Cheltenham day two
Well I don’t think I will reach last years peak after another tougher than average day. I think I have too much ground to make up now in the remaining days. But it’s still going to be a good week, just not as good as it could have been! You can’t win them all.
The difference between yesterday and the Tuesday was that I really struggled to get any traction in the markets. By traction I mean you need to get a few decent orders through before you can really let rip and that rarely happened yesterday. I beat my best result from Tuesday so I am still moving up nicely to getting a really big individual race total, but my strike rate on the non Cheltenham cards was miserable. I often don’t do the interim races but having achieved a clean sweep on Tuesday I felt confident I could do the same yesterday, I was wrong.
Huntingdon was my complete nemesis yesterday and I only managed to win on one race. A truly dreadful result and quite rare to be honest. I don’t know why it didn’t perform but I will have a look this morning and try and understand why. It will make me cautious today for sure. I think today could be a little tricky, we have two cards standing out all on their own and that’s not helpful. But the actual races look quite well defined from a trading perspective, so I hope I can dig out a few decent results.
There was a huge positive out of yesterday. Back in the office and behind multiple monitors with Betdaq’s “We matched £21m” ringing in my ears, I gave the Cheltenham markets a really good bash on Betdaq and they worked a dream! Where the Betfair markets were stuffed with cash and hardly moving with low fill rates, the Betdaq markets were much more conducive to lower risk trading and my orders were getting taken comfortably and the profits fololowed. As there are no transaction or premium charge the figures look pretty good when you put them next to the Betfair figures. I strongly suggest you give it a try as you may find it more suitable than the tougher Betfair markets. You can run both Betdaq and Betfair versions at the same time if you wish.
As always, good luck whatever you are doing.
