Patience & Determination

I traded a few races tonight, won the first 6 races up to a tune of around £6 up so it's all good.
Until the final race, i was baffled by the markets reflection to the on course odds on the US markets.
I'm trading a horse which is around evens on course, at about 2.2 or 2.3 on betfair so you would think that a back is sensible, but looking at my picture you can realise that it wasn't. Betfair rose to a massive price pushing my red further and deeper...

Feeling pretty ill tonight, not too sure what it was from, so thought I’d lay off the revising and have a little dabble with the trading again.
Things are continuing to progress alright, mixing it up with stakes ranging between £10 and £50 if it’s a short priced favourite. Confidence is rising and I'm becoming more selective about my entries and exits points....

Hellooooooooooo!
Well I’ve had to have a break from trading due to revising for an exam, its miles away on the 9th of June but pretty tough, so it takes priority.
I’ve traded another handful of races tonight with a mixture of stakes ranging from £10 to £50 and it’s been great! Instead of taking positions then having the Muppet smash through me and take my dosh, I wait for him to appear and time my entry points...

Just a quick point of note after my earlier post from today:
On more than one occassion today a large amount of money was smashed through the market, around 1k, but not placed onto the ladder but literally smashed through it.
After my blunders from before i thought i'd trade a few more races and was trading a favourite using £50 stakes. Some total mentalist smashed 1k through the market and took a range of prices from about 2.00 all the way down to 1.80. but why not just...
