“Interesting” start

An “interesting” start to the week. No sooner had I started my activity than my PC decided to reset itself, then it did it again, then the TV’s went, then all electricity was cut. A bit of a nightmare start. I ploughed on though, as I have back up systems and that gives me the ability to carry on in a disaster.  On the next outage though, even the local mobile mast went down! Obviously there was a serious problem with the local network so I had to stop trading for a while and tread carefully.

Once I was sure things were returning to normal I stepped up and got into the day, but it was quite tough. The thing that stood out for me yesterday was that despite using pretty average stake sizes it was taking ages to get filled on anything. We tested various orders across the book but it just seemed that the fill rate was poor. We wondered just how much “real” money was being matched at times? It’s a little concerning as with such a high profile event, sponsored by Betfair, we were expecting some fireworks. Lets hope the rest of the week picks up.

Over all I managed to drag myself up to near £1300 by the end of the day, but the highlight was the feature race. On Monday, during my course, we all looked at this race and discussed exactly how it should trade. It turned out exactly as we expected and also turned out to be one of the lowest risk trades of the day. With the large amount of volume to hand on the race, this was just perfect and I hope everybody took the opportunity that was presented. Fingers crossed for the rest of the week.
