Two card Mondays
Posted by Peter Webb in Horse Racing on January 24th, 2012
Not a new card game, but a statement on the Racing so far this year.
By and large the racing is at levels that are normal at this time of year. A bit erratic, low quality, poor betting markets. But the transition from predominantly three cards on a Monday last year to just two this year is making things just that little more difficult this year around. In the Summer I will often take the Monday afternoons off, or do something else. It looks like that period will extend out a bit further now. Some of this is down to the way I participate on the markets, I guess it may be more suitable for others.
Things are looking up this weekend though when we head into the Cheltenham trials, that should liven things up a bit.
I tend to use my time wisely at this time of year, to experiment and to test out new ideas and strategies. It’s lower risk at this time of year and a mistake now doens’t cost you as much, in a comparative sense, to what it would at a busier time of year. Use the extra time you have now to plan ahead and think afresh.
Sometimes, two cards are not as good as three!

We have reached the time of year when Monday and Tuesday racing drops to two cards in the afternoon. It’s an important time of year as this changes the characteristic of these cards to the negative, but also it allows you to do a few other things and skip these cards if needed.
Racing tends to be lower quality on a Monday and Tuesday and that combined with the 15 minute gaps in-between the cards leads to much poorer market conditions overall. I’ll be taking some time out in the summer on these days in line with my objective of getting some more balance into my life this year. We also plan a few new things for Bet Angel users to do during these quieter days, so please keep your eyes open for this announcement.
