Racecourse trading guides, race selection video and shortlist done and uploaded for members in the Bfp Daily Info Telegram Room. Had a bonus day off yesterday and may have a look at the odd race today but will see how I feel later on but whatever your doing today Have a good one

4th December 2023

A bonus day off today with just the one meeting at Wolves on this evening, its been a very good year. I’m not that desperate that I need to get involved in that on a Monday evening. Happy to keep the powder dry for something better later in the week. I didn’t trade yesterday but the members did keep the show on the road with a couple of simple trades. Well done everyone.

2nd December 2023

Found today a bit of a frustrating day with all the non runners, fences etc omitted and change in start times but manged to get an easy safe trade and was happy to finish there and just enjoy the rest of the racing.

No trading for me tomorrow, I like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference.

1st December 2023

Day off today with only one meeting on this afternoon and on a track that I don’t really like to trade, was an easy decision to have a bonus day off. These are the days that make a big difference to your annual P&L even though nothing goes on the P&L. Not just trading out of boredom, this is work for us, its how we make our living and pay the bills and rather then think I much money I could have made trading, I prefer to think of how much money I didn’t loose trading out of boredom. We have kept mind, bank and confidence intact to pick the battles we know we can win.

May well be the same tomorrow but will see after all the inspections, I am hoping for another day off, the month / annual profit is not built around a couple of days its all about, long term, safe, consistent trading. Well done everyone. Time to get the sledge out with my granddaughter, Enjoy the day off everyone.

30th November 2023

A decent end to what has been a very good month and we go into the busy December period in good shape to hopefully round off what has been a very good year in style. Well done everyone. We all start back on zero from tomorrow and will have to do it all over again. Enjoy the rest of the day.

29th November 2023

A day for patience and discipline but as usually it was eventually rewarded with a nice safe easy bread and butter trade. Well done everyone.

28th November 2023

A steady away sort of day, and the sort of a day that could catch you out if you weren’t in control of patience and discipline. The rest of the weeks meetings look decent as we head to the last few days of the month. Well done everyone. Enjoy your evening

27th November 2023

A decent day with a couple of straightforward trades and out well before the halfway stage before the markets get warm to start the week and take us into the last few days of what has been a good month, although not sure todays profit covered Mrs Bs shopping trip to York on Saturday but put a little dent in it. Well done everyone. Enjoy your evening.

25th November 2023

Decent day to finish the week for members and myself with the markets offering us a few decent safe opportunities and we were ready to take them. No trading for me tomorrow, I like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Well done everyone. Have a great weekend.

24th November 2023

Another steady bread and butter for members and myself, a decent safe trade to cover the takeaway and take us into the weekend and the last few days of what has been a good month in good shape. Well done everyone

23rd November 2023

A steady day to take us to the last day of the week and into the weekend. November has been very good month has we head into the last week of the month and towards December which is always a busy month. Well done everyone

22nd November 2023

Shortlist & race selection video done. A decent day yesterday. Will be a day off for me today as its Mrs B birthday and have been told I’m taking her out for lunch. Hopefully members will have a day like yesterday. Good luck everyone

21st November 2023

A decent day today as we head towards the last week of the month. A few straight forward trades today, no dramas with Betfair behaving itself and the members all on good form trading. Well done everyone.

20th November 2023

Doesn’t happen to often to us as we are selective in what we trade but did get caught with a Betfair freeze just after I entered today. Turned out well in the end but will have to take a blood pressure pill and have a lay down for an hour now Wont trade anymore today

19th November 2023

Membership to the BFP Trading Academy has just opened for next months intake. Places usually become available each month for a number of reasons, life can often take us on a different path to what we intended and is always changing and I try and keep numbers fairly stable so if we loose 2 members during the month then 2 places will become available etc.

One of the places available this month was due to a successful member having to go down a different path but as is often the case I get a nice email that makes running the academy very satisfying. Below is a screenshot of the email I received and and I wish him and his family all the very best health, happiness and good fortune for the future. He will be very welcome back anytime. Good luck.

18th November 2023

A decent steady day to finish the week, with a couple of easy safe trades and the members had a good day. No trading for me tomorrow, I like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference.

Race selection video, shortlist & all the trading racecourse guides done for members so I can enjoy the rest of the day now Lots of distractions on a Saturday with plenty of racing, football and family stuff etc so always have a plan and stick to it Have a super Saturday everyone

17th November 2023

I missed trading this afternoon as my Son had a car problem so I got the expensive job of going to help him out. Luckily we have a great bunch of very good traders in the Bfp trading room that kept the show on the road. Well done everyone. Enjoy your evening.

16th November 2023

A decent day today after a day off yesterday. The shortlist looked decent before racing and was a few courses I liked today to trade, but doesn’t always follow that opportunities will appear, all you can do is, have a plan and stick to it and make sure you are ready for when opportunities present themselves, just so happens today was one of those days. Well done everyone.

15th November 2023

Not the most inspiring looking day. Could be a bonus day off

14th November 2023

Most months are made up of 7 good days, 14 bread and butter days and 7 days of nothing much, a bit life most months in life in general. Today was one of the good days and its important to make sure that mind, bank and confidence are intact to make the most of these days when they come along. They are not that difficult to trade but many are only on half a bank or stakes when they come along and fail to capitalise on them but not for most Bfp members. Well done everyone.

13th November 2023

Steady start to the week. With all the rain around it may prove to be a week to test the patience and discipline as quite a few meeting either off or calling inspections. Nothing we can do about it, but its very important to just control the things you can and accept the things you cant.

12th November 2023

11th November 2023

A good end to the week and will manage an extra poppadum or two. Nice to see members having another good day and November continuing to provide plenty of decent safe opportunities as the jumps season gets into full swing and nice to get the wages in nice and early so can just sit back with a cuppa and enjoy the rest of the afternoons racing.

10th November 2023

A decent day to finish of the week and take us into the weekend, the jump racing is building momentum with some decent horses coming out. Well done to all the members. Have a great evening.

9th November 2023

Nice steady start to the day with a very easy safe trade at Newbury.

Shortlist & race selection video done. A steady day yesterday and a similar day today will do nicely. A couple of tracks I like to trade today and nice looking cards. Whatever you doing today Have a great day

7th November 2023

A steady bread and butter sort of a day but we squeezed a bit of profit out of the day to add to the pot. Nice and safe but nothing exciting. Some good racing but very competitive and hard to find an edge today but that’s trading. Well done everyone.

6th November 2023

A great start to the week for members and myself, a nice safe easy trade and out well before halfway adding to the safety. As a little bonus it was an early race so have plenty of time for a little nana nap, keep the profits nice and safe. Well done everyone

5th November 2023

No trading for me today as always take Sundays off but still nice to get a couple of messages from members today and yesterday as get a great deal of pleasure from seeing members doing well and progressing.

4th November 2023

A decent day to finish the week off for me as, no trading for me tomorrow, I like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference.

Nice to see the members having a decent day, with a week to test the patience with all the meetings off but as always patience and discipline was rewarded with a decent day. Well done everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Nice trade from David aka @drainrun on Twitter who has been a member for over 3 years. His trading blog and Bfp review well worth a read.

Should you wish to read a review on Bfp by David who has been a profitable member for over three years now I have attached a link below.

3rd November 2023

Fantastic win for Bfp horse Vitarli last night at Newcastle. A super tough filly getting her head back in front after a super run the time before and making is all a few quid.

2nd November 2023

Decent day to get November underway. One small bread and butter trade to get the day started then had to wait a while between drinks for another decent opportunity to appear but. was worth the wait and out on both long before the danger zone. Well done everyone.

Racecourse trading guides, race selection video & shortlist done & uploaded for members. Blank day yesterday with Fakenham off after the first, looks a lot better day today. Have a great day

A steady start to the day, wont be doing anything exciting on what looks a sparse sort of a day and don’t want anything scary on Halloween. Will be very happy to finish on the one for today, on the last day of what has been a very good month and as its wages day wont be giving them any of this months profits back.

30th October 2023

Back to work today after a day off yesterday Shortlist & race selection video done, bit of a sparse looking day but there could be a decent trade lurking in there somewhere. Last couple of days of what has been a very good month. Whatever you doing today Have a great day

28th October 2023

A nice steady day to finish the week off for members and myself. Saturdays not my favourite trading days as lots of distractions and can be hard to find the wood for the trees but we managed to find a couple of easy safe trades and although I didn’t do it, Will and Alastair even managed to lay one that had already fallen at 5s. Well done everyone Have a great weekend.

Had the day off yesterday as finally got my tooth sorted and first decent nights sleep in a week so in good form for what looks a decent Saturday card.

26th October 2023

Steady bready and butter trade today and have to finish early for a emergency dentist appointment so will take a nice easy one to cover the wages and members are having a decent day which is always a bonus.

Did manage to sneak another one in after the dentists to cover the cost of the appointment, which eased the pain a bit, don’t know what hurt more the toothache or paying the bill.

25th October 2023

Took the day off today with only Newmarket this afternoon and Kempton this evening, not the most inspiring days racing so easy decision to take the day off and keep mind, bank and confidence intact, taking decisions like this wont show up anything on your annual P&L but can make a big difference to it as you wont be tempted to go looking for trades out of boredom, far better to just enjoy a bonus day off.

24th October 2023

Steady start to the week, a safe trade yesterday and a couple of easy bread and butter trades today for members and myself. Well done everyone.

23rd October 2023

Had to have a little bit of patience today but we were all rewarded with a nice simple trade to start the week and take us into the last week of the month in what has been a very good month.

Back to work today after a day off yesterday Shortlist & race selection video done Heading into the last week of what has been a very good month. Whatever you doing today Have a great day

21st October 2023

A nice end to the week with a decent trade at Ascot, out nice and early before the race hotted up, always good if you can get a nice one at Ascot due to the extra liquidity and can finish nice and early and just enjoy the rest of the racing. No trading for me tomorrow as like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference.

Always nice to get a positive message from a long term members as Will aka Run like a drain posted in the telegram room this morning, Will has worked hard over the years and has been green every month for well over 3 years now. You can read his blog by following the link below https://runlikeadrain.com/chalk-cheese-from-3-years-ago/

A good run from Bfp horse Vitarli last night at Newcastle just beaten a head at 25/1 and on a course more likely to suit her strengths it was a very profitable e/w second for us. Many Thanks to Sam James and Craig Lidster.

20th October 2023

Looks like it will be a bonus day off trading today. Its like when the schools got shut for a day for no heating, the simple joys in life. If your out and about today Take care and have a good one.

https://backforprofit.com/membership-join/

A nice message to brighten up a dreary day from a member who has been with us since the start of the year and has just finished for October as he is going on Holiday to Cape Verdi for 2 weeks. Has just completed 7 green months in a row with his profit increasing month on month and October being his best month so far even though its a short month for him. Great progress and nice to see his hard work getting the rewards it deserves with lots to look forward to in the months and into the new year. Well done. Have a great Holiday.

19th October 2023

Steady day for member and myself, a few bread and butter opportunities today, nice and safe and out nice and early to add to what has been a very good week, as we head towards the weekend. Well done everyone. Enjoy the evening.

18th October 2023

Shortlist & race selection video done & uploaded into the Bfp Daily Info Room for the members. A decent day yesterday so will take the day off today as still full of cold and there looks better racing later in the week. Good luck everyone Whatever you doing today Have a great day

17th October 2023

Did manage to look at a few races later on for an hour today, after going back to bed for a while with a cold or something, was rewarded with a decent trade that members and myself got and many members got an even better one earlier so all in all ,a decent day and certainly eases the cold symptoms. Well done everyone.

Shortlist & race selection video done & uploaded into the Bfp Daily Info Room for the members. Going to take the day off myself today as full of cold or something but hopefully Bfp members will keep the show on the road Good luck everyone Whatever you doing today Have a great day

16th October 2023

Shortlist & race selection video done Heading into the 2nd half of the month and will happily take the 2nd half as good as the 1st half Not a lover of the tracks today so will take the day off trading as full of cold too. Whatever you doing today Have a great day

15th October 2023

No trading for me today as always take Sunday`s off to spend with the family but the members that were trading today had a decent day. A big well done to a member that sent me a private message, wont embarrass them my including the name, who has been a solid £500 + trader week in week out for a long time now but hasn’t quite hit 1k in a week yet although getting very close now and that’s near enough for me. Well done to you and all the members. Have a great Sunday evening.

14th October 2023

Steady day to finish off the week and got the takeaway covered. No trading for me tomorrow as like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Well done to all the members, a very good October so far. Have a great weekend everyone.

13th October 2023

No trading for me today as going out for a family meal at lunchtime so hopefully Bfp members will have a similar day to yesterday and keep the ship a float with no disasters on Friday the 13th. Good luck everyone.

12th October 2023

Will be a couple of days off trading for me, as to celebrate 50 years since my granddaughters school opened they are having a 70s disco this afternoon for the little ones and I have been told I must attend but don’t need to get dressed up as I look like a throwback from the 70s anyway. Not looking forward to it but hopefully the members will keep the Bfp show on the road. Good luck everyone.

Nothing for me today as took the day off but the members were on good form with a few decent trades to keep a decent month rolling on. Well done everyone.

11th October 2023

None of us did any trades yesterday as was just one of those days that presented no safe opportunities and those are the days that make the biggest difference to your annual profit and loss by holding your nerve and not gambling.

Patience and discipline was rewarded today with a steady trade then had to babysit my granddaughter and the members managed to get a few more later in the day. Well done everyone.

9th October 2023

Nice steady start to the week for members and myself, out with well over a circuit to go giving extra safety before the markets get volatile and can finish in plenty of time to enjoy a nice afternoon in the garden. Well done everyone. Enjoy the rest of the day.

7th October 2023

A good day to finish off the week for members and myself, with a nice simple trade and will call it a day after that, with the takeaway covered and can enjoy some decent autumn weather in the garden. No trading for me tomorrow as like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Well done to all the members, a very good start to October. Have a great weekend everyone.

6th October 2023

Had to have a bit of patience today as we had to wait nearly an hour before we got a decent safe opportunity but we were ready when it did and a nice trade to take us into the weekend in good shape with covered the takeaway.

5th October 2023

Managed to get a couple of trades in between doing some admin. Warwick is a course that I like and it proved a good day for members and myself with a few easy trades and out nice and early before the markets get volatile, giving us extra safety. October has started very profitable as the jumps season starts to get underway. Well done everyone.

Managed to do the second trade twice, was fully out early and then went in again as the price came in and was still out on the second trade nice and early, so it was really two separate trades, which some of the more experienced traders in the room did something similar.

4th October 2023

Did sneak a trade in later on yesterday and managed a nice easy early one today so I can get back to some admin for the rest of the day. A good start to the month for members and myself. Well done everyone.

Did manage to sneak another trade in on the following race at Bangor before getting on with the admin.

2nd October 2023

Nice start to the week / month for members and myself. A nice simple trade for me at Newton Abbot to start the month on the right note. Well done everyone.

Good day to finish off the week and month for members and myself. A nice little trade for me in Ireland to cover the takeaway and nice to see one of last months new members starting off in the right direction and finishing the month as a winner. No trading for me tomorrow as always take Sundays off to spend some quality time with the family. Have a great weekend everyone.

29th September 2023

Nice start to the day for members and myself with a very simple trade at Gowran and out well before halfway. May just leave it there for today and keep the profits safe as we approach the end of the month and weekend.

https://backforprofit.com/membership-join/

A steady away day so far. Just the one straightforward trade for members and myself. Will do another hour but the mindset is to protect what is already in the bank but will add to it if anything comes up that’s safe to enter if it doesn’t happy to keep the profits safe.

27th September 2023

26th September 2023

Not the most inspiring looking day but we all managed to get a decent trade, that was identified early and wages in and out well before halfway Well done everyone. Enjoy the evening.

25th September 2023

Nice start to the week for Bfp members and myself, continuing what has been a good month as we head into the transition period from flat to jumps. Will protect todays profit by enjoying some afternoon autumn sunshine in the garden. Well done everyone. Enjoy the rest of the day.

Back to work today after a day off yesterday and heading into the last week of what has been a good month. Nice to start the week with a nice message from a member. Have a great week everyone.

23rd September 2023

A steady day to finish off the week for members and myself, with a couple of nice bread and butter, simple trades and out well before the danger zone. No trading for me tomorrow as like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Well done to all the members, a very good September so far as we head into the last week of the month. Have a great weekend everyone.

22nd September 2023

Trappy sort of a day and some very strange races at Newton Abbot today. Was certainly a day to test the patience but did get a trade in the last race on my list to cover the takeaway although would class it as quite an advanced trade as a lot going on in the race to consider. A big well done to all the members who didn’t get a trade today, was a difficult day and you have kept, mind, bank and confidence intact keeping you in good shape to go into the weekend. Its a far better feeling going to bed tonight with a blank day than blowing a bank gambling as many do. Well done.

21st September 2023

A blank day for me today, didn’t do a trade as was nothing safe enough on my shortlist that I was prepared to enter but as it was a lovely sunny afternoon I did get the grass cut. The members did get a nice easy one after Id packed up for the day.

20th September 2023

Another steady safe bread and butter day with just the one trade although missed a few other trades and a decent one that members got due to being on the phone sorting out running plans for some Bfp horses. Happy with the week so far and as we head towards the end of the month September has been one of the best months of the year financially.

19th September 2023

Steady sort of bread and butter day today for members and myself but we chipped away making a few quid to keep September rolling along nicely for when the jumps season kicks in proper next month. Well done everyone

18th September 2023

That was a nice start to the week and out just after the 25% of the race market, making it nice and safe and can make it a short trading day and keep the profits safe, well intime for a nana nap Well done all Bfp members

16th September 2023

Saturdays not my favourite trading day as find, to much going on and a few race delays and the day soon turns into a bit of a mess so its important to keep calm and have a plan. Patience paid off with a simple trade to finish the week off well and cover the takeaway. No trading for me tomorrow as always take Sundays off to spend some quality time with the family. Have a great weekend everyone.

15th September 2023

A decent day for members and myself. Quite a few decent safe opportunities today to take us into the weekend in good shape and continuing what has been a profitable month so far. Well done everyone. Have a great evening.

14th September 2023

You never know when opportunities will appear the most important thing is to be mentally ready, with mind, bank and confidence intact when they do. Didn’t fancy today and was very selective with the races I was prepared to have a look at but turned, patience and discipline was rewarded and turned into a decent day for members and myself. Well done everyone.

Racecourse guides race selection video & shortlist done Not a lover on the afternoon tracks from a trading perspective may just do an hours trading around 4-30 Most important thing for me today is to protect the mind bank & confidence Whatever your doing today Have a great one

Not to be for Vitarli yesterday but that’s racing and she is home safe and sound which is the most important thing. She is a lot better filly than that and there will be other days in her. Never mind back to the day job of trading today.

13th September 2023

Will be day off from trading today as we have a Bfp runner when Vitarli heads to Carlisle for The Nursery at 14-40. She already has some good form in the book, her come back run after a break will have brought her on and this looks like a more suitable track and trip so hopeful of a decent run but as long as she comes home safe and sound anything after that will be a bonus although do think she is on a decent mark and has a live chance.

Sam’s comments after her comeback run at Ripon.

12th September 2023

Quiet day yesterday, didn’t do a trade as busy with some of my own horses and we have a runner tomorrow as Vitarli heads to Carlisle for the nursery with a real chance. Members had a decent day and received a lovely message from Ross which always make the day

9th September 2023

A decent day to finish off the week for members and myself, with a couple of nice simple trades and out well before the danger zone. No trading for me tomorrow as like to take one day off a week to spend some quality time with the family. If I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then doing 7 isn’t going to make any difference. Well done to all the members, a very good September so far. Have a great weekend everyone.

Always nice to get messages from members doing well as it was today from one of the best traders in the room, I wont embarrass him by putting the name up but he is a top trader that’s been consistently profitable week in week out for along time now. We have many top traders in the room now but most importantly they are all very nice people and its great to see them getting the rewards they deserve.

7th September 2023

After a couple of quiet days, patience was rewarded with a couple of nice safe easy trades to keep September heading in the right direction and I even managed to highlight one just as they jumped off and all done in plenty of time to enjoy some sunshine. Well done to all the members. Patience and discipline is always rewarded.

Couldn’t resist one more before hitting the sun lounger to round off a good safe profitable day for members and myself. Well done everyone.

6th September 2023

Haven’t entered any markets yet this week. Happy to just sit back and wait for suitable, safe trading opportunities to come along and they will, maybe not today but they will. What we do is always about making money, safely and consistently, professional, profitable trading, not having fun, its work. Most important thing is to keep Bank Mind Confidence intact and be ready when they do.

2nd September 2023

A nice simple trade to finish the week off and continue the good start to September. A day off trading tomorrow as like to take one day off a week and spend some quality time with the family & if I cant make a living trading 6 days a week I cant see how doing 7 days is going to make any difference. Whatever your doing over the weekend have a good one

1st September 2023

Great start to the month for members and myself and a nice easy short day. Lots to look forward to in September, well done all the members enjoy the rest of the day with wages in and the takeaway covered.

Start of a new month after a very good August for Bfp Members and myself and will quite happily take the same again in September. Race selection video, shortlist and race course guides all done and in the Bfp Daily Info Telegram Room for members and looks a decent day to start the month off with. Goodluck everyone this month as we head towards the jump season picking up pace.

29th August 2023

Will be day off from trading today as we have a Bfp runner when Vitarli heads to Ripon for The Nursery at 15-25. She already has some good form in the book but is coming back from a minor injury so as long as she comes home safe and sound anything after that will be a bonus although do think she has a winnable mark going forward.

28th August 2023

Race selection video, shortlist & all the trading racecourse guides done for members so I can enjoy the rest of the day now. Lots of distractions on a Bank Holiday with plenty of racing and family stuff so always have a plan and stick to it Have a super Bank Holiday everyone

27th August 2023

A day off trading today as like to take one day off a week and spend some quality time with the family & if I cant make a living trading 6 days a week I cant see how doing 7 days is going to make any difference. Whatever your doing today have a good one

Had to wait nearly an hour for a decent safe opportunity today but that’s trading, patience and discipline are always reward eventually and we got a nice one to finish the week and cover the takeaway. Well done all Bfp members who have had a decent day. Have a great weekend.

Race selection video, shortlist & all the trading racecourse guides done for members so I can enjoy the rest of the day now. Lots of distractions on a Saturday with plenty of racing, football and family stuff so always have a plan and stick to it Have a super Saturday everyone

25th August 2023

Racecourse guides, race selection video and shortlist done for members today. Not a lover on the afternoon tracks from a trading perspective but some great racing to watch, so may do a couple of hours trading between 16-15 and 18-20 Whatever your doing today Have a great one

A straightforward trade for me in the first race on my list then kept the profits safe and called it a day after that race although members finished off what has been a great days racing to watch and a profitable trading session with another one later on.

23rd August 2023

Bfp members had a very profitable week in my absence, to many messages from the Bfp Trading room to put the whole weeks up but they finished off with a nice day yesterday. There are some top class traders in the room and even nicer that they are all a very friendly helpful group. Well done everyone, makes taking time for a holiday with my granddaughter a lot less stressful.

Fly Pass ran a great race for Bfp while I was on my Holiday finishing a closing neck second and will now have a month off before getting ready for an all weather campaign a surface that she goes well on.

22nd August 2023

Just back off my Holidays will get some updates posted over the next couple of days. Looks like the members had a profitable time while I was away and we had a Bfp runner as Fly Pass was a rapidly diminishing neck 2nd at Southwell on Sunday. Probably wont trade for a few days as got a lot of emails and messages to answer so will get caught up and look to trade again towards the end of the week.

14th August 2023

I wont be trading today as away to Portugal on Holiday as of 4am Tuesday morning so there will be no updates to the Blog until the middle of next week. Have a great week everyone and as my mother used to say “be nice and if you cant be nice be careful”.

13th August 2023

A good week for members & myself so day off today as like to take one day off a week and spend some quality time with the family & if I cant make a living trading 6 days a week I cant see how doing 7 days is going to make any difference. I didn’t trade today but Bfp members had another good day and Wes finished off with his biggest ever green. Well done Wes and all the Bfp members. Enjoy the rest of the day.

11th August 2023

There will be no Blog updates next week after Monday as I am away to Portugal for a week.

Will be a day of no trading for me today as Fly Pass heads to Thirsk for the Nursery. Good luck everyone involved. Racecourse guides, race selection video and shortlist done. Time to get some lunch and enjoy the racing. Have a great day everyone

10th August 2023

Twilight shift for me today and it was a short shift for members and myself with a straightforward trade, at a good price to pay for a few holiday spends and a nice early finish to enjoy some evening sunshine.

8th August 2023

Shortlist and race selection video done. A good days trading yesterday will take the same again today, think it will be the evening shift for me starting off with the 16-50. Whatever you doing today Have a great day

7th August 2023

Steady start to the week with a nice simple trade to get the eye in and set us up nicely for the week ahead.

Did one more trade to finish off the day with another straightforward one and out before they turned for home at Ayr.

Good start to the week as last week for me before I go on my Holiday to Portugal for 10 days, so nice to get a few quid for the holiday spends.

Just traded the twilight hour today as not keen on Saturday afternoons and looked more tradeable opportunities later in the day which provided a couple of safe straightforward trades based around pace and position.

4th August 2023

Was not going to trade today and just enjoy the racing and watch Bfp runner Fly Pass running at Wolverhampton but did sneak in a cheeky trade before enjoying the rest of the racing.

3rd August 2023

Will be a day off from trading tomorrow as we have a Bfp runner as Fly Pass heads to Wolverhampton for the Restricted Maiden Stakes Many Thanks Amy and all the team at Amy Murphy Racing and Nick Lewis Ian and everyone Nick Bradley Racing Many Thanks for all your hard work

1st August 2023

Great way to start Yorkshire Day seeing Wes a member since last October making great progress and safely and slowly heading in the right direction and getting the consistency that his hard work deserves. Well Done Wes

31st July 2023

Nice start to the week with a simple Back 2 Lay on Gainsbourg in the Ayr 15-40. Always make me smile when commentator says they are going quick out in front and the market reacts by drifting the leaders, when the pictures stated the fav was only doing 35 mph while 4 lengths clear after 2 furlongs and going easily. 35 mph would be steady fractions over 7 furlongs and out before the 75% marker in the race.

Finished off the day with a Lay 2 Back at Newton Abbot and round what has been a very good month with a nice simple trade that all the members got, nice and safe and out well before the danger zone.

30th July 2023

Didn’t trade today as like to take one day off a week and spend some quality time with the family & if I cant make a living trading 6 days a week I cant see how doing 7 days is going to make any difference although I did receive a nice Dm on Telegram from a member which did make my day as its always nice to see the members doing well.

Nice to see members having a good start to the day to with a simple trade, nice and safe and all out well before the 75% marker when the markets start to get very volatile.

27th July 2023

Nice start to the days trading for members and myself. May not do to much more today so a nice short day. Will add to profits if it is safe to do so but always have in mind to protect the wages.

Always nice to get a nice message in the trading room from one of the long term members Mr O Who has turned into a very good consistent profitable trader over the last 3 years now.

Did add one more trade a bit later, which was a very easy one and out before the first hurdle as the fav didn’t even look like it was going to jump off, so a decent days wages and will keep that safe and enjoy the rest of the day in the garden.

25th July 2023

A blank day yesterday trading wise with no suitable safe market but we kept the mind and bank intact and patience and discipline were rewarded today with a couple of nice safe easy ones and out nice and early when they are controllable to get the week underway

A good days trading for members and myself to round off what has been a good week.

Membership to The In-play Trading Academy will open earlier than normal this month as I am taking a Holiday to Portugal in August and want any new members to have plenty of time to get set up, settled in and ask for any advice before I take a break. https://backforprofit.com/membership-join/

Race selection video, shortlist & all the trading racecourse guides done for members so I can enjoy the rest of the day now. Lots of sport on a Saturday with plenty of racing, cricket, football and fishing mania so always have a plan and stick to it Have a super Saturday everyone

21st July 2023

18th July 2023

Good day for members today and I picked a bad time to have my tea but that’s the way it is, these things even themselves out over time and I never worry about it, just really pleased Bfp members mopped up most of the money and a nice message from a member who is now getting the rewards his hard work over the last 2 years deserve.

17th July 2023

Nice steady safe start to the week and nicely out before halfway for a bread and butter trade. The first couple of weeks in July were very good and hopefully the last two weeks will be too.

15th July 2023

Saturdays always very busy with lots of racing and other stuff going on so always best to have a plan and stick to it. Have a great day and a great weekend everyone

13th July 2023

A decent steady day to lead us into the end of the week and a rare ish Back to lay for me. I would say I do about 90% Lays and 10% Backs but happy to do the odd back if the right set up appears and as always, out nice and early before the markets go crazy giving me plenty of time to close for a scratch if anything changed.

10th July 2023

Good start to the week after taking the weekend off and carrying on from a good start to July. Always nice to get a straightforward trade and out nice and early under the belt to start the week off.

8th July 2023

No trading for me today as Fly Pass a filly that Bfp part owns and sponsors heads to Haydock today for the Bet365 Nursery. As long as she comes home safe and sound anything else after that is a bonus although we do think she has a very solid e/w chance. Have a super Saturday everyone.

7th July 2023

Will be a day off from trading tomorrow as we have a Bfp runner as Fly Pass heads to Haydock for the Bet365 Nursery and has a solid e/e chance. Many Thanks Amy and all the team Amy Murphy Racing and Nick Lewis Ian and everyone Nick Bradley Racing. Many Thanks for all your hard work

Nice session trading for members and myself today to finish what has been a very good week and as no trading for me tomorrow was nice to finish the week on a good note.

6th July 2023

A decent day for members and myself with a good few safe opportunities and out long before the danger zone in the last quarter of the race. After the first few days in July being quiet with no trades at all the patience and discipline has been well rewarded over the last few days and we head into the weekend in good shape and hopefully a little treat to look forward to as Fly Pass heads to Haydock on Saturday with a very good e/w chance in a 20K Nursery.

5th July 2023

After a very good May and June for members and myself, July has started to shape up quite nicely with today providing a few nice safe opportunities and all out just after halfway to give a good kick start to the month.

3rd July 2023

Nice start to the week with a steady away trade in the first at Southwell and out with nearly a circuit to go, traded two in the race, most of the members got on at least one of them.

Topped up with one at Ponty and will leave it there for the day and keep the profits safe for a nice start to the week.

Shortlist and race selection video done all ready to start a new week Will happily take one as good as last week but as usual expect nothing then never disappointed Whatever you doing today Have a great day

30th June 2023

The late shift members rounded of what has been a good month with a decent simple trade, we will all be starting back on £0 tomorrow for the first of the month and will have to do it all over again. Well done everyone. Have a great evening

28th June 2023

Membership to the In play Trading Academy will close for Julys intake on Friday 30th June at 6pm at the latest. Membership is always limited in terms of new members and total number of members as I like to be able to devote enough time to new members to be able to give them the best possible chance of success and also I am a trader that runs a service not the other way round my primary source of income has and always will come from my trading so to protect members and my own interests, numbers will always be limited.

27th June 2023

Todays race selection video and shortlist done for members. A quieter looking day with only 2 afternoon and 2 evening meetings but hopefully the markets will give us a little something. Have a great day everyone

24th June 2023

Good day with a couple of nice safe easy trades for members and myself to finish off what has been a good weeks trading, some great racing and a Bfp horse tipped up and finishing a great second at 20/1. Have a great weekend everyone.

22nd June 2023

Fantastic run from Bfp Horse Fly Pass today at Chelmsford finishing 2nd at 20/1. The message below is what I put in the Bfp Horses Telegram room this morning and many members had a few quid e/w at the 20s and knowing we were going to go forward on her many trading her from 25s to 6s in running on Betfair. No trading for me today as don’t like to mixing work and pleasure and trading is work and the Horses we have is just for a bit of fun so took the day off and enjoyed it.

The Bfp Horses is not part of the trading academy but hopefully members find it a fun and interesting day off from the work of trading, all the information is available to all Bfp members in a Bfp Horses Telegram room where I put all the videos, pictures, and thoughts of trainers, jockeys and Nick and my thoughts about horses we part own and sponsor and are quite a good few quid up to level stakes e/w over the last few years.

21st June 2023

Membership to The In-play Trading Academy is currently open. Membership is always limited in terms of new members and total number of members as I like to be able to devote enough time to new members to be able to give them the best possible chance of success and also I am a trader that runs a service not the other way round my primary source of income has and always will come from my trading so to protect members and my own interests, numbers will always be limited.

Bfp horse Fly Pass heads to Chelmsford tomorrow hoping to break her maiden tag in the EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes. All the information on the horses Bfp has shares in is available for members in a dedicated Bfp Horses Telegram room, including pre and post race videos from jockeys trainers etc as well as Nick`s and my thoughts on the race etc. This isn’t part of the day job of trading just a separate little bit included for a bit of fun that I hope members find informative and interesting and we are well up over the last few years to level stakes.

19th June 2024

Nice start to the week for members and myself and a nice short day with Royal Ascot and a busy week ahead.

17th June 2023

Always good to get a nice email from a member and even better seeing members turning their trading around and becoming consistently profitable traders.

16th June 2023

Shortlist and race selection video done. Will mix trading with some sunshine today Whatever you doing today Have a great day and don’t forget your sunscreen

15th June 2023

Short but sweet email received this morning but still always nice to get them. Have a good day everyone and don’t forget your sunscreen.

Another nice Dm on Telegram from a member that’s been with me just under a year.

14th June 2023

Doesn’t always work out as well as it did today, sometimes you can sit patiently for an hour or two and get nothing but today the markets were kind to us and gave us a nice easy safe trade in the first at Newton Abbot so we could get some wages in and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. Well done to all the members as usual Don’t give them any back and enjoy the rest of the day.

12th June 2023

Good start to the week for members and I managed to chip in a trade for a few quid wages. June has been a very good month so far so hope that continues, hopefully we will have a few Bfp runners out shortly and can have a winner on the track too.

11th June 2023

I did receive a further message from the member after I had finished for the day yesterday that really day make the weekend. No reds months since last October and heading in the right direction that is something that I love to see. There is nothing those members do that most cant with the right mindset and lots of patience and discipline. Well done that member. Hope everyone has had a great Sunday

10th June 2023

Great message from a member this evening to round of what has been a good week for members and myself. I got as much pleasure from receiving that message as any green I have got this month as it is nice to see members doing well. Have a great evening and weekend everyone.

9th June 2023

A newish member who has been sending me his results each week following a one to one call we had a few months ago and has now been green every week since. The figures are relatively small but that’s not important its just nice to see him being consistently profitable and growing in confidence week in week out and the foundations he is taking his time building now will reap rewards when he has a couple of zeros on those figures in 12/18 months time. He has long way to go but has given himself every chance of being a consistently profitable trader.

7th June 2023

Had an appointment this morning so never intended being back to trade the early afternoon however Bfp members seemed to have a party in my absence and caught a big one. Glad the money went to Bfp. Well Done Everyone.

Did manage to get a couple of trades myself later on so at least the members left me some scraps although seeing members doing well is always a bonus.

6th June 2023

The Bfp string all working well ahead of their engagements in June and hopefully we can add further success to our 2023 tally. Many Thanks to everyone who works hard to give Bfp members and myself some fun and enjoyment away from trading.

5th June 2023

Not everyone makes it trading and I suppose it has to be that way as that`s how we make our wages, those that don’t make it, rather than looking in the mirror usually try to find someone else to blame and that’s usually me. There is still very little I get greater pleasure from than seeing as many people as possible heading in the right direction and two telegram messages received from Ash and Ben made the start of the week a good one. A decent trade at Listowel helped too.

Daily video and shortlist done. Ready for the start of a new week. Have a good one everyone

1st June 2023

Some nice messages in the Telegram room to start the month off and a nice email from a new member starting off slowly and consistently. The figures maybe only small but he is starting building solid foundations to trade safely and consistently and those figures will grow to over 4 figures in time and in the right way. Always nice to see and when you see new members starting like that I always think you have a good chances of making it. Well done everyone. We are all on £0 from today so will have to do it all over again. Good luck.

30th May 2023

Nice simple early evenings trading to start the week for members and myself and a good safe day to consolidate what has been a very good month.

Vitarli hasn’t been declared for Carlisle on Thursday as we were keen to avoid Karl Burke`s horse Dawn Charger as we are told he thinks a lot of her and that could be a tip in itself so will look for something easier later in the week.

29th May 2023

Membership to the In play Trading Academy will close on the 31st May. Should places be available it will open again towards the end of June for a few days and a limited number of places and it will not open again after that until the end of August at the earliest.

Subscription

27th May 2023

Shortlist done which is a long one on a busy day so will need to narrow that down abit further. Will mix trading with something that is far more important spending some time in the garden with my granddaughter Whatever your doing today Have a plan & stick to it & Enjoy the day

26th May 2023

Membership to the Bfp Trading Academy is now open, as always this will be for a limited time and limited number of new members then it will close until the end of June as I like to be able to devote enough time to new members to be able to give them the best possible chance of success and also I am a trader that runs a service not the other way round my primary source of income has and always will come from my trading so to protect members and my own interests, numbers will always be limited. .

May has been a great months trading and we could finish off the end of May and the start of June with two Bfp runners to look forward to.

23rd May 2023

A good day for members and myself as we head into the last week of the month and all done and dusted in plenty of time to enjoy some sunshine in the garden.

22nd May 2022

Lovely message from Matt today. Unfortunately not every member makes it, as to trade consistently to a level when you can make consistent profits month in month out to the stage where you can rely on the income isn’t easy and requires a lot of hard work, patience and discipline. I suppose it has to be that way as the bottom line is we do earn our living from those who don’t show those qualities although I still take it personally when a member doesn’t succeed as I do want every member to do well even though I know that’s not possible. Although it is always nice and gives me a great deal of pleasure to see those that are working hard at it getting the results they deserve.

20th May 2023

A nice steady day to end the week for members and myself, covered the takeaway with a simple safe trade and even managed to enjoy some sunshine in the garden. No trading for me tomorrow as always take Sundays off, have a day away from the screens and if I cant make a decent living trading 6 days a week then trading 7 isn’t going to make any difference so will be on Sunday lunch duty and have some quality time with the family and especially my grand daughter and that’s always my favourite day of the week. Have a great weekend everyone.

19th May 2023

Nice trade to finish the week off for members and myself. May has been a very good month for trading with a good mix of flat and jumps trades

18th May 2023

Didn’t make a start until the 17-55 and as usual Fontwell often provides some good opportunities and that was the case today with two decent trades in the one race for members and myself and out long before the 70% mark. A nice short day.

15th May 2023

Last week turned out to be the best week of the year so far so took the opportunity to take the weekend off, enjoy the sunshine and get on top of some gardening but Bfp members were still on top of their game with the weekend offering some very decent trades. Well done all.

Great update as always from Craig Lidster on our filly Vitarli. All the information, pre, post race and weekly on all the horses we part own are put in a dedicated horses telegram room for Bfp members. This has nothing to do with the day job of trading but a little extra that I hope members find fun interesting and informative and we have landed a good few punts over the last few years and are well up to level stakes.

11th May 2023

A decent day for members and myself with the day offering a few decent safe opportunities.

10th May 2023

Back to trading today. Didn’t start until the 16-20 but a nice lay and a decent back trade made the day. Both straight forward trades and out well before the 75% mark before the danger zone.

Members had a good day too in the Bfp Trading room

8th May 2023

Didn’t trade myself today but a decent day for Bfp members. Well done all Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday

Also got a nice email from a new member and its nice to see them starting of in the right direction. I’m sure they will have many bumps in the road but with the right mindset going steady away they have given themselves the best chance of being successful over the long term.

6th May 2023

Nice end to the week for members and myself with 2 nice safe trades and out long before 65% of the race before the markets get more volatile. No trading for me tomorrow as I always take Sundays off and spend time with the family which is far more important than trading. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

5th May 2023

A great start to the trading month and day off trading today as we have two Bfp runners heading to the tracks as Vitarli goes in the 13-30 at Goodwood and Fly Pass heads for the 16-10 at Newmarket. As long as they come home safe and sound anything after that is a bonus.

An interesting conversation with a member the other day that I thought I would take a screen shot of some of the points of interest that someone may find of interest

1st May 2023

Nice start to the month for members and myself and an enjoyable Bank Holiday. Well done everyone Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday

28th April 2023

A nice simple trade to finish the week that was a classic Bfp trade, out before a third of the way into the race, that I and most of the members that were trading today got, a end to the week and the takeaway covered.

20th April 2023

A decent day for Bfp members adding to what has been a good week and month so far.

19th April 2023

and a nice trade for members and myself to finish the day off along with long term member David having a good day. Well done everyone.

17th April 2023

Fantastic debut from Vitarli today at Redcar, finishing a very promising 2nd and Fly Pass will be out making her debut on Wednesday.. Information on all the horses I part own and sponsor is available to Bfp members in a Bfp horses telegram room, not part of the day job of trading but an added extra that I hope Bfp members find fun and interesting.

And a nice trade at kelso for members and myself to finish off a good day

16th April 2023

First of the Bfp string of 2023 on the track tomorrow as Vitarli heads to Redcar. Many Thanks to Craig & all the staff at Craig Lidster Racing and Nick, Lewis, Ian & all the team at Nick Bradley Racing. As long as she enjoys her debut & comes home safe & sound anything after that is a bonus.

12th April 2023

A good start to April and lots to look forward to in the month ahead. Aintree starting Thursday and possibly two Bfp filly’s making their debuts next week although as of yet they are still all unbeaten. Many Thanks all involved.

31st March 2023

Last day of the month and always a good start to the day to see a new member starting off on the right path.

One of the biggest improvements you can make to your P&L is not focusing solely on the profits as the green days tend to look after themselves but focus on controlling your losses and keeping them as small as possible. Good luck everyone today

Finally managed to hit 4 figures in raising a few quid for Racing Welfare. A great charity that helps anyone who has worked in racing that may need a little helping hand. Will see if we can double it this year. Thank you to Racing Welfare for all your hard work

21st January 2023

The BFP string for 2023 taking shape and still all unbeaten.

20th January 2023

As its been a quiet week thought I would order myself a new cap to go racing this summer and get a few extras for a few BFP competitions throughout the year.

19th January 2023

Quiet week with lots of meetings off due to the weather. A good time to take it easy, not panic and go looking for trades that are not there. Its always like this at this time of year so best to just except it and enjoy some family time as in a few weeks time we will have racing none stop from lunchtime to bedtime.

Although a quiet time we have had a good first half of the month and a good start to the year, I am about par with figures for January for the last 5 years and members and myself have been chipping away with a few safe simple trades to keep us ticking over.

12th January 2023

Early start and early finish for me today after taking the day off yesterday. Well done to all the members Wages in now don`t forget Rules 1 & 2 Rule 1 Don`t give them any back and more importantly Rule 2 Dont forget rule 1

9th January 2023

Our Adaay filly that we part own and sponsor has now been named Vitarli

7th January 2023

A good day for members and although a late start for me, started with the 13-50 and finished for the day and weekend by 14-30 with 2/2 steady bread and butter trades. Have a great weekend everyone.

A nice message from a member to finish off the week and a great start to the New Year.

6th January 2023

Not traded myself today as busy doing some personal stuff but great to see the BFP members having a good day and as always everyone in the group trying to help each others progress. Some very good traders in the group but more importantly some very nice genuine people that are always about to help.

5th January 2023

A good steady start to the year and always nice to see members doing well and looking forward to the year ahead.

27th December 2022

Three horses so far for the BFP 2023 string, hopefully a couple more from the breeze ups, so far all unnamed and all unbeaten.

Not part of the day job of trading but hopefully members will find it fun and interesting seeing them develop. We have a dedicated telegram room for all the information, pictures and videos from trainers, jockey`s, Nick and myself of the BFP Horses and hopefully we will have a little punt or two throughout the season. Lots to look forward to in 2023

25th December 2022

24th December 2022

Its the BFP members that make the Trading Academy a special place to learn how to trade with like minded people who are always about to help and share their experiences good and bad. many Thanks to all the BFP members.

17th December 2022

On a day of no racing Receiving a long post in the telegram room from one of the long term members certainly brightened up the day and really makes everything we do at BFP worthwhile.

Was a long message so couldn’t screenshot it all in one go hence have done multiple shots.

12th December 2022

After a 8-30 inspection from my office window It has been decided to have the day off Have a good one everyone and stay safe

6th December 2022

A fantastic weekend with some good trades for members and myself with Shishkin being the icing on the cake along with a very good day for members and finished the day with BFP Horse Oscula selling for 1 million euros at the sales and we all wish her a long happy and healthy life.

1st December 2022

Long term member David aka run like a drain on Twitter has updated his blog. He has been with BFP a long time now and has had about, the last 30 months all green. His blog is always worth a read and details his trading journey over many years, warts and all. Worth a read

22nd October 2022

Nice to get members asking for help to improve any part of their trading and help is always available from myself and other experienced members. I got asked yesterday to explain a term I often use in the trading videos so was happy to do a more in depth video explaining this

Good start to the week and lots to look forward to as the month goes on with Oscula heading to Newmarket on Friday and the jumps kicking in this month.

27th September 2022

A little something that some may or may not find interesting

21st September 2022

Nice easy trade for members and myself to what has been a good week so far and Oscula starts her autumn campaign at Newmarket on Friday to give us some fun later in the week.

20th September 2022

Nice to see one of the newer members greens increasing after being a member for about 7 months, wont be long before he is getting into 3 and then 4 figure greens.

17th September 2022

Decent day to finish of an all-round decent week and nice to see lots of members with similar results and as an added bonus wages banked and takeaway covered nice and early leaving plenty of time to get into the garden. Have a great weekend everyone

8th September 2022

There’s not being a fan of the Royals (an understandable position), then there’s actively celebrating the death of an elderly woman. The second one makes you a very unsavory person and as someone who isn’t a royalist, I for one will mourn the loss of an elderly lady, a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Rip

6th September 2022

The twilight shift for me today as preferred the early evening races, pictures were a bit on and off due to thunderstorms but managed to get one nice easy trade and in and out before halfway in plenty of time for tea.

5th September 2022

Good start to the week and nice message from one of our newer members, hopefully the week continues like this

3rd September 2022

Oscula back in work and getting ready for an autumn campaign.

26th August 2022

Good weeks trading and August has been a good month on the whole with some decent opportunities. Day off from trading tomorrow as we are heading to Beverley to cheer home BFP Horse Who`s Ur Dandy in the 17-29

17th August 2022

Always nice to get private Dms from members doing well and especially those that have taken their trading to the point of going full time.

15th August 2022

Amazing performance from Oscula today to win the Prix De Lieurey Group 3 Stakes under a great ride from Ryan Moore She as given us so many days to cherish A real superstar. Tough consistent and very talented

27th July 2022

Day off from trading for me today and have had an amazing day as Oscula won the Group 3 Oak Tree Stakes. We all had a few quid on at fancy prices. Not part of the trading program but we do have a BFP Horses Telegram room where I put all the info for our horses and hopefully its something members find interesting and informative.

27th July 2022

Good luck to Oscula today as she aims to go one place better than she did on Saturday in the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood.

26th July 2022

I didnt trade it as id got my wages in and had finished for the day but glad BFP members took a decent share of the money in the pot on the Perth 18-50 Well Done Boys and Girls Enjoy your evening

25th July 2022

Nice start to the week with a straight forward trade on the Fav at Newton Abbot 14-25. Hopefully that sets the tone for the week ahead but will always have Rules 1 and 2 in my mind. Rule 1 Don`t lose any money Rule 2 Don`t Forget Rule 1

Busy week coming up with Goodwood and Galway likely to provide some great trading opportunities and to top it all on Wednesday the mighty Oscula heads to Goodwood trying to go one better than on Saturday in the Oak Tree Stakes Great week ahead

17th July 2022

Always nice to get private Dms from members doing well but some do touch me abit more than others and this one did from a member. I will keep his Id private as it is a bit personal but nice to know what he has learned and earned from BFP has been put to the best use.

13th July 2022

Decent days trading today and will have to put a full shift in this week as no BFP horses running until Who`s Ur Dandy heads to Beverley on Monday

2nd July 2022

Looking back at June, it was a very good trading month for many members and myself, although with trading and lots of BFP Horses running it didn’t leave a lot of time to update the blog and taking the weekend off trading this weekend as we have two BFP Horses running over the weekend.

First up is Oscula as she heads to Sandown for the listed Distaff stakes and then Who`s Ur Dandy heads to Ayr tomorrow hopefully trying to build on her unlucky but promising third for us on her BFP Racing debut in the last at Ayr.

The BFP Horses isn’t part of our trading just a welcome day away from trading that I hope BFP members find interesting and informative. We have a separate BFP Horses telegram room that I put all the information in as well as pics, videos of the horses and jockeys feedback etc in.

3rd June 20233

A day off from trading today as watching BFP Horse that I part own and sponsor Oscula run a great race to be second in the listed Surrey Stakes. She now has Black Type at 2 and 3 after winning the Group 3 Six Perfections Stakes at Longchamp last year and is back to her best.

1st June 2022

Nice way to start the month with an email from Jon a member. Its a bit of a long one Im afraid.

Hi Andrew

I decided to take the last few days off trading as I’ve been meaning to send a message for a while, but thought I’d wait until I actually had my 10th green month in a row. I joined BFP in November 2020 and after a mixture of practice mode and low stake live trades till the end of the December 2020, I decided to take the plunge at the start of the new year and start properly. It feels such a long time ago, especially with everything that’s happened around the world, but I do recall trading far too many races for many months and having really good days and weeks only to be slammed by a race with a full red stake. Those months between November and July where a mixture of red and green, good days and bad days and learning a hell of a lot. At the beginning I recall regularly getting hit on the first race of my trading plan and also recall days getting greens on the first 1 or 2 races and staying on trying to get 5 more only to be hit on the 5th and wipe out all my profits.

I’ve been on betfair for some time and was always more of a layer than a backer, but many times previously I’ve chased reds only to get hit on bigger reds, normally within the next couple of races. We’ve all been there! For me the only way I got round this was to bet with stakes which wouldn’t negatively impact me if I lost the lot. I think the same rings true for new traders, they must only trade with the full stake they are prepared to lose that won’t negatively impact them and cause their reaction to instantly get their money back. This way when the inevitable happens, it’s easier to draw a line in the sand and come back fresh the next day. To me now a red means nothing, other than an opportunity to learn, it’s a trade and as long as I make more good trades than bad trades overall I’m in the money. If I make a poor decision or I don’t feel comfortable with an open position, I just close the trade, accept it and move forward. This is trading and you have to accept red trades, red days, red months even, it’s how you turn it around, learn from them and minimise them next time which counts and the most important thing is what you do straight away after getting one and seeing your reduced balance and when the rage has set in. I now believe and trust in the long term edge of B4P and you just need to keep on going, doing the same thing over and over again and trust in the process, but you do need to get to a certain point in order to fully understand that and the chances are it probably would have cost you money or a bank or two to get to there, by which point many have probably given up.

We all have different concentration levels and time available that we can trade, but one thing that has really stuck with me is the “do one or two and do them really well” methodology and “why trade 5 races for £20 when you can trade 1 for £100.” I like this approach it takes time to adjust and “less is more” is well and truly stuck on my office wall! I don’t set targets to encourage chasing and I don’t let bad decisions bother me either, I am fully accountable for what I do. When I look at my full set of results since I started and the patterns of greens and reds over the 18months I can see it just swings back to green in a few more trades after getting a red, you have to look at this over the long term to see that. I count scratch’s as reds on my results sheet (as they often end in a small loss for me) and hit just over 89% strike rate, if I took those scratch’s off, I’m more like 91% which I’m really pleased with. I was low 80-85% when I started. That 89% balance makes me money and also leaves plenty of room for improvement, and if I can make another 3% in the next year or two, I’d be so so pleased. I think overall I would have been happy to have taken a scratch on the 1st year of trading B4P as a whole, just to learn the process and then profit in the 2nd-3rd year, but things have worked in my favour and I’ve worked hard with myself, discipline and past experiences to turn this around.

BFP is a finely tuned process based from your wealth of experience and I do think members have to go round the full circle and maybe several times, in order to really appreciate and fully grasp the method and style of what you do. I’ve seen so many members of your group come and go since the time I’ve joined, but there are obviously some people in the group who have put the hours, days, months, years into learning and it’s paid off. I see myself as half way through my 3 year BFP degree and I’ll come out the other end with my investment in time and my qualification earned and what I hope to be in the region of a 91%+ strike rate. That really would be amazing.

I’m human, we make mistakes, but I know for sure my mistakes are becoming less and less each month. When I make poor decisions, or misread a signal, trade the wrong horse or whatever it is, I close the trade, back in the day I would have hesitated and taken my chances, sometimes you’d win and other times you’d lose, but that it not a good trade as you well know. I feel confident in having open liabilities well into the £100’s and being confident in what I am seeing on screen, the confidence penny really has dropped in the last few months in particular and I feel so positive about my decisions and judgement and how I am reading the race.

A message to new members and it’s nothing which hasn’t been said before, is just forget about the money and learn the process and that means plan to learn the process for many months or years. My objective, my BFP degree, is a 3 year course so I’m only half way through my journey. I think many members come and go within 3 months as they just can’t grasp the long term and want the money instantly. This is not a get rich quick program, this is a life skill you must be prepared to rigorously learn and continuously polish and adapt. Form daily habits, repeat, repeat and repeat, the reward will eventually come to those to work hard on the process and even harder on themselves.

I can only hugely thank you for building the BFP course, teaching the members the in running techniques that you actually use day in day out to make a living and having the patience to put up with everyone in the group to keep the service operating. Im looking forward to meeting my 1year profit milestone in a few years time, but I’m not going to dwell on that too much as I don’t want it to become a target, I don’t want the added pressure, I will just simply churn the trades as per normal and if it happens it will happen.

All the best

Jon

Sorry should have read “few months time” in the last sentence.

Thx

28th May 2022

Getting towards the end of the month and looking back it has been a good month with lots to look forward to. Away from trading, our horse, Fortuitous Star made a pleasing debut at Ripon and we have Oscula to look forward to as she heads to Epsom on Derby Day, we have bought another one, Who`s Ur Dandy to race in The BFP Racing Silks.

Nice to see members doing well to and having another good month and being able to take the weekend of to spend time with the family ahead of what will be a busy few months.

21st May 2022

Steady sort of a week with a few bread and butter trades to keep the job ticking over nicely. Hopefully a more exciting week next week as Fortuitous Star makes her debut at Ripon on Thursday and I have just bought another horse to give us some fun over the summer. Shares are available in the latter all details are on the website at https://bfp-racing.com/

13th May 2022

Oscula hasn`t run at York this week as we are going to run her at Epsom on Derby Day but hopefully Fortuitous Star will be making her debut at Ripon towards the end of the month and I am hoping to add another horse to the BFP string in the next week or so.

Has been a good months trading so far and some great racing at York this week, made even better by a good friend to BFP. Stradivarius not letting us down again, I think he has paid for the summerhouse over the last few years and will be very sad and a lot poorer when he retires. Great to see him win.

3rd May 2022

Good solid start to the month for members and myself most people seemed to get a good few easy safe trades over the weekend, its always nice to start the month well and get a few quid in the bag. I did record the 2 trades I did today for the members to view.

1st May 2022

Nice to get messages in The Telegram rooms from new members starting on the right tracks and doing well. 1st of the month so as we all start the day on £0 we will have to do it all over again

23th April 2022

Been a bit quiet over the last week as not been to well with covid, flu or something similar but on the mend now and nothing like receiving a DM from a member to make me feel better.

16th April 2022

Steady start to the month, the racing can be a bit scrappy during April as we crossover from the jumps to the flat. Although I am a jumping man at heart I do prefer trading the flat as they all tend to race a lot tighter which can make safety much easier. Once we get this weekend out of the way we will be coming to the very busy period of the year, with the evening cards starting and lots of meetings everyday so will chill a bit over the Easter weekend before the busy 5 months.

Was also great to see BFP Horse Shouldavbeenmore win on her US debut at Aqueduct who I named after my good friend Lee Cal as every time I used to ask him how he had got on trading he would always say “made a few quid but it Should have been more” We sold her at the end of last year to race on in the US and wish her all the best after making a superb start Good Luck Shouldavbeenmore.

31st March 2022

March has been a very good month for many members including myself as it often is, most of that mainly down to Shishkin getting turned over at Cheltenham. The last week of this month has been a bit quite but steady away as we reach the cross over point between the jumps and the flat getting going.

The quite week has given me a bit of time to update the Bfp Racing website. Nothing to do with trading but as many know I do own a few horses and put the info on them up in the trading rooms, something that many members have found fun and interesting and a welcome distraction from trading for an hour or so. As a consequence of this quite a few people have asked if I would put a few syndicates together so hence Bfp Racing has been formed. If its something you are interested you are welcome to have a look at the website although its not quite finished yet but should be with a week or so. You can find a link below

http://www.bfp-racing.com

23th March 2022

We will have a few available places this month so membership will open this Friday 25th should anyone be interested in learning to trade in-play safely and consistently.

17th March 2022

A good first half to the Cheltenham week although still not achieved a personal ambition to get a 5k green, I’ve never had one and this is the only meeting, the way I trade that I have one shot at doing it, nothing to do with the money just a personal challenge between me and the trading gods. Anyway still a good start to the week and members have also had a good start to the week which is more important and they also got a good few quid on Shishkin yesterday. No trading for me today just going to watch and enjoy the racing

14th March 2022

Fortuitous Star

11th March 2022

Bfp filly Fortuitous Star. She is the filly at the back of the four.

7th March 2022

We will be having the usual Cheltenham tip
