@john-folan those where they end up nowhere feel great, like when you back a team in football they go 1-0 up you green up and they lose 1-3, perfect trading!

John Folan

Not really much better today. 2 potentials. 3.5-9 odds as usual

John Folan

A nice 1.96 points off the one trade. Horse finished nowhere though. Nothing today. Usual crap Tuesday

John Folan

Back to the gee gees. Just the one tomorrow. 3.5-9 odds range

John Folan

@anthony-ariss that’s mental. Don’t think they will do that to me. Fairplay to you for stepping up like that. I used to regularly give Blood pre Covid(10th time this time so need to up my game). Will get back to every three months now.

Nothing from me. I’m typing this as I give . Please all do this as they are running low. Hour out of your life.

Nice one John!

I'm a regular platelet/plasma donor - did my 120 th the other day - although you can do it every 3 weeks unlike the max 4 times a years for blood - just takes longer ( about 90 mins and only about 8 centres in UK machines ) - gave blood for years until they spotted I had a massive vein ( you need a decent one for plasma/platelets as blood gets taken out, spun in machine, then put back into you ) and asked if I'd do it.

Staff are brilliant at the Birmingham Donor Centre

Another point back and another winner. The grind continues for another day.

John Folan

Today's. Usual 3.5-9 range and no heavy ground

John Folan

Four points Trob profit and a winner as well. The slow grind continues for today at least.

John Folan

Hopefully a slow grind back to normal is in progress. 3.5-9 as usual

@martin @John-Folan a bit of vague question but, does horse racing lend itself to set and forget strategies the same way football does?

It can. I've got as steamer bot I just leave running and the same with trobs. There's loads of other stuff you can do too.

Lay the field, Dob's, Short inrunning, Back to Lay, Lay to Back. Straight backs and place stuff, straight lays too. Pricing is a lot more volatile so a bot to place the bets within parameters can be a good idea but isn't essential.

@lee-woodman agree there, handy that races are on during to the day too for those that want more of an evening and weekend social life!

I’m looking forward to having a crack at the horse racing software too! I think it’s a good sport to trade with some fundamental understanding but without too much prior knowledge. Personally I don’t want to add more strategies to football trading but definitely have some capacity to look at horses and with a constant stream of races it’s ideal

You can have too much knowledge. Which is a weird thing to say. Preconceptions are a major block to horse trading. I just follow numbers.

@ryan love this mate, im excited for it like others have said im sure knowing you guys itll be user friendly and visually easy to navigate (others arent) which will separate you from the rest. Horse racing happens every day and loads of it, this could open a whole new trading angle for traders on here. Looking forward to nailing a strategy

@john-folan Wont be long! Await the call from Adam!
