Daily Result: £3.59

Again I only traded a few races today as I wanted to watch the football I also traded the first goalscorer market for £1.90, there is a golf tournement on from tomorrow till Sunday and it's on sky as well so hopefully I will get the chance to trade in that one as I tend to make a few £ on the golf.

Daily Result: £5.36

Well again I only managed to trade 4 races today for £3.20 profit but although the average profit per race was there I seemed to trade poorly (or the trades went against me put it that way) and TBH I was lucky to walk away with a profit today i
t could of so easily been my first overall loss in a day so I will take any profit that I can get.
*update* I managed to trade 2 races at the end of the day as well for another £2.16 profit from the 2 races and these turned out much better than the ones earlier today and went my way quickly.

Daily Result: £9.21

Well a pretty uneventful trading day for me today with £9.21 profit but that was from 9 races so over £1 profit each race average so I'm happy with that especially as like normal I only got fully matched in 1 race for £3.11 profit, not bad since my lay and back amounts were £10. I always lay first as for me it's much easier to spot a drifter in the market so although I can't put as much on as I could if I backed first I do pretty much get it right most of the time (take today for instance I made a profit in them all and *touch wood* have still not had a day where I have lost money.


My Internet also went back up to 1meg today so hopefully thats it sorted for a while now I am tempted to try to lower the SNR on my line to squeeze a bit more speed out of it (was on 1.4meg last week for the first time in about 3 years) but I think I will leave it as although thats no doubt slow for most people I'm used to it and it's more than adequate for me.

Daily Result: £17.28

Well my internet has finally updated to 0.5meg so I was finally able to trade again after a short lay off.
I made my highest total in a day just trading the horses although that was probably because I did trade in 19 races and I would of actually made a few £ more but in the last race my internet froze for 10 seconds and at the time I was able to back the horse I wanted at 20 which would of allowed me to trade out for £1 profit ish but instead when the net came back the price had changed to 15 and meant that I actually lost £1.35 which was disappointing (although could of been worse as like normal I didn't get all my amount matched)but overall I'm happy with the amount I made especially when as I've said before a lot of the time I only get matched for £5 or so if all my bets got matched by the full amount each time I would make 4 or 5 times as much as I do but hey sometimes I do get fully matched or close to fully matched so I can't complain (you can tell those ones easily on my profit/loss screen shot as those are the ones where I make £2-£3 in 1 race).

Now £17.28 might not sound a lot and TBH it's not but I do my trading normally while I'm at my computer working anyway so if I wasn't able to trade anyway the money would only be sat in the bank earning me around 10p a month so I would take doing this for £200 a month rather than letting it sit in the bank earning me 10p and TBH I actually quite enjoy trading on Betfair and it's always nice to see my balance in Betfair going up.

Daily Result : £5.13

Well my Internet connection is 0.1-0.2meg so at the moment it's pretty much impossible for me to trade so I managed only 1 trade on the Golf for just £1.14 when I was hoping for quite a bit more, I did also manage 1 trade on the Le Mans 24hr for £3.99 profit so making the £5.13 in total, hopefully my Internet profile will change very shortly as I'm synced so much higher.

On a more positive note total profit has just gone over £200 and at the moment *touch wood* I've yet to have a losing day.

Daily Result : £3.48

Well thanks to a powercut my router has resynced at a stunning 0.2meg (my line for some reason always comes back with a stupidly high noise margin if it has to be reset/loses power (in this case it came back with a noise margin of 27.5!!!!!!!!!!!!!, my line has always been stable at 6 so why it does this I dont know so I have to manually bring the noise margin down to get it to resync at a faster speed, It's currently resycned at 0.8meg but the way BT work it is that it will
take a few days to go upto that speed as it makes sure the line is stable so not only am I missing out on trading the horses but I am missing out on the US Open which finishes this weekend and I was hoping to make a nice chunk of cash from that as I have done the previous Golf tournements.
Result is from Fri as well by the way and not Sat, it was so slow yesterday that I couldn't even get it to load up this blog lol, anyway £3.48 from 4 races is an average of 87p so at least the average I'm getting from a race is going up, I just wish my money would get taken quicker as quite often I only get a few £ matched before someone pops ahead of my odds and it never normally goes back to my odds again so I only get around 1/5th - 1/4 of what I could do if it all gets matched, if you see some of my previous days when I've made around £3 in a race thats normally because mo
st or all of my amount has been matched.

Daily Result: £15.19

Well since starting this blog this is now my best day trading (for just the horses) and I traded pretty darn well for over £15 profit in only 12 races (all profitable ones) which is an average of £1.25 a race which OK is not a huge amount but as I've said before just 1 of those races pays for BetAngel for the day and I actually quite enjoy doing this and making some money on Betfair and I'm getting a much better return on my money doing this than if I left it in my bank, (If I left the £150 in my bank that I started with I would of made a few pence interest on that using that same amount of money I've made over £190 now and although a calender month is basically up since I started this I've actually only traded 18 of those days as well and a fair few of them for a short space of time)
US Open has started as well today so hoping to make a few £ on it before the finish of it on Sun.
