Started with a bank of £3.93, and made £7.58 over a few races this afternoon to finish up with a bank of 11.51 ready for some big stake betting tomorrow.
That £250k of profit to put me in the new Premium Charge zone is getting closer every day...
The last race was one of the easier trades of the day and I was fairly confident that the price 'should' come in, although (typically as I'd just increased the stakes to £3) it did take a while and I was already quite a few ticks in the red before the race even started.
It's a thin line between scratching too early and missing the profit, or letting it run a bit too long and losing the whole stake...
This is a good example of not scratching too early. I'm getting better at picking the right horses (mainly because I've automated it) so I'm more confident about hanging on for the green.
I probably shouldn't watch the races once I've put the closing trade in, but unfortunately I still sometimes like to jump in early and take a smaller green than I should or settle for a small red just before the price shoots down past where my lay bet was waiting... as I did several times today. The key is selecting the right horse and the right number of ticks in advance, as it's almost impossible to scratch once it goes wrong anyway, and I lose as much in greens as I save in reds by intervening.
I've added some music to the video, because it's bloody boring otherwise, and I reckon there can't be more than about 6 mouse clicks in the whole thing...
I placed the back bet quite early (about 10 mins before the race) just because there was nothing else happening. Sometimes I start the trade before the off, other times I wait until the race has started. Not very scientific, but that's what happens...
I'll do a longer video of more races next week when I'm in Spain (and I'll speed it up so it doesn't last too long).
You're using two pieces of software I believe you have developed?
ReplyDeleteHorse Race Assistant and Race Timer.
Could you perhaps share your timer? I could use something like that.
Thanks,
Andre
Hi,
ReplyDeleteNice video. What is this software, this Race Timer, where can I find it?! it can be useful maybe :) And if you could add my blog to your list, http://www.aritrader.blogspot.com/
Cheers
Hi skit, aron,
ReplyDeleteNo problem sharing the timer, I need to finish it off and I'll try to get it done by early next week. I'm travelling to Spain this weekend so probably won't have much time until Monday/Tuesday. I'm going to try and make it auto start (by screen grabbing the The Toy to check for the race start) so will try and get that done asap.
Blog link added, good luck :)
Hi Cran
ReplyDeleteGood video mate
Like the timer and the screen scrapping software must save you a fair bit of time
