Great day yesterday - trialled my laying system on the Greyhounds in paper mode ( paper mode is where you trade without real money - always do this when trialling a new system, believe me its worth waiting to go live ) and had a good day on the horses.
So the important stats - I made a clear £42 profit on the Greyhounds - this was using a £2 staking system and laying greyhounds with odds over 6.0. Now I did find that on some races the odds fluctuated greatly, resulting in a few cases of a greyhound with a 6.0 odds actually being second or thrid favourite. Not a massive issue, but something to keep an eye on. In these cases, i just changed my system slightly and went above 8.0 odds to choose the greyhound.
So the £2 per race started to trickle in nicely - doesn’t sound a lot, but think of the number of Greyhound races there are per day? I kept the system running for 2 hours, so my pro rata profit is £20 per hour - nice.
I think 3 times the greyhound I laid actually won - and this is obviously a big whole in your profit. However, with the staking system, it soon recuperated this loss. I am mindful with this system that if I had 3 lays in a row that all won, it could wipe a big chunk of my balance out.
I’m going to run the system again today, and stop at £50 profit if I can get there. It would be nice to get to raise the stakes a little, but I think i’ll build my bankroll a little more, and make sure I get a few more days of stats under my belt.
The horse racing was the normal roller coaster ride of emotions - the bankroll took a pummelling, and then recovered nicely near the end. I’m sure i’m due a day that this doesn’t happen and I take a loss!! Ah well!
Ok as promised, i’ll keep this blog completely transparent, and here is my Greyhound bets from yesterday :
