Final Afternoon Off Work.......

Daily Profit £45.57

I feel a bit of sadness with tonight's post as today was my last day off work. From tomorrow, I'm back in the office from 9am to 5pm, so my Betfair betting opportunities will be limited to evening racing in the summer and at weekends.

Today was an OK day for me but again, due to my self-enforced discipline, I only got involved in 4 races today.

At the off in each, I was riskfree on 2 horses in each race and even though no horse won, I managed to still generate a profit of £45 from leaving in-running lays, so it was a nice day.

Something happened to me in a race at Pontefract which cost me a profit of £100+ on the race but I don't want to dwell on it too much as I managed to put it out my mind quite quickly thanks to something Andrew said to me. Basically, Betfair froze my laptop and I couldn't get logged back in quickly enough to place my lays before the off. I was riskfree on a horse for £200 and it traded in running at 1.2 before getting beat.

I was trying to place a lay of 1.6 for £100 when my laptop froze, so I missed out on this £100 plus anymore I could have earned from leaving lower in-running lays.

As Andrew said though, it shows how far I have come in the space of 2 months that my errors now are about me missing out on large profits and not creating large losses!

I'll continue to try to keep my blog updated as regularly as possible going forward but it may be less frequent than it has been in the last few months.
