I&#8217;m soooo busy it&#8217;s difficult to know which way to look at times, but it&#8217;s great fun. I apologise if I&#8217;ve been a bit quieter recently, but I simply haven&#8217;t had the time to devote to updating the blog etc. I&#8217;ll be back soon, most likely after Wimbledon has completed.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s important to reflect that it&#8217;s not all about the big stuff. Ascot is gone and you may think so has the opportunity. But despite having a really good Ascot, I managed to put in another decent week last week on the Racing.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, all the stuff around the major meetings will be your bread and butter so it&#8217;s worth learning to cope with the vagaries that surround it. Typically it make be a little less predictable that the major meetings but the nature of it does present some good opportunities, you just have to be very patient and sometimes very alert.<\/p>\n<p>Last week threw\u00a0up some \u00a0decent opportunities and that helped boost what would have been a quieter week. So I think last week flattered what was available, but without practising and looking hard for these opportunities you will never find them.<\/p>\n<p>So a really good June, as forecast. I&#8217;ll start turning my attention to July proper once I get this week out of the way.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/2014\/07\/01\/just-big-stuff\/29-06-2014-pl-week-copy\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10043\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10043\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/29-06-2014-PL-Week-Copy-600x136.png\" alt=\"29-06-2014 - P&amp;L Week - Copy\" width=\"600\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/29-06-2014-PL-Week-Copy-600x136.png 600w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/29-06-2014-PL-Week-Copy-300x68.png 300w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/29-06-2014-PL-Week-Copy.png 604w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_10040\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"10040\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=betangel\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, we are in the thick of some major sporting action at the moment.
