So as a matter of record I should blog that for a better reflection next year. But I think one thing that did trick for me yesterday was, preparation.\u00a0I spent about 90 minutes in the morning trying to pick out races of interest and carefully planning a number of scenarios around what could unfold and what I would do. So that helped me pick a path through the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Overall it wasn&#8217;t a patch on my best ever boxing day, less than 40% of that total, but given the markets and the scenario in front of my it was a decent day. I also picked up some money using an automated strategy and had a decent day on Betdaq as well. Managed to trade the football OK as well, so many plus points. But that&#8217;s a pain as it means next year on Boxing day I&#8217;ll probably be sat here again; it seems there is still some progress to be made on the work life balance stuff!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/2013\/12\/27\/mission-not-impossible\/26-12-2013-pl-day-copy\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9420\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9420\" alt=\"26-12-2013 - P&amp;L Day - Copy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.betangel.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/26-12-2013-PL-Day-Copy.png\" width=\"353\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/26-12-2013-PL-Day-Copy.png 353w, https:\/\/www.betfairtradingblog.com\/blog_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/26-12-2013-PL-Day-Copy-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_9417\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"9417\" 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>So, after a tough day yesterday we look forward to an easier task today.
