You Know You're On A Roll When........

..... you post a quick blog post before going out for the day, and then get distracted by Mrs B's indecision regarding her choice of coat, make a late decision to also lay Bolton and Everton, but forget to place that £100ish lay on Aston Villa.

Two months ago, I'd have forgotten the Portsmouth lay rather than the Villa lay. That's betting life for you. It may all even itself out in the long term, but luck (good or bad) does seem to come in chunks.

Incidently, the horse racing profit came mainly from a lay of Cesare, in the 1.00 at Doncaster, taken on with assistance from the PG's Tips blog. I may be no racing expert, but there are a few out there in blogland who know considerably more than I do. I use Google Reader to keep track of a large number of blogs, and there's plenty of helpful information available if you're prepared to spend a few minutes each day reading updates.

  1. Thanks for the mention, Rob. I haven't seen the race but during C4's coverage later in the afternoon Jim McGrath said Cesare had jumped well and was up to winning a hurdle race. In contrast Teletext quoted Cesare's jockey Paul Moloney: "He doesn't stay. He jumped great but I think he'll struggle."

  2. Following on from the above, trainer James Fanshawe more than prepared to give Cesare another chance http://tinyurl.com/ycuk6fu
