A double edged sword!!

Well yesterday you can look at it one way or the other this time of year has proved extremely difficult in the past and many people of all levels and involvement from forum visitors to Racing post journalists have all got tales of the current tough times we are having finding winners/losers for the layers out there.
The Racing post tipping selection today has a wealth warning and just a singular each way advice so i can only pass this information along.
Yesterday was a point in question Jagger was a big hit for the lay bets but provided a 44 point profit on the sequence for the Fibionacci bets and subsequently broke the 1m 6f track record so although no solace for the layers the best horse actually won the race but the price was very big .
The 7/1 sp with the staking plan was more than welcome but with all laying activities prices such as these are a blight on the betting banks and can wipe out a huge chunk of profit when the respective animals win.
All i can do is give a general beware notice for the laying fraternity and to advise placing a lower level than normal on the prices you are prepared to lay at it happened to me last year and others are suffering this layers fate at this TIME OF YEAR.
Things will revert back but August is a tough month in all areas of betting.
With that said there are selections so down to business.
