The result was that I managed another month up on the prior year and in fact I somehow managed to beat June, which is a bit weird. I was active on 871 races during the month, so it was still quite a busy month. Biggest individual race topped \u00a31.1k and my worst loss was just short of \u00a3300. My strike rate has slipped a little in the last couple of months as I  have experimented with some more adventurous trading strategies, but it  is more or less stable overall and well in comfortable territory.<\/p>\n<p>Early on in the month I went past my full year total for last year so I have two months to add to the total. My return on turnover is creeping up a little, this really shouldn&#8217;t be the case. I think I know the reason why and it&#8217;s nothing to do with me, it&#8217;s more a general market thing.<\/p>\n<p>November isn&#8217;t high up on the best months of the year, but certainly isn&#8217;t at the bottom. As we move into December things normally slow right down and opportunities become less apparent. Champions league football will soon take a break and racing will peak on Boxing day. From there its downhill all the way!<\/p>\n<p>December is likely to be a tough month and is off to a less than perfect start, but I&#8217;ll plug away and see if I can end the year with a flourish. I have already put a lot of thought into next year, so I&#8217;ll start preparing the ground for that this month.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3136\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3136\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3136\" title=\"101127 - 1505 - Hennessy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/101127-1505-Hennessy-600x248.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/101127-1505-Hennessy-600x248.png 600w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/101127-1505-Hennessy-300x124.png 300w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/101127-1505-Hennessy.png 658w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Last big race of the month gave a decent result<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_3127\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"3127\" 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>That was an interesting month.
