Day 23… Shocker!

Hey all,

What a shocker of a day! ‘Pfft,’ I’m glad it’s over, honestly, I am.

I’ve had it all today: caught in-play twice—once on a small level and once pretty badly—plus an internet connection failure that nearly gave me a heart attack.

Some poor trades, losing my cool, and just general stress! But life goes on! Haha.

This is the moment when my connection completely cut out at match point!

I had to reset my router and pray that it didn’t go against me. Fortunately, the match was halted due to poor weather. After resetting my router, I just hedged up, although I’m not sure when the rest of the match will be played. I’ll probably give up on that one now, as the players are unlikely to continue playing exactly as they were.

On the other hand, the racing was an absolute disaster!

I became a bit emotionally attached to the market after being stung in-play, which led to a series of errors. They didn’t need to happen, but at least it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t cope with it.

I’m sure trying to juggle the horses and learn tennis at the same time will eventually pay off, and more…

The markets today, pre-race trading, felt really manipulated too.

I could see at points very large stakes working in conjunction with each other to force prices to go where they might not necessarily have gone—strange stuff. It probably didn’t help how I was feeling either.
