An early start brings rewards
Balance: £1000.00
Although i am not starting this full time until 22nd March i have been looking to make a little bit of profit just to give me a little headstart for the first week so if things don't quite go to plan i have a little breathing space, although i am aiming for £50 a day i am not sure whether this can be made from trading alone especially when i will only be risking 5% of the bank per trade. This is why i am also going to be laying favourites for the flat season aswell as a top up but i actually think a lot of profit can be made in the first few weeks of the flat.
I started to look at Betfair on Friday night and combining the Wolverhamtpon meeting with the RSA racing at Greyville just to get my eye in if you like, you may ask why on earth use the South African meeting but i have had some pretty good sucess laying favourites around this time of the year before.
After winning on all three races there i moved onto the night meeting at Wolverhampton with another three sucesses before having a win bet on Bridge of Fermoy, yes it is against the system but i was very confident it would win and did place a saver place bet on it aswell even though he flew away from the field.
So at the end of the first day i was £121 in profit.

Moving onto yesterday and i had identified Ayr as my target meeting for the day purely because they had just survived an inspection and the ground was heavy, always a help, anyway did very well there and also mixed it up with a couple of trades making £7 each on the Rugby and also the Man. Utd cup game. I also laid short price Revello Bay at Sandown to have another fantastic day which produced £135.32.
It is unlikely i will have another bet now before Cheltenham starts - my plan here is to lay some of the favourites depending on price though as Cheltenham always provides plenty of value for the backers. I am particularly interested in laying Ingles Drever at the moment, if i make anymore bets i will post them here.
P&L: £256.34
Good luck to all.
