what was i saying about regrouping ..............

that was the idea rather than doing my bollocks as was the case today............ Blogs are brilliant when everything is going swimmingly but with me losing nearly £1200 in the last 10 days, and me taking the honest route they can prove to be a pain in the arse !!! Not easy telling the world what a prat you have been and showing the signs of indiscipline that i try so hard to tell people to avoid, making mistakes are bad enough but then having to put them in print for all to see is hard to swallow. Part of the reason to start blogging was to give me an extra reason to remain disciplined, but looking back at today it was more of a case of being on the wrong horse and barking up the wrong tree.
Early afternoon all was rosey just the one bet £50 @ 3/1 on Bubses Boy 5.35 Folkestone, 5/2 was the best price and the bet was on the back of sustained support from respected faces in Newmarket and i was happy, then i got a call screaming the house down over The Hague in the 3.50 Southwell and i was told to expect support, i started to build a position in anticipation of support ................. how wrong can you be, the sp of 4/6 only tells one story as the exchange price was 11/8 i had well n truly caught a cold !!!! i was screwed and not a lot i could do, my source had recently given me Servoca on Friday 5/4 backed into 4/7 but this one was a right lemon. My exchange position is a tad embarrassing to air .............. but i have come this far, basically i had £325 @ 2/9 !!! Well i knew my goose was cooked pretty early on and i went for a stroll to try and clear my head, the gory detailsare shown below .............

I tried to salwage a little back on the day by having a further £50 @ 11/4 on Bubses Boy and although running much better than The Hague never threatened, to seal a £425 loss on the day.
I cant afford to lose these sort of sums thesedays and some serious thinking and work needs to be done over the next few days, my trip to Cheltenham looks as likely as Spurs winning the league unless fortunes quickly turnaround.
