Got off to my usual slow start today when trading some Geelong races in between my work commitments (a bit slow at the mo).
Then along comes race 6 at Geelong when I didn't get out in time. I should of had a $10 hedged profit but the race went in play and the only money on that horse (Chosen Son) would have meant I was in for a $26 loss if I hedged.
If that horse would have won I was staring down the barrel of a $200+ loss. Luckily the race caller was on the ball and kept me informed that Chosen Son was out the back and all over the track. I let my bet ride and won $45 in that race. Thanks mate.
I guess Chosen Son wasn't the one.
So I really only would have won about $17 today if it wasn't for that hiccup. While not strictly a trade I will take it as I would of had to take the loss if it was a losing race.
I most probably won't be posting any of Saturdays results tomorrow night as we are going out. I will update when I get time.
The beauty of trading is that it doesn't matter one iota what condition the track is in - you can still trade.
Session 4 (Fri 12/07/2013): Trading Profit Today +$52.21 (8 races traded)
Running Total
+$196.63
