Nothing happening.

No updates since July...SLACK! *sigh*

Betfair trading: I traded a pathetic 26 races in August, losing 4 quid.  So far this month I have traded no races whatsoever.  I'm sacking off Betfair trading I think (wow that'll free a lot of time up for me!) I've realised the only way I may actually make a profit from it is to sit in front of every race, every day for a month or so and really throw myself into it so I can understand the markets.  Since theres no realistic way I can do that I don't think there's any point in dallying around with a couple of races per day, getting nowhere.

I may donk around with the £60 left in my Betfair account, but I won't be trying to learn to trade.  There's a thread on the Betangel forum alerting people whenever horses from a certain trainer are running (the "Curley Alert" thread) and it seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy that these runners have massive swings  (because everyone thinks/knows they will have massive swings).  I just traded one today and made a quick 3 quid without even trying as it gyrated from odds of 7.0 out to 20!  So I'll be looking out for more opportunities like that  to pounce on.

Poker: I've signed up for a couple of $25 free bankrolls but one has very nitty restrictions on what stakes I can play and the other hasn't come through yet.  I'll have to try and get a roll going but I'm really struggling for motivation, I've just got other things I prefer to do than play micro stakes poker.

Blog: Need to make this blog more interesting as it was only supposed to track my journey to high(er) stakes poker, and that hasn't happened. Trouble is I have no idea how to make it more readable. Hmmm  I could post pics of the MASSIVE pumpkins I've grown in my new garden.  That'll get you checking back, the promise of seeing my MASSIVE pumpkins.
