a unproductive week so far.............

and in all honesty quite tiring, with the weather causing travel chaos i have been leaving for work around 6.15am and getting home around 9pm but i now have a few days off to recharge the batteries, nothing doing monday or tuesday but i returned to action with one trade on wednesday and i ended up with the value but sod all else !!!
The chain of bookmakers i work for has every race priced up by 8.30am but we keep half of the races back until 11.00/11.30 these are the maidens, novice hurdles & chases plus the sellers, so basically leaving just the handicaps and most of the conditions races priced up and available to our customers until we release the other prices. Well today (wednesday) i took a call from a highly respected judge with whom i get on well with, he was enquiring on the price of Lacrosse in the Lingfield 1.00 we had him marked down as a unreleased 5/4 shot, i explained no price and i was informed that he needs to get a sizeable sum down. I looked on the exchanges and at early doors 2.32/2.34 was on offer. I invested £300 @ 2.32, there was a 8/1 withdrawal but next time i looked Lacrosse was odds on i then layed £200 at an average of 1.77 leaving me with £100 at a fraction under 2/1 for the 8/15 fav............. but thats as good as it got !!! Lacrosse was one paced and disappointed his backers finishing a never threatening 3rd.

WEDNESDAY
