STW is dead, deceased, popped its clogs, no more, departed, gone for good, and most definitely bitten the dust.

Having a great day of it so far today using STW betting software!

I have been using IRIS and getting more used to it. I did have one race where I didn’t get the bet matched as I put it in too close to the end of the race, but otherwise I have been laying losers at Southwell and making money because they all lost.

There were a couple that might a bit close for comfort but thats the way it goes. I have been using the info from the daily donkey site and watching how the race was going for that particular horse. About 3-4 furlongs to go to the finish I have placed the lay bet if the odds were reasonable so I wouldn’t get caught with too big a liability if it decided that it did want to win after all. So far so good – I am really impressed with IRIS now that I have had a good amount of time to get in and use it.

I am not so keen on it with the short races, it all happens so quick in a 7 furlong race…..

The other thing I have been doing today is the scalping of the market in the horse race. I have chosen either a favourite or a second favourite in a longer race and placed a back bet and a lay bet at the same time. The back bet goes in at the level that the market is at when I place the bet and the other bet, the lay bet is an order really 10 ticks lower. During the course of the race the odds get smaller and the order for the second bet gets matched and I am greened up with some profit.

On one race I mangaged to do that twice and get some extra profit. Excellent stuff….. Using STW software of course to set up the scalp.

I did have a couple of loss of signal races today but thats technology for you. I was hoping to make an extra couple of quid to add to the coffers that have already been expanded today.

Later there is a football match on and I may do something with it. perhaps a scalping of the under-over 2.5 goals market. The only trouble is that I could do with soome time on the sofa as Santa being his generous self brought me a head cold with a runny nose and taking it easy would be nice. We will see….
