Mixed Bag

Mixed bag today all in all - stung by a whopping 4 pointer from SLH which came in 2nd. Not sure I remember a 4 point single bet from Steve before!!

So in the end it wasn't too be and in the 4.30 at Plumpton Bormo finished a massive 15 lengths behind AP McCoy ridden, N Henderson trained Tanks for That. Frustrating - AP McCoy has been a nemisis for me to a certain extent - tried to get into the laying game a few months ago and got stung a wee bit laying his rides!! Was tinkering rather than being serious so it was my own fault.

Anyhow the rest looked like this;

Equine came up with Tropical Blue - best odds I could get 3/1. An each way bet which I thought was a bit strange but duly came in 2nd so I wasn't too unhappy with getting the majority of my stake back

Poor day again from Tipping Legends - both De Boitron and Ellen Tilley not delivering so another 6 points down. I'm just totting up my spreadsheets and isn't looking too pretty.

Only other quick mention is had an account bet win from the mathematician in the shape of Miami Gator so happy with that!!

Just adding my 2010 figures up and almost finished January. Looking like an excellent month for Equine Investments, SLH and Each Way Value and not so good for the rest (especially Tipping Legends).

Will provide more detail as soon as I'm done with that!!

Back to Singing the Blues

Well after yesterday with a 12.75pt profit made on SLH double thinking my luck had turned back to another dismal day today.

SLH has upped the number of bets recently which is great but another 3pointer failed to deliver today. That's big bets which I'm not sure are delivering the goods to be honest - something I need to analyse as I've always been wary of the big bets from SLH - sometimes make me wonder if it's worth just playing level stakes. Shouldn't really complain as we're in profit for the week from SLH and really that's what its all about. Long term long term long term!

Tipping Legends stinking form continues though with another 9 points down again today. Only bet from Equine was a non runner.

Miserable, my happiness short lived but I think maybe a corner is being turned! Still treading water though - no more. no less.

Groundhog Day

Another quiet, losing day yesterday. Hopefully things will begin to pick up.

2 more losers from Double the Odds - dread to think what their stats look like for 2010 but not be pretty once I add it all up I'm sure.

Punter Profits selection lost as did Mocho - a strong 4 point bet from Tipping Legends who are on a shocking run at the moment.

Only bright spot was Veronicas Boy finishing 2nd for Each Way Qualifiers but no way made up for the above!!

Poor poor poor!!

Invisible Profits

Monday was a quiet day but another losing day so not too happy!! Had a hard day putting bets on as I was travelling again.

Biggest bet of the day was 3 point win from SLH who I got on at 11/4 with ladbrokes so just above the min of 5/2. And invisible man was just that finishing 6th. Not great for a big bet in my book.

Equine and Mathematician both put horses up in the 3pm at Wolverhampton - Geezers Colours from Equine recommended at 8/1 (I got 11/2) and Ravi River from Mathematician (I got got best odds guarantee at 9/4). Surprisingly (without being mean) Mathematician did the job!!

Still a losing day overall, compounded by Double the Odds miserable run continuing!!

Feel like little progress being made at the moment. Hopefully the corner will turn!

Shockaroony

Dismal day indeed with a complete wipeout with not one single bet placed coming in!!

Equine Investments, SLH and the Mathematician stayed off the account today so not a huge amount happening but Tipping Legends drew a blank knocking another 11pts off. Punter Profits, Double the Odds and Football Elite all doing nothing as well!!

And here was me hoping for a good weekend after Newcastle winning 5-1 last night!!

Feels like very little progress being made since the start of the year. Haven't finalised my 2009 figs or 2010 yet so will need to see how things are going. Not very well is probably the answer!!

Equine subs are due by 1 April as well so need to start winning some cash!!

Back at home! Back on track?

Back at home today. Didn't manage to get all the bets on today as I'm continuing to struggle with the Orange reception on my iphone - driving me barmy at the moment!

Anyway was a good day with a profit on what I did get on thankfully!

SLH recommended an each way dbl - both horses coming in the places and resulting on a return of stake so nothing lost there.

Couple of horse from Tipping Legends - with Benfleet Boy doing the goods giving me a 4.2pt profit on the day with them and Equine Investments, Follow the Flag not doing anything at all in the 5.20 at Wolverhampton.

Trying to do basic updates wherever I can so will come to what i call my ramblings when I have more time!

Quick Update

Been a busy time with work as I continue to tour the country with work putting extra pressure on the old bets!!

Nothing much happening with things today. 5 mentions (i think they were all mentions) from Equine Investments delivered a small profit on the day so can't argue with that.

Tipping Legends poor run continues - Grand Honour losing at Wolverhampton - 2 pt loss.

Generally feels like I'm treading water at the moment.
