Hi, well what started off as a good week ended with a few disappointments and I made a small loss as a result. My Headline today "Fall Down Seven Times - Stand Up Eight!" is a Japanese proverb which I think of when I lose a bit as it reminds me to 'never give up'.

Progress seems a bit slow at the moment but when I see those Bank and Building Society adverts offering a 'Fantastic 3.4% interest per annum' I know I am doing the right thing with my sporting investments.

Yesterday FIRST IN THE QUEUE was my winner in my Stop At A Winner bet as he was the favourite at the time I put my bet on, alternatively CLOUDY SPIRIT in the 3.10 won at 11/4. But then SAM LORD won at 16/1 beating my selections CATCH BOB and LIGHTENING ROD and BALLEYVESEY could only finish 4th in my Place bet, talk about rotten luck!

Today I am covering the first five races at FFOS LAS backing the favourites as we go and stopping when I hit a winner. I have to have modest stakes here because I am betting in proportion to my bank and my stakes will be (based on projected SP's), £3, £6, £7, £10, & £20 for a total risk of 3.87%

And according to the RacingPost the 2.00 at Newton Abbot should be between Number 1 ALLA SVELTA and Number 11 GLASSAWINE and I have staked £28 and £22 respectively for a total risk of 4.21% on this race. It is currently 12/1 bar those two in this eleven runner race so barring another SAM LORD type upset I should collect, hopefully.
