Thankfully he does well at this meeting every year :)

[mathare]

The lays were doing well again until Trotsky stormed home in the 4.45 :(

My biggest bank and a winner at 9.0 :(

[jonahjones]

Could have done without the 4.45 at Stratford. :(

[barrelmaniac]

Another very poor day for me, still a couple of races left, fingers crossed but its not looking good

[grantcharman]

Currently up the staggering sum of £1.99 :o)

[jonahjones]

I must admit I don't take bad beats very well and the 5.50 at Stratford was a bad beat. ;fire

£10,000 matched at 1.01 and still lost.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, it never happens the other way. :(

[jonahjones]

Why is it that, just when you think you're getting somewhere, you take ten steps back?

Another system back trades heavily odds-on and loses. :(

I new it was going to be a bad day when a double system back got turned-over at 1.48 in the first race. :(

[jonahjones]

And a double winning lay in the 7.30 at Epsom rounds off a ::swear::swear::swear::swear day.

Involved in fifteen races - lost money in twelve of them.

Biggest win in the three races I won money in - £6.47.

Has a favourite won a flat race today?

Has a favourite won a flat race today?

Tough day for favs, just the one winning i believe.

Does anyone on here lower there bets or cancel them when the grounds Heavy?

[mathare]

Does anyone on here lower there bets or cancel them when the grounds Heavy?I never let the weather or going affect my staking. I don't know how each individual horse may be affected by these factors so I ignore them. After all, how do I know the ground is heavy? The official going isn't always correct or reliable so I can't use that. And I don't watch the races to be able to have a chance of telling that way. So I don't let it concern me. I have had good days in the bad weather and bad days in the good weather - I assume it will all even itself out in the long run.

Plus most of my bets are system bets that are known to be profitable based on a solid staking plan that doesn't take into account the weather and because of that I don't take it into account either, else I turn system bets into method bets effectively

[jonahjones]

How have you done today so far Mat?

[barrelmaniac]

I had a terrible terrible day today as well, I have done so badly on all the big race meetings- I really couldnt have done worse if I was actually trying to!

Oh well tomorrows another day

It is indeed!

Sorry you are having a bad time mate.

My last action of the day is in the 8.20 where I have a back matched at 15.0. Even if it won twice over I wouldn't be in profit today.

[mathare]

I added a couple of new (back) systems to my portfolio today and they had an OK start. I finished with figures of 5 from 17, up 0.68pts on the backs and 4 winners from a quiet day of laying with just 16 bets leaving me down 9.17pts

Sounds like you have had a bit of a rough ride lately too.


Im still slightly up for July at the moment, a good day tomorrow and I will still be happy with July, a bad day tomorrow would mean that I would have been slightly down overall in july, I had a very bad June though so I could really do with it being a + month

[barrelmaniac]

A small piece of damage limitation on the 20.50 which is the last race of the day for me.

[Win2Win]

I used to always lower my stakes during a sudden ground change, but they mess the ground up so many times these days themselves I just don't bother.

Not a bad day really even though I'm down, as I had decent wads on two short priced NH runners.

[grantcharman]

Bit of a nothing day, few quid up thanks to Fyelehk in the 2035 at Epsom. Overall 4 winners in 12 bets, +0.49 pts which equated to less than £10 up. Thats three days in a row with positive results...which is the longest streak I've managed in July!!
