trying to be too clever ?????

as a rule when all my services steer clear of the racing its a good time to do anything but have a bet , i found out the hard way today that i should have switched the laptop off and watched some mothers do av em , the royle family or even the sound of bloody music !!!!!

PERSONAL TRADING

well mh indicated that if we had the dead eight in the 12.40 ayr he would have been interested in pertemps networks as an ew bet around the 4/1 - 9/2 level but a withdrawal of a rag reduced the field to seven and ruined the ew terms , betfair were still paying out on the 3rd place though and i put up an order to have £150 @ 1.80 in the place market , if this were to be matched id have £150 on in the win market . well the £150 was matched in the place market and i had £150 @ 5.85 in the win market , for a second at 2 out i felt that i would recoup most of the bet but he only stayed on one pace to finish 4th and ouch a £300 loss . in the last at folkestone mh was not sure the fav would get home under the testing conditions , he made avant gardiste a tentative preference , so as long as 16 ran i would have £50 ew on the pipe runner , 16 ran three ships seemed to empty out quite tamely but sadly for me avant gardiste raced mid division throughout the whole race . so a £400 loss on the day , yes im gutted as i type this , but i feel the judgement was sound , it was just one of those days , lets hope tomorrow is the first winning day of the new year !
i have opposed the draws in the two inplay tests , this is a favoured trade for me , and both positions look good , although showers are forecast around sydney over the next few days .
