Nice start fella :)

[sjones]

Cheers mate! :)

[sjones]

Slow but steady I guess.:box

[wb]

Good start jonsey! Would you not use betfair prices in the hope of maximising the profit a bit?

That said, I know some people like to keep everything to SP, just to prove that things work.

[sjones]

Cheers wb! I had thought of that but decided to stick to SP for now just to make sure this is profit making. I'll see how things fair out at Christmas and will make a decision on whether or not to use betfair then. Thanks for the input mate. :happyboun

Cost of bets: £400.00
Today's return: £470.45
Today's profit/loss: £70.45
Current balance: £1158.16I'm going to have to disagree with some of the maths here I'm afraid. You've got yourself confused with a mixture of returns and profits. Taking the profits from each bet you have:

Exeter 1.10 Greenhill Bramble (£50 win) 2nd @ 9/4 (-50)
Exeter 1.40 Tora Bora (£50 win) 2nd @ 13/2 (-50)
Exeter 2.45 Minella Tipperary (£50 win) unplaced (-50)
Sandown 1.30 Idris (£50 win) 1st @ 5/1 (+250)
Sandown 2.35 Star De Mohaison (£100 win) 1st @ 1/2 (+50)
Sandown 3.40 My Turn Now (£100 win) 1st @ 10/11 (+90.91)

That sums to £240.91 profit.

In terms of return you have:

Exeter 1.10 Greenhill Bramble (£50 win) 2nd @ 9/4 (-0)
Exeter 1.40 Tora Bora (£50 win) 2nd @ 13/2 (-0)
Exeter 2.45 Minella Tipperary (£50 win) unplaced (-0)
Sandown 1.30 Idris (£50 win) 1st @ 5/1 (+300)
Sandown 2.35 Star De Mohaison (£100 win) 1st @ 1/2 (+150)
Sandown 3.40 My Turn Now (£100 win) 1st @ 10/11 (+190.91)

That sums to a return of £640.91, minus your outlay of £400 for a profit of £240.91.

I think you've done yourself out of 170 mythical quid...

[sjones]

Yikes you're right!! I'd make a rubbish bookie. :splapme :laugh :Helooo

Thanks a million mate, I'd never have spotted it.
