June
June was fine, nothing amazing but better than last year. Had some difficult patches, some highlights, but it just sort of happened without anything stunning happening in either direction. I just ground out a result each day.
The whole month got a shot in the arm with the World Cup and Wimbledon, both of which were welcome additions to what was often pretty poor racing. I put some renewed focus into these areas this month. The launch of Tennis trader should have helped everybody get a better understanding of Tennis trading and Wimbledon so far has been brilliant trading fooder. On the racing front, Ascot met my lower expectations!
There were a few notables from last month. The biggest is that I celebrated a decade on Betfair in the middle of the month. It’s incredible to think it’s been ten years since I first placed a bet. Betfair also celebrated their tenth birthday last month. I sent several notes of congratulations to various people in Betfair, I didn’t get one acknowledgement back! Reaching ten years has driven some focus into my thinking. But that’s something I’d like to address in a separate post.
Another couple of things, I did manage to get another 1000 winner last month which is pretty rare, but I don’t class that within my main figures as you can’t account for exceptional events like that. I also achieved something last month that I don’t think I will ever likely achieve again. It’s so off the scale I don’t think it’s worth talking about as nobody would really think it was likely. It was appropriate to do it on my tenth anniversary.
July should be interesting. With the World Cup and Wimbledon set to, end the racing may perk up. I got off to a cracker today so I am hoping to pick up speed through the month. However, life is best understood backwards but you have to live it forward. But here’s hoping for a good month.
One of a number of decent results today, a good start to the month
