Good morning. Thanks again to tetley for his efforts on Friday on a very, very tricky day.

I had a `conversation` with a member in the Chatroom during the week discussing why – for me – there was a safety valve placed in the Strategy I undertake in the form of ew with potential shorties. Yesterdays *** bet was a good example. 7/4, 5/2 & 7/4 produced NO winners yet a winning bet. Vital to have these each way safeguards in combination betting. All three beaten very closely as well giving members opportunites to collect via `mine` laying.

Results have proved that we are on the right path so please keep persevering. There will be bad days of course yet overall by maintaining that discipline I can assure you that you will have a positive profit & Loss account at the end of the year.

Not much today and if I see other bets later I will either send another mail or post in the Chatroom.

Moon Indigo 15:55 Wetherby

Todays first horse returns to Hurdling and normally adopts a `Gung Ho` style so I really feel you could have a safe bet by using sensible mines for stake retrieval on both win and place. Personally I inflate the stakes a little to compensate for the `mines`.

Place laying is important here again so get the low `mines` in.

So, if you are not able to follow the above strategy on this blog bet, then just have a £17.50 each way single on Moon Indigo.
