May I suggest something like Maria.
Set aside a bank, and bet accordingly.
I'm sure you'll make it pay.

Yes I think your right. I'm just reading over her thread again whilst waiting for all the Donkeys to appear. Should do ok if we couple Maria with some semi-aggressive Chrome type pricing.

Challenging night. The full Donkey posted a negative return, and we were lucky to break even with our subset of selections.

Last night provided a good example of the benefits offered by laying to prices. I'd priced the four selection like this

Real Chief $7.00
Cool Roxy $3.75
Whyso Mayo $3.70
Quid Pro Quo $5.10

I couldn't get matched on Real Chief or Cool Roxy so I finished with two lays for two successful results.

Will post results later but at a glance it looks like we've had a bomb go off.

I only seem to have been matched on two selections (out of nine!!)

Boyastara @ $6.60 (SP 7/1)
Alfadora @ $4.40 (SP 3/1)

Auntie Kathleen was a non-runner, and Nenuphar Collonges (SP 5/1) and Bertie May (SP 7/1) both won

I knew there was a reason to take the weekends off.

Actually,P., you got 6/8 right. Not great --- but not too bad.

Whether or not you got matched is something only you would know.

Merriguy your right and I'm not comfortable making such statements without being able to support them. The attached JPG's may help. Stake and Profit/Loss have been erased. I'm literally only laying for penny's until I'll sure we're on to something.

Talk to you later.

Last night went nicely pear shaped. The full Donkey posted a nice profit for the night. We put in a stinker. Onwards and upwards from here. Let's hope.
