Saturday - Start of the Football Season

Good Day Yesterday. Just one of those days when most things seemed to go right.

Had a few winners in the horse racing, 2 of which were posted up prior to the race. Not really something I am going to make a habit of doing, but didn't think it would hurt last night. Please be aware my punting is based on my own decisions, no inside information, so if I do post up selections you follow them at your own risk.

Lucky I changed my postion on the golf, again as posted. I can now lay off my bet on Tiger to guarantee a profit on the event. But I am unsure at this moment whether to, as I really can't see anyone catching him from here. I may just lay the stake back rather than going green across the board.

The cricket is tougher, England as far as I am concerned are now out of it, so I am banking on India taking 19 wickets in 3 days, England failing to reach the follow on target and India enforcing the follow on.

I think I may let my lay of the draw ride until Lunch at least- the problem is this price is going to plummet if there are no wickets this morning. However the England price should come in a bit too if the runs are scored quickly meaning I could lay the green on England. I may have a speculative £10 on England at the current price so I have got a big enough green to lay against if the situation arises. Call it an Insurance policy ;-)

At the moment I could trade out for a small loss, but my gambling instincts are making me go for it - probably a mistake but we'll see. As patriotic as I am, I will be cheering every wicket this morning.

Hope the above makes sense to someone.

I'll try to update later on the Football and how my cricket position is looking. But good luck if you are playing today.

Profit from yesterday:

Horse Racing: GBP225.38 Total P&L: GBP225.38
