Happy Easter
Hope everyone is having a nice Easter, no lays for me this weekend; it's time to spend a few days enjoying some quality family time.
It's great to have flat racing back but the changeover over codes is always a bit unpredicatble so if you are betting keep stakes low as there are always a few freak winners and losers at this time of year. Having weather that would be the norm in Siberia doesn't help the formbook either!
Weather permitting I will have a few lays on Tuesday.
Happy Easter !

The weather spoils everything again....
Typical, take a day off Saturday and look forward to to finding a few lays today and the weather goes and spoils everything. As we stand only Fontwell is on and I can't find anything there.
As its a quiet Sunday I'll be dabbling in a few football lays, probably Fulham, Palermo, Roda and Man City at first glance and then a few plays on the Spanish live game. When it comes to footy I always look to green out as I've been stung too many times in the past by late goals, Arsenal and Bolton spring horribly to mind.

Cheltenham fatigue
I don't think I am alone in feeling wiped out (not in a financial sense I stress) by Cheltenham week. So many top class races and horses, the plots and gambles, Irish raiders, furores over whip bans, 9 races in a day and the Denman / Kauto Star battle.
It's a great week of racing, of that there is no doubt, even if National Hunt racing isn't my favoured form of racing. Having said that, there is just so much to take in that I know many a racing / betting devotee who took a day off today to recharge the batteries and to remember there is something else in the world other than racing!
Back to the racing tomorrow. Hopefully I will find a few losers tomorow and we can press on towards £2,000.

Gambler loses £2m claim against bookies
Hardly a surprise this but a shame nevertheless; i was hoping to sue Cadburys because I love their chocolate so much that it is making me fat. Its not my fault, their choccy is too nice and I keep wanting more of it. So it must be their fault....isn't it ??

Cheltenham Day 2 Called Off
Day 2 at Cheltenham has been called off due to 'elf and safety' concerns. Listening to the Radio correspondents this morning, it was the hospitality village that was the concern, not the actual racing. Several horses were out on the course this morning with no problems but with 15-20,000 people in the corporate entertainment area, the possible danger from high winds becomes of paramount performance I guess. To see the details click here: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/12032008/58/cheltenham-day-called.html
There's still racing at Huntingdon, Wolverhampton and Southwell so I'm sure we will find a few selections with a fair chance of losing today.

Change in commission
My 2% 'deal' with Betdaq has now expired and thus my use of their exchange is sure to reduce sharply due to the lower liquidity there. They really need to improve liquidity if they are to give Betfair a run for their money.
To make the commission easier to account for and to enable me to use either Betdaq or Betfair, I will just take 5% commission of every winning stake and then it's plain for all to see the profit/loss.

Tuesday 11th March 2008 - First Day of Cheltenham
Whilst I've always favoured the all-weather and flat racing over National Hunt from a betting perspective, anyone who loves racing would agree that its hard to beat the Cheltenham Festival. Fine hores, the top trainers and jockeys in the game, speaking of which good to see Tony McCoy back in the saddle in time for Cheltenham, and thousands of drunk punters keeping the bookies in profit. Sadly I will be working so no shouting at the TV screen for me as my horse fights its way up the hill to the finish.
On the flip side I won't be shouting at the annoying so-called experts that always tip favourites and pretend that they had fancied the winner. They tip up almost every horse as in with a chance if it gets its ground or the pace of the race suits it etc etc and then tell all and sundry they picked the winner after the race! Don't worry, we won't mention the seven other horses you tipped up...
Anyway on to todays lays, hopefully we can recoup the losses from the first day of the month:
300 Woodland Mist £100@5.40
315 Harchibald £100@7.80
315 Sublimity £100@6.80
440 Wonderkid £100@2.70
