Week 25.45pt Profit: V1.0 Card Finds Form, But Season Remains Tight

A Welcome Surge

After a season defined by narrow margins, the v1.0 card delivered its best weekly performance in some time. From 35 settled bets across six days, 9 found the winner's enclosure, yielding a net +25.45pt at level stakes. The standout came on Tuesday 15th, when Justice Court landed at an advised 13.50, banking a single-bet profit of +12.50pt and setting the tone for the week.

Day by Day

• Monday 14th: A quiet start. One selection, no winner. -1.00pt.
• Tuesday 15th: Two wins from four. Justice Court's big price plus a second winner drove the day to +13.00pt. Best day of the week.
• Thursday 17th: Two wins from six, +6.10pt. Solid if unspectacular.
• Friday 18th: Three winners from eight bets. A busy day with a +4.75pt return.
• Saturday 19th: Two from ten, +8.60pt. Another profitable afternoon.
• Sunday 20th: A blank. Six runners, no winners. -6.00pt, the worst day.

The Sunday reverse was a reminder that variance cuts both ways, but the weekly total remains emphatically positive.

The Season Picture

The full public ledger now shows 71 wins from 388 settled bets, a strike rate just under 18.3%. At 1pt level stakes the running total is +1.1pt – effectively break-even. That puts the v1.0 card in a similar position to many long-term systems: a small edge that needs patience to realise. The +25.45pt week was welcome, but it barely moved the seasonal needle from nearly flat to barely positive.
