Last month was pretty quiet. When we are in depths of winter I often take some time off and prepare for the busy summer season and so it was last month.<\/p>\n
Summer is so<\/strong> important in sports markets that time off during this busy period is tricky, in the winter much less so. It is important to have a break, so winter is when I tend to do that. That said, a good friend of mine is getting married in the Summer and has invited overseas for a wedding spectacular, so it looks like I may take a week out during peak this year. This year will be different for me anyhow, but more about that on another post.<\/p>\n February actually went OK and I managed to beat December’s total, so that is very pleasing but December was a mare so a direct comparison isn’t valid. I’m fully refreshed now and raring to go at Cheltenham. March is all about Cheltenham really and if you do well then a good month on the cards. Do badly and a poor month is likely. I’m open minded about how it will go this year, each year it gets harder and, on a like for like basis, the average matched bet volume last year fell at a lot of the big meetings.\u00a0 This makes anticipating the conditions for this years meeting quite tricky.<\/p>\n However we do have a preview coming out in GX Magazine so check that out.<\/p>\n
