A daily 3% increase in the betting bank would be just great. Do some sums on that and you will see how that builds very, very nicely over time. Eve 1% daily would be good too.

Today I used the Free Racing Place tips and thats what got me my profits. I would have had more but I experimented with two €4 hedging bets in running. So I would have been €8 better off at the end of the day. I have been successful with such a strategy in the past. I chose a weak favourite – so a horse with odds of 3 to 3.5 and backed it at the start of the race. I then put in an order for a lay bet.

Well actually I used the LazIE bet feature in BetIE, which automatically placed the lay bet order for me 1 second after the back bet went in. I set the number of ticks to be 3 ticks. So I was looking for the lay bet to be smaller by 3 moves in the market. Trouble was, is that I picked horses that started badly and then never looked like they had a chance of getting in front. (It happens sometimes).

Still there is always tomorrow….
