The trial

Hi,

2% of the starting bank of the day, $1000 = £20 stake per selection. Where a horse is NAPPED by me, the stake is doubled. Here are todays selections:

Sat 08/10
Back Bets
1.50 York Mikdaam WON @ 3.95 (the odds I took) + £56.05
2.20 York Elland Ally Lost - £20
2.30 Fairy Reizovic Lost
2.50 York Electra Star Lost
3.10 Nmkt Power Lost
3.25 York Swiss Spirit Lost
4.05 York Nocturnal Affair Lost
4.40 York Valid Reason Place ONLY! Placed @ 6.4
5.00 Nmkt Astrology Lost
5.15 York Viva Vettori Lost

Back bets - 0.17 x £20 = - £3,40
Lay Bets
1.50 York Choissan LOST + £19.00
3.55 Hex Super Ally 3.45 NAP LAY LOST
4.40 York Astromagic LOST
5.30 Wolv Silver Wind Won @ 3.6
5.35 Nmkt Dux Scholar 4.4 LOST
6.30 Wolv Golden Compass LOST
8.00 Wolv Holiday Reading LOST

Lay bets + 3.23 pts x £20 = £64.60

DAY + £61.20

New Bank £1,064.20 = £21.28 stake per selection...

Edit: There is a possibility I could lose the whole bank on Day 1 !!! Gulp :)

Edit Edit: No horse will be layed at odds over 5.0

oh dear - never mind Martin trading for the year is bound to take some knocks (pity it was day one) - you must have been trading like a dervish to stop the rot - let us know how you did at end of day?

First impressions from Day 1 are that the back bets did not fare well. It was a Saturday, however, and I was more than surprised that a couple more didn't win - that's racing! I managd to get matched early on with the place only horse and this helped things. My lay horses are my strong suit, but, a reasonable start (6% of bank approx profit- wouldn't mind that every day!)

you did well at that to make a profit at all yesterday - I would say that 6% was time to celebrate on the selections - well done mate
