None
No bets today and I’ve not looked at today’s racing at all. Couldn’t really bring myself to look at today after yesterday and I can’t believe how hard I’m making this for myself and all of you. I shouldn’t probably admit this but I’ve not even been in the forum since yesterday morning as I’m a bit afraid to look in but I’ll catch up once I write this email. Can’t hide forever!
When I was writing yesterday’s email, my one thought was that I couldn’t have a really poor day as if that happened, it was the first nail in the coffin. Well, it’s getting to the stage now where I need a comeback of biblical proportions as yesterday was the one day of the year I didn’t want to have a bad day and simply, I had a shit day, read a few things wrongly, read a few horses wrongly and 7 points gone on the day.
I’m intelligent enough to know that poor days happen and as always, in the context of the overall service, one day doesn’t matter but at the moment, every day matters to us and as the bank dwindles down to an unbelievable level, I know time is running out.
I said it yesterday but something needs to click and simply, it needs to click quickly or I’m finished. I’ve made this promise before but if the recommended bank goes bust, I’m done as a tipster. I still don’t think I can blow a 100pt bank but being honest, before August, I’d never lost any more than 42pts in any poor spell. We’ll soon be at double that.
I know as well as all of you that with one or two winners it can all turn but it’s simply a matter of time now. I’ve worked my ass off for 14 months now to build this service up and provide a service I can be proud of and therefore, to see it disintegrate before my eyes is unbelievably hard to take. For those of you who have been here for a long time, it must also be hard to watch this happen and after building up great profits on the flat in the summer, we’re giving it back with interest now.
It would be easy to think I should draw a line and put myself out of this misery along with all of you but I think I’ve deserved this opportunity and therefore, I will keep working as hard as I can and hoping that something clicks before it’s too late. I said this 6 months ago and I’m sure I’ve said it again since but if someone can get out of this, it’s me! I’ve did it before and simply, I know I can do it again.
Yesterday, Midnight Haze ran a shocker even though it was 3rd as it didn’t travel well at all. It still ran the best race of the bunch! The two risky weaker bets pulled up but both had a bit of a hit and miss profile, so I wasn’t totally surprised. The two bets that obviously disappointed me were the two 2pt bets and both didn’t run any sort of race. Both should have been suited by the soft going but neither seemed to appreciate it at all even though they have in the past and it was a bad read by me in both cases.
Tomorrow sees the start of a new week and we’ll see what happens. I know all of you are feeling as bad as me and losing money is as bad as losing a service and a possible career but as I’ve said before, we’re all in this together. You’re all effectively here until the death or reincarnation now, so it is either the case the service dies or it turns around and in time, we look back on this run and laugh about it.
Good luck today.
