a nightmare arbing scenario .............

for me in the 3.05 york , backed always fruitful £200 ew @ 12/1 had layed it back 11.75/2.96 win & place and was quite happy until potential disaster struck , there was a n/r reducing the field to 7 and my bookmaker bets were now 1/4 odds 1-2 but my betfair lays were still the original 3 places ! the reduction with the n/r gave me a potential loss of £344 if the horse were to finish 3rd . this is not the first time this has happened and personally i can see no solution , you know the risks as an arber with moving markets and the n/r situation , i decided to do nothing and hope , luckily on this ocassion i came out unscathed as the horse was first beaten and trailed in last .

wednesday

ISIRIS

HORSE A £250 ew @ 3/1 unpld -£500

PERSONAL TRADING

i lost £18 on the arbing opportunity described above , the other arbing trade was pauntley gofa in the 3.55 hereford i was only allowed £15 ew @ 14/1 so i decided to keep it , supported down to 7/1 at the off but ran a flat race , so a loss of £48 on the day .
rather excited as off to reading tomorrow to watch our bitch gregorys girl in a puppy open , not expecting to win but hope the experience of another track will bring her on .
