After the glorious beginning for the Smoke and Mirrors horse racing system, dear reader, it appears that seven years bad luck may be upon those whose betting vanity leads them to look in the ‘Mirror’ too often.
What am I wittering on about exactly? Performance levels, that’s what! Friday saw a loss of £12.25 on the [...]

Well what can I say? I tip my hat to Lowlay again, as they come up with another cracker yesterday, when Ingleby Arch could only muster 6th place and 6 lengths behind the winner, whilst going off 3/1 second favourite. That makes it 12/12, [...]

Quick post, dear reader, to appraise you of yesterday’s performance from the Smoke And Mirrors system.
After such an excellent week to day, I guess a losing day was inevitable – especially with the nature of the system being somewhat volatile in that a big-priced winner (obviously) has a massive bearing on profit and loss. And [...]

Hi all. Day three of our Ultimate Forex Trader test and unfortunately nothing to play with.
There were two Red alerts and six Amber spread over the two trading zones yesterday, so according to the rules, a day to sit out.
As usual, however, I tracked the day to see how things went and we were rewarded [...]

Hi all.  Day two of our test.
A busy day yesterday…though nothing we could get involved in.
One of the rules we will be following is to check for economic news before we do anything else. As it turned out, the day was chock-full-’o-news! These announcements are graded for severity of market impact, with yellow, amber and red grades [...]

This is becoming a bit monotonous with yet another winner yesterday, making it 11/11, Lowlay are surely in the purplest of purple patches. Over the last 2 weeks there have been 13 winning bets out of 14 selections (almost 93% strike rate) at odds [...]

Just when you thought it wasn’t possible for the plot to get any thicker, dear reader, so the gravy consistency developed a viscosity more widely associated with treacle. That is to say, the plot just got thicker!
No sooner has James Burrows pulled down – or rather put up a ’sold out’ sign on – his [...]

Emotion can be a Forex trader’s worst enemy, so the idea of finding a point-and-click method which removes any human weakness from the equation is an attractive one. The Ultimate FX Predictor claims to be able to do just that and over the next month or so, I will be testing out those claims.
First impressions are [...]

Well I see Lowlay have been continuing their fantastic run while I have been away, another winning bet yesterday, that makes it 10 in a row, their best ever winning run. Excellent stuff! The selection, Mount Hadley, went off 2/1 fav but could only [...]
