Mission impossible
One look at the racing card this morning and the music from mission impossible should have started running through your head.
Even with two meetings abandoned there are still a total of 11 meetings in the UK and Ireland today and a total of 720 runners over 72 races.
The problem you have on days like this is that the races fall all over each other and before one has finished another has already started. They are also generally lower quality and less interesting as betting markets, so overall the markets can be very weak. The races are longer today as they are over jumps, this increases the likelihood of a clash. These two factors combine to make for very difficult trading markets.
But there is hope, of course. We have some bigger meetings around, none more so than Kempton. So on a day like this I tend to sift through the card to pick off key targets. An easy way to do this is to use Bet Angel. Nothing in Bet Angel was created without a purpose and Guardian is very useful on days like this. I tend to populate all the markets into Guardian and then sort by volume. This gives me a very quick over view of where the money is and which markets to target.
More money is traded on early markets, so you need to take that into account but I do this each day to quickly see where my focus should be and today is a critical day to do this as I will stick a huge number of races. Of course you can do this on any sports, so on a busy day like today you can do this on football as well.
