......Selections 22 March 2012

Unfortunately I had to go out this morning and because of that I had little time to study, so I'll post my bets one by one instead of all at once

2.30 Carl - Lightning Rod (1.81).................... Place......................... -1pt (bad start)
3.00 Carl - Dartford Warbler (8.0).................... Lay Win......................... -7pt (from 9.4 to 7.0 and I still went in, this is what I get for not following my own rules)

......Selections 21 March 2012

21 March bets:

I'll use a point staking system, all bets are 1pt unless otherwise stated
All bets will be settled at BSP (Betfair Starting Price)

Ok this is the plan for today but thats all it is...a plan
Many bets here might change if the market says so, unfortunately I have no way around this and if a bet becomes a "NO BET" I'll have to say it right before the off of the race, if the price of a bet moves more than 20%, from when I recorded it and that move is in the wrong direction I'll think about turning it into a "NO BET"

2.10 Hayd - Springfield Raki.........................Lay Win............................... +1pt
2.30 Here - Outrageous Request................Win ...................... +0.87pt
3.05 Kemp - Blue Hills..................................0.5pt Lay Win .......... +0.5pt (2nd phew!!)

7.55 Kemp - Dells Breezer...........................0.5pt Lay Win.......................... +0.5pt
8.25 Kemp - Islesman................................Lay Win..................................... +1pt

I didn't post lay place bets but I'll probably do it, if I do it I'll post before the off

Additional bets (this is for "unplanned" (or bets where I wait for the market to help me make my final decision)bets that I post right before the start of the race)

First post and I go straight into negative LOL

My "to win" and "to be placed" back bets went as bad as it could have been
My lays on the other hand went as smooth as it could have been

nº of bets = 14

nº of backs = 6 (5 lost)

nº of lays = 8

winning bets total = (6.09 pts - 5% comission) 5.7855 pts

lost bets total = -10 pts

Total for the day = -4.2145 pts

I hope that tomorrow things workout better
Kowloon was by far the biggest disappoitment of the day because I was convinced he would surely be placed, if not for this loss I would at least of had a small profit for the day

See you tomorrow

Ok first I would like to say that these bets I'm posting are part of a test I'm doing so this is far from a done deal in terms of a system or anything like it (remember that this could well go down pretty fast)

I'll post several bets a day and they will be of different types, like "WIN", "PLACE", "EACH WAY", "LAY WIN" and "LAY PLACE"

I'm still not sure how I will present it but like the others times I'm sure I'll make small changes as I go along

I'll use a point staking system, all bets are 1pt unless otherwise stated
All bets will be settled at BSP (Betfair Starting Price)

5.00 Exeter - Fitobust............................0.5pt Lay Win.......................... +0.5pt

I haven´t been doing this for a long time so I'll use this blog to evaluate how it goes, at some point I might reduce the number of bets if I see that the variance is just too big

I'm still not sure this way of presenting the bets will work but if it doesn't I'll figure out a better way

good luck with your bets

Back from the dungeons :)

I'M BACK


Ok I know, I know

I always start the blog only to leave it at some point, it's more a matter of lazyness than anything else

I'll start again but this time my main objective is to keep track of my selections regarding horse racing
Horse racing is without a doubt the sport I like the most, both as a sport and a betting medium

The bulk of my betting was always the goals markets in soccer but with time my main focus has changed to horse racing because I love to watch it and I love to study it

So I'll use the blog to place my daily selections and maybe to post things I find interesting and/or controversial, I know if I do that it will keep me more interested in (my own! ) blog LOL

Although I would like to make the blog in my native language and in english, this time it will only be in English because it's just too time consuming doing it in two languages

next post I'll explain what I want to do
