Another 3/3 which takes the bank up to £40. So managed to double the bank in just under a month which isn't bad considering we lost a week's worth of races to the weather. At this stage if anyone is following along you could withdraw your initial £20 and know that from here on out it's "risk-free" trading.
But, as this is just a bit of fun, we shall proceed! Liability now up to £13
Quite a few today but some of the odds are shocking.

Finally back underway, but there are still some meetings getting abandoned. I'm sure this is one of the reasons why the cold months have a lower return than the summer.
2 winners yesterday brings the bank up to £30.

Back to winning ways and bank is up to £23.
In my actual trading I realised an error with one of the conditions in my bot which caught a couple of losing trades that it shouldn't. A bit annoying but better to make mistakes early and catch them.

16/01/2023 15:50 Punchestown Whispering Pines a bit risky as it's 2nd fav but the fav is odds on. Layed to win £2 -
We've dodged them before but got hit twice by some losers. Annoyingly the two losers had the highest odds! Good thing we didn't stake and have been using fixed liability. Unfortunately, it does mean the last 2 weeks' efforts have been erased and we're back to square 1 with £20 bank. I'm going to stick with £11 liability though, however, if this was my "real" trading then I'll probably use this opportunity to start again with £7.

Two have come up today, both at Catterick
12.30 - No But I Will
13.40 - MixedwaveMixedwave is currently the favourite and the top 3 all have very similar odds. I'll probably leave that one.
No But I will is 3rd in a 4 horse race. I know yesterday I said about not trading them, however, the top 2 seem quite far ahead of the others. I've layed that to win £1

This is how yesterday went...
Doncaster 12.15 - Win
Doncaster 12.45 - Didn't trade it on Betdaq because it was around 24, but put it in my bot and the price much have steamed in and the horse went on to win. So luckily avoided the loser on Betdaq but caught it on my Betfair one
Exeter 13.00 - Win
Doncaster 13.15 - Horse was favourite so avoided and missed on bot
Exeter 13.35 - Horse won, but I avoided it as there were only 4 horses. The price all seemed relatively close so thought it could easily slip into favourite. I might run through the software and see number of runners
Doncaster 13.50 - Win
New Bank: £31
Liability: £10 -

Nothing today but 3 wins yesterday. So the bank is now up to £28 and liability will be £9. Alternatively, could drop the liability back down to £7 and base it off 25% of the bank. That means when the inevitable loss comes you won't be minus on your initial bank.
Slow and steady. 1 week in and we've managed to increase the bank by 40% and the staking by 30%.

Just Over Land was a winner yesterday but the odds drifted out so not interested at this early stage.
As for today, there's 2 of interest.
13.58 Newcastle - Houston Texas - layed at 9 for £1 profit
15.50 Wincanton - Paseo - layed at 9 for £1 profit -
Yesterday can be put into the "very good" category, mostly thanks to Bobby Bow having low odds. From the 2 trades £2 profit (9.5pts), bringing the new bank up to £24 and liability can go up to £8.
Only 1 today and hoping it'll drop down to 15
13.00 Ludlow - Just Over Land

@dan-mackinnon said in Fortune Favours the Bold:
Just the 2 today. Same rules apply as normal, don't trade if they're in the top 2 or take a judgement call. As nothing really happened yesterday it's still £20 bank and £7 fixed liability
1 winner and the other was outside the odds range. The new bank is £21 so sticking with £7 liability. I won't be messing about with pennies as anyone following along will likely be getting slightly different odds and I only want to increase liability at certain amounts.
£1 profit from 2 days (or 5%), if we keep this up it'll take 160 days to reach our goal. But we're looking to use the magic of compounding so hopefully it'll be a bit quicker!
Nothing today though
