Seasonal variation

First thing to note is that my week changes throughout the year. I’m guided by the sporting calendar. In the summer this …

So, it’s 20:20 and I just picked up £200 or so from the last four races. Was rather hoping there would be some Tennis around as well, but such is life.

Here is a snapshot of my life for the day: -

Up at 06:30, read emails and stuff, picked up data from the day before and did some analysis on it. Made some notes to follow up on later in the afternoon in-between …

We are well and truly embedded in the flat turf season now. 58 races greet us on the card today and there must be at least a dozen really decent opportunities in there. I’d love to tell you what they are, but my trading style means I wont know until we are much nearer the start. But it’s all good stuff out there.

The …

This post is about the case at Southwark Crown Court this week, involving the now infamous Elliot Short. I see others have picked up on this before I had the chance to write about it, but here is the link to the original article which was posted up on the forum at the start …

So we are now on the cusp of a lot of major sporting action. This year wont be quite as busy as last year but it’s something to look forward too.

The Monte Carlo Masters Tennis is a signal to start dusting down things for the French Open. The clay court season in past years has been interesting …

When you are running automation you can’t help but think, as you are guzzling down that drink at a party, how did I do on the 20:50?  So I thought it may be neat to look at SMS as a solution. I thought it may technically difficult to do, but it turns out SMS is a quite easy, if not an inexpensive option. That was when I discovered something else.

I quickly realised, excuse …

Last week we had virtually no racing at all and today we ended up with the chaos of 50 races, even excluding the big meeting at Meydan. To be honest I’d prefer neither. A nice progression from one race to another, no clashes, but lots of racing is my ideal set up. Didn’t really get …

The leap into the unknown

So I was in my early 30’s, had a desire to work for myself, but was in a well paid job and travelling all over the place; which I quite enjoyed. Some things had always niggled me though.

If you work for somebody else, you feel you never truly control your own destiny. …

I had a decent day on Saturday. The racing wasn’t anything amazing, though I put in a solid performance, but the football gave me a rare day with no losses and that result netted far more than the racing. At least this was the case on Saturday, on Sunday football was slightly negative, it all balances out over time.

Each sport I work on I tend to use different tactics and it results in different …

This week there have been a number of industry events on in London, the main one is called ICE. I am at the last one this morning, before heading back to the office this afternoon. These events take place each year and it’s where all the glitterati from the world of gambling come together under …
