A few weeks I got a phone call from a number I didn’t recognise. It was Betfair telling me I was now going to pay 60% of my profit to them. Or not as it turned out!<\/p>\n

I tagged a name to that number so if they phoned again I would know who it was. Yesterday that number rang again, right in the middle of trading, thanks. What could Betfair be doing phoning me in the middle of Goodwood? Curious I shoved the phone under my shoulder, pressed it against my cheek and carried on trading. It turns out they were chasing payment on a negative balance.<\/p>\n

A bit worried I qualified the conversation, “Negative balance, how much?”. It turns out they were chasing me for \u00a319.46!! I’ve run up negative balances in the past but generally for large four figure numbers and never got chased hard for that. So very surprised to get a phone call and email for \u00a319.46!<\/p>\n

Anyhow, Goodwood went well yesterday and I had a good day overall which is reassuring. The drift on Canford Cliffs was amazing!! Been out early this morning with the kids and I’m fired up for a good session today.<\/p>\n
