32 selections, 26 traded, 6 didn’t trade. Strike rate = 81.25% ROI = 18.1%
If you didn’t trade & just punted £1 on each selection then you would be showing a profit of 4.5 points and a ROI of 14%. Meaning that all 3 full months of this blog have been profitable for win purposes as well as for trading.
This goes to show how the price that you achieve is the most critical part to your betting no matter what you’re doing, trading punting or whatever else. If you are getting the correct prices to trade from then you are probably getting the correct prices to make a profit to win from too. What you actually do for your strategy, ie if you trade to make a smaller profit pre race or trade for larger amounts in play or just leave your bet as a punt all depends on your approach to betting and what style suits your mindset.
I personally use a mix of all strategies depending on a horse’s history and my views.
In addition to the blog there were 2 further selections put up on twitter on days that I was unable to blog or the right prices only became available late on. We had a winner https://twitter.com/Stoozbet/status/259245530213916672 for which it was easy enough to get on at 10.0. And another trading selection here https://twitter.com/Stoozbet/status/260770877791158272 which hit 1.16 in the run.
To make sure you see these just follow on twitter.com/stoozbet
