'White out' on the cards

The cold spell looks like it will continue to grip the UK for the foreseeable future and today we saw the first 'all weather' meeting lost. That leaves us with one poor quality card at Lingfield and that doesn't look very appealing. It looks like it will be a tough month. Personally, unless things improve quickly I'll have no chance of reaching last years January total even without taking account of the additional 20% Betfair charge.

It's during these periods that I re-double my efforts to learn new tricks, practice them and look at other sports with more gusto. Soccer is still in full swing and I don't find it too hard to drag some money out of that, but my main focus is Tennis. The new season is about to kick off soon with the Australian open. I have been re-appraising my knowledge ahead of that.

All those points aside have a look at the graphic on this post. This is how 2008 panned out from a meetings perspective. You can see the troughs during Dec, Jan and Feb. So when the weather wipes out the card just remember how busy you will be in the summer and enjoy the time you currently have. I went out for a walk with the kids this morning, fed some horses and enjoyed the remnants of the snow showers. Much fun!
