Thanks rob.

Well another year over and thankfully I’ve achieved (plus a little more) than what I set out to do, double the starting bank. Despite an almost identical finishing total as to last year, it somehow feels far less successful, maybe it’s because I had more big single winners during last years thread than the current one. It has still be very enjoyable to do, and would like to thank all that have looked in and wished the venture well, and also for leaving your views and thoughts on the races that I’d covered.

Please find below this year’s numbers crunched…..


                                                 No. selections     Winners          P / L at SP       P/L at adv

    31    6    +18 3/4pts    +20 pts

August
    8    0    - 8 pts    - 8 pts
September    15    2    - 6 ¼ pts    - 1pt

October
    31    6    + 13 pts    + 29 pts
November
    23    3    - 2 ½ pts    + 7 ½ pts
December
    18    3    - 4 ¼ pts    + ½ pt
Totals
    256    29    - 59 pts    + 3 ½ pts



The table illustrates a 1pt single win at both industry S.P. and advised prices on all selections, which is fairly dire reading by anyone’s standards. However due to the E.W. nature of my betting, and the inclusion of E.W.doubles into my strategies, is in my eye’s proof that being a successful punter does not necessarily mean you have to bang in winners day in day out.

In this years thread, if my calculations are correct I have invested a total of 700.5 pts which has yielded a profit of 167 ¾ pts, and annual profit on points invested of approximately 24 %.

However I choose to see it this way….. I’ve made a 167.75 % return on my initial investment at the start of the year of 2K, and no high street bank is going to give you those rates.


Happy New Year, and all the best for 2013 with your punting

Kind regards, therobster
