August Summary and tidy up

Hey All

Back on track with a win of 14 units yesterday - still working things out but it was nice to have another winning day, hopefully it's a sign of things to come.

One of my two best bets, Rich Enuf, won as well so I'm sure my best bets would be in front - I'll have to work that out one day.

Main reason for the post today is that I've finally got my results database up to date, as at the end of August.  It's annoying to do but needs to be done, I'll catch up the last 2 weeks this week.  I did find a couple of mistakes in the process so the figures have changed a little on what I've been posting.

The first was a 5 unit refund on a bet that didn't come through until the Monday and I missed when working things out.  The other was an additional 2 unit bet on a horse by mistake - I've taken it out to make the numbers balance. More care needed going forward.

Here are the figures

5 Saturdays

2/8/14        4.5 units
9/8/14        5 units
16/8/14     -65 units
23/8/14     -4.5 units
30/8/14     -13 units

Overall -73 units (LOT -8.59%)

Total races 85
Winning races 39
Strike Rates 45.88%

Lays - loss of 15.5 units

So not the nicest figures.  The loss of 65 units of the 16th was the killer but days like that are part of punting, unfortunately. The strike rate is too low as I back multiple horses in most races, needs to lift.

As you know, I've already dumped the lays - not only did I lose on them but they also meant I had less on my winners in those races, when I found them.  This change will be known of as the Tiger Tees Tweak :)

There are 4 group races in Newcastle this week - 2 on Wednesday, 2 on Thursday so I'll be back then

All the best
