy ahead of the days racing , somedays i may have too much information and thats where i try to cherry pick the best bets in my mind for the coming day and today was such a day , i had 4 horses of my own to back and optimum mentioned 5 races plus an account bet , now there is no way i will be having 10 bets so i have to be selective , my horses were 4.30 chester noisy silence , 5.25 sandown sugar ray , 6.10 sals mccartney and 6.40 sals bright mind . bright mind is automatically scratched on the price as is a 2/5 fav , noisy silence is the next one to go as i think 10f even round chester will stretch its stamina and i think the track wil be too tight lastly im no great lover of betting at the course so this one bites the dust , its down to sugar ray and mccartney and these two i both expected to win the only drawback would be the price as a minimum i wanted 7/4 both of them , but during the day both were trading around evens-11/10 . this strategy worked well for sugar ray the 11/10 fav who was disappointing to my eyes finishing 2nd under a very strong ryan moore ride so it was down to mccartney , i would under different ground conditions be willing to take a shorter price on this one as he has shown a liking for some cut but i thought he would cope with the quicker ground and had my fingers crossed that the ground concern would cause a drift in the ring , on his previous impressive victory he drifted on the exchanges so i was hopeful that my price would be attained , as it happened it was , touching 2/1 i believe , mccartney won got a good ride and maybe was a fortunate winner as the runner up perhaps did not , but they both look decent horses , but mccartney defintely prefers cut in the ground and only just got away with it today .

PERSONAL TRADING

well i have already explained my personal bet on mccartney i had £250 @ 2.79 and my only other activity was in the hamilton 2.30 i had looked at this race in he morning on my bike down the gym ! and came to the conclusion that the fav artsu may be vulnerable on ground concerns , but i thought no more of it until i listened to the optimum message and andrew was of the same opinion so i had this one down as a lay and layed £200 @ 2.52 the analysis was spot on and artsu was out of the frame , andrew gave a positive for ramanti and this was backed for £60 @ 4.67 to give me a nice profit of just over £400 on the race , the 4 other races mentioned were dismissed as 2 of the mentions were at chester a course i like to avoid unless im positive the horse has a good draw and the speed to utilise it and the other 2 were at sals and as i was by the start of the meeting £400 up with a poss bet on mccartney to come i held back as i wanted to guarantee a profit on the day , this was achieved with the johnston horse winning a profit of £828.15 personally on the day .
