Racing Alpha's Weekly Ledger: A Positive Week Despite Season Losses

A Positive Turn in the Ledger

The v1.0 card turned in a decent week, with two winners from ten settled bets returning +6.00pt. That's a 20% strike rate, and the highlight was the biggest-priced winner of the week.

Day by Day Breakdown

• Tuesday 4 August: 1 win from 4, +6.00pt. That single winner did the damage, making the day a profitable one despite the low strike rate.
• Thursday 6 August: 1 win from 4, +2.00pt. A quieter day but still in the black. The kind of steady accumulation that builds weeks.
• Saturday 8 August: 0 wins from 2, -2.00pt. A blank day. Nothing to report, but it happens.

The Big Hit

She'll Be Kept won at advised 10.00, returning +9.00pt profit. That's the kind of each-way or win bet that can turn a week around. It was the standout result of the period.

Season Picture

But the wider context matters. Season to date: 31 wins from 202 settled bets, which is a loss of 34.5 points at level stakes. That's a tough run, and we don't hide the numbers. Transparency is the whole point of the ledger. You can see the full running total on our performance page.
