Watching the IR prices used to cost me a lot of money - if I had a lay in the race and it seemed to be going well (looking at prices) I would try to re-back/red up. ending up with the original lay losing but having a red book . Try not to watch via interface - every lay looks like its going in :-)

nice when they go 1000 though ;-)

shame about the last one, but ahead on the day so far :-)

yep thats the nature of the beast !! 2 steps forward 1.5 steps back ;-)

handy break in the schedule, so at least evening meal prepared now.....

yep i looked at it when the afternoon stuff finished and according to my notes it was 9.2/9.6, so i thought it was safe to leave till nearer off. Thought about plaice laying it, but that is tempting fate, so will just have to watch this one.

Not to worry mate - I think that quite a high % of my lays shorten nearer the off so waiting at late as possible isn't a bad strategy. You will miss the occasional lay as price will be too big but on the other hand you will make good savings on some of the real shorteners if they win and you will also make extra profit in takings - the shorter you lay!

My dad also lays my selections and did exactly the same as you and thought he would wait until nearer the off - instead of giving it a miss he layed IR and managed to get 7.6!! So its up to you really mate.

Not a bad read that wd steve ;)

pro do u think u have found the patience and discipline to see it out? reckon you could go a long way with this if u keep ur head

Morning Fox - yes. I have definitely stopped making stupid plays over the last few months. I have consistently layed/bet only my daily selections that I choose in the morning without betting on anything for the sake of it.

Keeping a thread like this going has has really helped with my discipline and has helped me focus on what I should be doing:-) I can't see that changing if I can continue to turn a profit, I like seeing the stakes increase too much for me to lose my discipline!;-)

Good luck in that venture - I've tried to explain even the most basic aspects of laying to the mrs.....given up - now I just do the racing and leave it at that :-) Shame you may have to go back to work Dave - keep on laying, build your bank up and "this time next year you'll be a millionaire!"


Phew.... signed off for another 2 wks today, mrs can carry on watching Loose Women for a while ;-)

Nice one mate - trouble is the longer you are not at work.....the less you'll want to go back !!! :-)

I also like the look of the 123 6 pack staking as suggested on another thread as this would boost a profitable plan with a good strike rate and recover the inevitable losing bet losses quicker.

I did see this on another thread - I think he bets in series of 6. ie

1st 6 x 1 point
2nd 6 x 2 points
3rd 6 x 3 points

I think he does this until he has recouped his losses from previous cycles. TBH I haven't tried this but it may be worth having a look at. I may run it over a few bets and see out of interest.

Steve

Yes couldnt believe it - got matched @ 10.5 this a.m. thought it was going to drift but that took the pi55! :-)

I got lucky and layed backfrothecongo @ 5.6 !! others i laid, then they shortened... swings and roundabouts i guess..... though we dont have to worry too much when the bloke picking the horses is so good :-)

I started following properly the day you had 3 winners, saturday i think, so was playing catch-up a bit but nicely ahead now, long may it continue..
