Comment:

At least a few more selections today - BUT - still very poor odds! I averaged £20 profit per bet (as opposed to £120 per bet!). Just have to grin and bear it I suppose. Sooner or later the market will turn, I just need to be patient.

Comment:

Only 3 runners met my selection criteria and then one of those became a non-runner. And of the two that were left the odds were poor. So, another low-profit day. Sooner or later the tide will turn and then we should have some fun! In the meantime ... Keep The Faith!

Comment:

No bets were made today. My wife and I received a call this morning that required us to make a cross country dash to the hospital bedside of a relative who is suddenly at death's door. It is unlikely that she will last the next 24 hours. Her son and grandson are now with her - and we will await the news.

Comment:

A much better start to the new month! I also benefited from more favourable odds, however, only 3 selections that met my criteria. That said, there tend to be fewer races on a Sunday to select from.

Comment:

Unfortunately 'social engagements' kept me from my office desk and so it ended, as so often this month, with no bets. Two bets would have met my criteria - and both would have made a small profit ... but it was not to be.

Looking back over the month of August the single biggest factor that contributed to the poor profit was the lack of runners that met my criteria. It was as simple as that. Admittedly the 4 days on which I made losses did not help, but, I have been there before and still recovered and made a decent showing. Not so this month - simply due to the lack of bets available to me.

Now £3,5000 tax-free for the month is still worth having but it has put a dent in my forecasts. I now think it will be mid to late October before I hit the £50K mark. I have built in some 'wriggle-room' as I have to allow for the possibility that the lack of selections will continue a while longer. We shall see. Should the number of selections (and their odds!) turn in my favour, then my overall target of £100,000 is still definitely on for this year - just a couple of months later than I anticipated.

So to sum up at this point I would say that this month's showing could be put down to 'seasonal factors' as nothing I am doing at my end has changed.

Comment:

Well at least I had a few more runners that met my criteria today - however - the odds were pretty poor hence the low profit for the day. On a positive note I have reached the £3,500 I forecast a few days ago. That said I was really wanting and expecting this month to be at least twice that!

My good lady wife has invited some friends over tomorrow and they will be arriving at 2:00pm ... so it is highly likely that I will not be laying any runners ... we shall see.

Comment:

Only 3 bets today but at least they were better odds. So, I am creeping slowly onwards and upwards (but oh so slowly!). It looks like my earlier forecast of getting to £3,500 this month will be about right - sadly.

It appears that the main problems this month are a combination of a lack of bets that meet my selection criteria and poor odds. Today's results are a case in point!

Comment:

A slightly better day sums it up. That said, it did allow me to enjoy the sunshine!
Just 5 more days to the month end and I think it is pretty clear that this will be a very poor month. I'll give a detailed analysis once I get there and see what, if anything, I can learn from it.



New to this Blog?: May I suggest you read my 'Preamble' on DAY 1 of this Blog. It should answer most of your initial questions.

Until tomorrow ...
