While sat waiting for yet another customer to come and unload their meat I quickly did the ITV 7 on Wednesday 5th of June.
My criteria was simple – I just selected the 7 horses that Timeform rated with 5 stars. Not rocket science but nothing to lose.
I had 2 winners from the 7 – this equates to a 28.5% strike rate.
I then got to thinking what if I had backed these 7 selections individually for a target profit of £5.00 so I did the maths
If I had backed these at S.P. my total stake would have been £13.16. With 2 winners both yielding £5.00 each in profit (not returns) I would have come out with a £2.81 overall profit
