Jorvik's 2015 Flat Season

[Sheerluck Holmes]

Hi all, So, the flat is back (just about!) so it's time to start a new thread. This will focus solely on the flat turf and primarily on 5f-1m 4yo+ handicaps, although there will also be a fair amount of other events thrown in too. I've got a 50 point betting bank set aside and this is spread between Bet365, Bet Victor, Coral & Paddy Power. All bets will take advantage of BOG which are offered by all those bookies. Will update P/L reguarly. Bring on Donny! :) Edit: Will update this first post with P/L: [TABLE=border: 0, cellpadding: 0, cellspacing: 0, width: 248] [TR] [TD=colspan: 2]31 August 2015[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Bets[/TD] [TD]206[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Winners (Win & E/W)[/TD] [TD]28[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Placed (E/W)[/TD] [TD]7[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Total Staked (pts)[/TD] [TD]200.50[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Overall P/L (pts)[/TD] [TD]+16.47[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Strike Rate[/TD] [TD]13.6%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Yield[/TD] [TD]8.2%[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD] [/TD] [TD] [/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Mar & Apr[/TD] [TD]+2.61[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]May[/TD] [TD]+12.36[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jun[/TD] [TD]+2.46[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Jul[/TD] [TD]-12.18[/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Aug[/TD] [TD]+11.22[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

Re: Jorvik's 2015 Flat Season So here we go, as part of my new found discipline (:rollin ) I've avoided the Brocklesby - usually love a sentimental bet on the first event of the flat season but keeping the powder dry this time. There's plenty more races to lose money on ... 2.35 Doncaster (11 runners) Astaire looks to have been found a perfect opportunity to re-ignite his career. Highly tried last year and never really landing a blow, this is much more suitable and should take all the beating with with conditions fine (even if the rain does come). Astaire 1pt Win @ 3/1 BetVictor 3.10 Doncaster (22 runners) Buckstay may be 0/12 on the turf, but is usually consistent and runs his race. Today is the first time a claimer has been used and the 7lbs off puts him on a handy mark. Bucktay 0.5pt E/W @ 10/1 BetVictor 3.45 Doncaster (22 runners) A really interesting Lincoln, but not one for getting too carried away with, so a small wager on Fire Ship who looks high enough in the weights but has been running well in better company than this and claimer should keep him competitive on a straight course he will enjoy (1213347). Fire Ship 0.5pt E/W @ 33/1 BetVictor
