Dogs gave us almost nothing today. +3u. Flat.

US horses +10u so far tonight.

WON · BSP 1.87 · +3u

Two ticks shorter and there's no bet.

Crafty Can Do · trap 1 · 21:28 Nottingham

We took 7.50 (min 6.71) · +20% EV · 2u
WON · BSP 5.79 · +13u

A 29.5% overlay on the close.

A member got 7.00, not our 7.50 — still above the 6.71 floor, so still a bet. That's exactly what the floor is for.

Two out, two in on the US horses.

Kissedbyanangel 6.00 (closed 3.90) · +5u
Define 4.00 (closed 3.62) · +6u

+20u on the day. Both went off shorter than the price we took.

That's the week +100u net — with Thursday's −17 still in the total.

We took 17.00. It closed 10.66.

Trinity · 19:08 Laurel Park
Posted 17.00 (min 11.88) · +66% EV · 1u EW
WON · BSP 10.66 · +9.6u

A 59% overlay on the close. By the off it was trading under our own minimum — that gap is the whole job.

Three in a row on the dogs. All three beat the closing line.

Romantic Bingo 2.50 (closed 2.30)
Pomba Flo 3.75 (closed 2.46)
Stormy Mbappe 2.75 (closed 1.77)

+8.5u. Average overlay +38.8%.

A member put all three in a treble — £30 back to £442.

The one that did it: Not For Long, 23:59 Churchill Downs.

6/1 — that's 7.00. A member had £200 on and took £1,400 back. Their staking, not ours.

That's why the US book finished +14u on a day the dogs were −31u.

[The Rail @TheRailBets]

The dogs cost us 31 units yesterday. The US horses gave 14 back.

−17u on the day.

Two books. One was wrong, one wasn't — so 31 became 17. That doesn't make a losing day a winning one, it makes it a smaller one.

Second red day we've put up.

We backed a four-fold we didn't rate. It came in anyway.

Everton 1.50 · Lyon 2.25 · Villa 2.20 · Lugano 1.90
£45 → £636.73

Beat a bookmaker and they limit you. Mugging keeps the account alive — and most people lose money doing it. We've found the solution.

@RacingTV @JosephOBrien2 @irishkor The Arc price you want is the one before the trial, not after it.

Once a Blandford win is in the book the market has already done the adjusting for you. She'll never be as big again — which is rather the point.

[The Rail @TheRailBets]

@racingblogger Money moving a price is a signal, not a fact.

Heavily gambled, shortened right up, and the one thing that actually mattered was never in the price at all. Markets are usually right — "usually" doing a lot of work there.

[The Rail @TheRailBets]

@RacingTV 5-2f, so the market had him at roughly a 28% chance.

July Cup over 6f and then the Flying Five over 5f in the same season is a rare profile, and rare profiles are usually where the prices are softest. Proper sprinter.

Sunday cost us 22 units. 🐶

53 tips, 12 winners — our worst day of the week.

The week still came out +76.2u from 527 tips. 140 winners, 26.6% strike, 10.5% ROI, 4 of 7 days green.

Three red days in there too. They get posted the same as the green ones.
