January wrap up

January suffered the most disruption I think I have have seen to the racing card in all the nine years I have been active on the exchanges. I guess this sort of thing is startling to the ‘new age’ punter but it must have happened before. Weather forecasters seem to be touting around the worst / coldest January in 18 years so I guess will we accept that as the likely frequency of occurance. If you’ve had a bit of a mare, I wouldn’t worry, hopefully you will have a long time to wait for similar disruption in the future.

Trading a variety of sports is your best bet during times like these. Obviously we can help a lot with tools like Soccer Msytic. But you can transplant your trading to other sports as well. Obviously Tennis has been a highlight in January, though I couldn’t participate for obvious reasons. But also sports like Greyhound racing, typically the televised events, are not too different to trade.

For me January looked like it could be a disaster. With the poor weather and personal circumstances less than idea I felt I was probably heading for my worst month for some time. Remarkably though I have ended the month only just short of last years total.

For February we typically reach a low point in the year. There isn’t a great deal of major action around in the depths of winter and even the champions league waits till the end of the month. So after the loss of my father and the prospect of a less than exciting month I’ve decided to take a short break to recharge my batteries for what promises to be a busy year. I’ll post a bit less in February as I take some time off to sort out things and take a well earned break.

There are opportuntities around in February but they are clearly there if you are willing to work hard enough. In my absence your chances wouldn’t have exactly diminished! Good luck with your activity in February.
