pulled one back so to speak ..............

after 4 consecutive losing days this week thanks to the most impressive isiris insider winner , hope no subscribers missed the bet as i for one on other days may of cut short the message if i was snowed under , thankfully i wasn,t . the day didnt start too well, but on the back of a few comments from the mh line i was going into the last nearly a fiver up !!! thankfully i emerged after the race , well over a monkey up .

ISIRIS

HORSE A £250 @ 3.40 WON +£574.80

OPTIMUM RACING

2.00 leices l'oiseau £300 @ 3/1 unpld -£300

PERSONAL TRADING

made a profit of £304.84 on the day on the back of comments from mh , no account bet but still worth a listen , in the 1.30 leices he gave a negative to high seasons due to stamina doubts , i dont lay in the win market especially 7/1 shots but i layed £120 @ 2.74 in the place market after pulling early on he never looked like troubling the leaders . in the 2.40 winc mh at the prices he was keen to oppose the then (message @ noon) short priced fav prime contender , giving preferences to the ron hodges trained pair , master mahogany set the pace with compton star always travelling well i had £25 ew @ 12/1 & 7/1 respectively , this produced a profit of £190 on the race .
i dont get too involved in the betfair forums thesedays but the merits of mh have been discussed recently so i have offered my opinion , i admit as i have done many times during 2007 that it hasnt been a vintage year with him but we are in profit for the year . i do feel at times subscribers to these services has unrealistic ambitions with regard to the p/l from them , they dont have a magic wand it wont be winner after winner , there will be losing weeks , losing months . its a long term game , always remember that , dont try to run before you can walk , start off low on the stakes and build up gradually , set yourself targets once they are met move up a level viz a viz staking levels .

Interesting comments DD. As a fairly new subsriber to Mark Holder (end of September), I'm not unduly worried by the lack of winners. Looking at my results I am just about level now (first bet I had was Falcon Fire W 10/1). Would be well ahead with any luck at all - 10 placed horses at 8/1 and upwards pretty much tells the tale so far but I'm sure we'll get a few of them in the winners enclosure before long.
