Quiet end to Ebor

Quiet end to Ebor

The Ebor meeting closed with a quiet day, no fireworks or anything particularly special, but it’s been a good meeting.

I made a couple of cock ups today. Went too aggressive on one market and couldn’t turn it around when it went against me,  but I did manage to restrict the loss to only -£50. Then I completely messed up the last and lost £120, not the ideal way to end, but the other races were OK. I managed to …

Outrageous risk – Part Two

Outrageous risk – Part Two

To recap. Last Thursday we backed the favourite at a fixed time of the day and let our losses run without re-dress. Basically it was dumb, reckless swing trading with complete abandon. By doing this we were opening ourselves to potential losses that could be massive. Only at post time did we bother to close our position. Other than that, we let risk run to its fullest extent.

My question to you, is did we: –

When I started this blog my first ever post was about three club monte, you can see the original blog entry here.

If you looked at yesterdays races before they started you could …

You tube channel

For some time now Bet Angel users have been uploading trading videos to You Tube.  One of the earlier videos has now had nearly 17,000 views.

Late last year we thought it would be a good idea to group them together into one area for you, so we set up a channel at https://www.youtube.com/betangeltv. We have also been uploading videos of our own for your referance.You tube can be a bit of a challenge as the video image is …

Magnificent Murray

Magnificent Murray

Two years after beating Federer at the Cinny Masters Andy Murray finally managed to get the same masters title under his belt and move up to an all time six in the world rankings. The final showed that there is plenty of room for improvement. Djokovic never managed to put any real pressure on Murray’s serve but Murray still had to battle out a 7-6 7-6 victory. The game should have been long over before the final tie break was …
