lucky im not a commission agent !!!

going by this mornings effort on the mh main account bet , pretty pathetic effort on my part to back the selection advised but apart from not snaffling the 11/2 on offer from betfred not much i could do in all honesty , this was what happened . mh had an early call back @ 11am , on it he advised 2pts ew(£300 ew) on starbougg in the 1.00 newc , he said 13/2 & 6/1 was freely available but for proofing services it would be advised at the 2nd show . i know from experience that 9/10 it is best to bag a price for at least half my wager , i was in a ladbrokes shop , asked for a price .......... none were available , so galloped over to hills ............the same no prices yet , so i ran to betfred up the road , wheezing away i asked for a price 11/2 from 13/2 was the reply , i should have taken a little but i thought id wait to the others priced up , sweating and red faced from my exercise exertions i got on the tube to wood green , by the time i got to my usual internet cafe most of the firms had priced up it was about 11.15 am and the best price was 9/2 !!!! and the betfair price was 5.6/5.8 this was not my greatest hour ................. as it turned out the p/l difference in the end was negligble .

today was the start of the more user friendly isiris system , a couple of points , i have been asked whether i shall now be backing the new super insiders , yes i will , with there now being 3/4 insiders a week i shall be backing all the selections where possible .
i rang at 1pm , and received the message from last night so no bet for today , i rang back @ 1.05 just to make sure ! i feel it would be better to have a change of message from isiris , all it has to be is , confirm no betting activuity from isiris .
this afternoon i had a couple of emails also suggesting this , so anychance kevin ?

thursday

MARK HOLDER

1.00 newc starbougg £300 ew @ 9/2 2nd -£30

opened up 4/1 .......... went to 7/2, at this stage i still had nothing on , my mood at this point was less than happy , thankfully support came in for a few others and the selection started to drift , and i placed 3 x £100 ew bets @ sp .

OPTIMUM RACING

4.00 newc general hardi £150 ew @ 8/1 3rd +£90

PERSONAL TRADING

again the message from optimum was beneficial , focusing on the 3.20 strat andrew was keen on o'toole with the danger being waterspray , they finished in that order , i profited from place laying scribano eile £250 @ 1.80 , this never looked like being a loser as he was never jumping or travelling , so a profit of £240.
