Weather / Abandoned meetings etc.

[Euler]

I hate one racecard days. I hang around to see if there are some clear cut opportunites but my tradng style needs more activity than you typically see at these meetings. The money drips in slowly, too slowly and erractically for me. The 16:30 was being heavily manipuated and the top two runners accounted for >£1.1m out of £1.5m traded, even after inplay.

Spent the afternoon working on some new stuff and testing it. I've pretty much written off the week in my mind. Not point in chasing it. I will take opportunites if I see them but that's all.

Between races I have done some useful hedging.

No not that sort of hedging.

I have about 50 beech plants/hedglings arriving on Friday and have been digging a trench.

Bleeding cold mind.

tomorrow: Wincanton,Market Rasen,Leicester - abandoned
on Friday: Exeter - abandoned
on Satruday: Wetherby - Abandoned

I tend not to trade days with 2 meetings even though there are 15min between them.

Thursday, Lingfield OFF

[Euler]

This could be the first week since I started on Betfair were I trade no horse races, not in anger at least.

If you still want to grab a few pennies, try the greyhounds. Lower volume but more frequent.

13:30 inspection at Wolvs wasn't good, so they are inspecting again at 14:45

Wolvs got the go ahead.

Sandown is off on Saturday.

Had a quick go at Meydan and got a little. If you are around worth looking in on those.

Lingfield abandoned today leaving only wolves

[Euler]

I'm pretty sure this is the worst week I have seen for abandoned racing, since I started on Betfair.

Another day off for me then I've never seen snow like this in my life, All the cars are stuck on my close, no bin man, a gritter came down the road and got stuck for 20 mins and it did nothing! the postman came round with snow chains on!

I've not made a penny this week and after last weeks loss it's a little worrying but I'm sure I'll battle through!

Its strange because its just not that bad in manchester! It is freezing but not too much snow. Bit gutted really as I would rather we have a bucket load and at least I could take my snowboard to the park and enjoy it!
