Probably Too Many Bets...

...for most of you, but this is a project I'm working on, which I'm happy to openly trial on here for now!

 

I'm looking for long term profitability, which will inevitably mean good days and bad!

Maybe not, but lets keep going for a while yet. I'm happy to play along with small beans for a while....having said that, I'm waiting for Gonzo's winners as well, now he's on a rich vein of form....of one

I was out of the house at 6am this morning and never got round to putting today's up.

The wifi at Warwick is fucking shite, but here's what today's should/would have been:

 

1.25 Kelso: Cassius @ 50/1 E/W BOG : PU

1.40 Warwick : Captain Paulie @ 6/1 E/W BOG : non-runner

1.55 Kelso: Knockara Beau @ 11/8 BOG : 3rd

2.25 Kelso : Captain Americo @ 6/1 E/W BOG 2nd :D

3.10 Warwick : Earcomesthedream @ 4/1 BOG 4th

3.10 Warwick: Life Long @ 25/1 E/W BOG 2nd :D

It was, at least, an improvement on Day 1!

2.10 Lingfield : Robins Hood Bay @ 11/4 BOG (SJ) u/p

2.20 Musselburgh : Castletown Bridge @ 4/1 (BV) u/p

2.50 Musselburgh : Balding Banker @ 6/1 BOG E/W (Fred) 3rd at 13/2 :D

1.20 Musselburgh: Civil Unrest 5/1 EW BOG PU

1.30 Fakenham: White Diamond @ 25/1 EW BOG 2nd :D

1.50 Musselburgh: Political Paddy @ 50/1 EW BOG u/p

2.30 Fakenham: Phare Isle @ 16/1 EW BOG 3rd :D

2.50 Musselburgh: Solway Bay @ 25/1 EW BOG u/p

This is, of course, very much a work in progress and a deviation from my usual method of sticking a pin in a racecard selecting horses.

 

I'm confident of maming a profit in the long run and that's all I focus on. Short-term profits look good to readers on a daily basis, but the overall P/L will determine whether this is successful.

 

Currently just 7 successful bets from 29 = a loss of 14.73pts at 1pt per horse.

But, as these are generally long shots, we only need one or two.....

3 winners and an E/W placer from 8 today: very pleased with that.

A 2nd to a winner making a forecast at almost 57/1 (which I didn't back!) to boot.

 

4/8 today for +13.25pts makes the trial a little more respectable,

 

After 4 days: 11/37 (29.73%) for a small loss of 1.48pts.
