Taking it on the chin

Guess what? Yet more losses today, that makes 10 losing days in a row. All losers today, a sorry tale of woe. The only consolation, scant though it is, is that I missed Tipping Legends' and HBI's first bets of the day, which were both losers.

I am starting to wonder if those who have been involved in the game longer than me can remember such a poor run across the board from big-name tipsters. I am slightly in shock and am going to be cutting my stakes now for Tipping Legends along with the all the cuts made yesterday. I feel a little bit like a company in the throws of recession that has to lay off staff and reduce wages to enable it to stay afloat. Only with this its reducing stakes rather than wages, and cutting services rather than staff.

My plan is to reduce the stakes and ride out this storm as best I can, minimizing losses until things are back on track. Something strange is going on, whether its the freaky weather, tipsters having their minds on xmas and not the horses, or some other factor at work, I dont know. But whilst it is going on I dont want to be wiped out completely. Maybe a break over xmas and some time for reflection will lead to an improvement in form for the tipsters in the New Year. In the meantime I will be concentrating on my own betting for a while, particularly football trading which I have been getting into lately.
