No end in sight
Just been browsing the Met Office web site for news on when the cold weather will end. Unfortunately, despite a respite at the weekend, it looks like it is still here for a while. The main issue being a high pressure in the Atlantic blocking progress of a westerly airstream.
I was on fire this week last year and could do no wrong, difficult to be on fire this year. On a daily basis there is very little to be done, it’s not worth me doing the odd all weather meeting here or there, so my focus is other sports.
I’ve always enjoyed trading on football and there are some intuitive strategies to be had. I mailed out a list of videos last night. I’ve also returned to Greyhounds during this period to try to develop that a bit further. I suggest you revisit both if you are looking for things to do. For racing traders Greyhounds will feel different, but generally familiar territory.
Don’t forget, you shouldn’t feel guilty taking a break. If you have worked hard during the summer, there is no reason to beat yourself up for taking time off now. You have to bank the good times for moments like these and a little sacrifice of leisure time in the summer can more than be made up in the winter with little impact on your bottom line.
I can’t actually remember such a barren period for the horse racing markets and the Met Office reckon the current period is setting records which date back to 1993. So it’s a period that probably hasn’t been seen in the betting exchange era. After a really good year it looks like I will fall at the final hurdle and have a rubbish December. Knocking 1/12th off your year isn’t an ideal scenario, but there is little that can be done about it. It’s really annoying as I really pushed the boat out this year and it looks like the final numbers will be out of my hands. I don’t think I have the energy to put as much effort into next year and I also have commitments planned out in the next couple of years, so I think I will have to be happy with 2010 for a while.
Still, who knows what is around the corner? Hopefully some sunshine!
I'm not dreaming of a white christmas
