Stat of the Day Update: 24/03/14 to 12/04/14

March/April are often very difficult months for anyone to consistently pick winners and so it proved for both myself and Matt over the last few weeks.

We were actually pretty pleased/relieved (delete as applicable!) to escape from March with just a 5.44pts deficit and we’ve lost a similar amount so far this month, but we’ve plenty of time to correct that.

Racing is built on a series of hard-luck tales and we’ve had a few of our own over the last three weeks. Matt saw a couple of his selections beaten very narrowly, whilst i returned on Saturday and highlighted two 10/1 chances. One was a winner and one was unplaced. As Sod’s Law dictates, we were officially on the wrong one, but plenty of us made a dent into our recent losses with a saver.

The picks haven’t been as bad as the results suggest and we’re still well in profit after just posting our 800th selection at the weekend. Long-term profit is the plan and now we’ll kick on towards the 1,000 bet mark…
