Good, Good, Better And Not So Good

What with everything else going on (yes we have to work and try and fit in a family life alongside the punting) I've only just realised that we've come to the end of another month. I think the headline accurately sums up the year so far for us. A decent enough first two months where I was still finding my feet, particularly with regards to staking, followed by a cracking March and a disappointing April.

Naturally we would love to achieve something similar to March every month but I don't think that's realistic. We know we're going to have bad spells and that we're going to have losing periods, no matter how selective we are. As many have said before, horses are not machines and any number of factors can contribute towards a horse running a bad race. If we can look back at the end of the year and find April was our worst month then we'd take that with no questions asked.

If you are following us with your own money and having the same bets as us please be realistic. As April has shown, even a selective approach is no guarantee of profits in a short-term period. We believe our approach will help minimise the damage when we have a bad run, but we cannot promise not to have losing spells, no-one can.

Fridays cards look interesting and we'll be doing everything we can to find a winner or two so that we can start the new month off in positive fashion. Despite the small losses experienced in April we're still on target to achieve our goals for the year.

Good luck if you are betting today.
