X-factor update
Consequently the value has gone. If you still wanted to get involved you'd need to bet with Ladcrooks (12/1, 1/5 odds 1,2,3 or Sportingnobet 11/1 1/4 odds 1,2,3).

Final two weeks of turf flat season
No bet today as Leicester is abandoned. Very little of interest in these final two weeks. Possibly Ayr and/or Nottingham on Wednesday. Then Nottingham and/or Doncaster next week. Other than that, the odd wager on the sand at Wolverhampton.
All figures up to date on the website. Flat racing profit + 620 points (33.4%), 2013 overall + 804 points (33.2%).

Saturday wrap
The ups and downs of punting. Such a tremendous day yesterday with winners at 25/1 and 6/1. Then a horror show today with nil returns. Thanks to that big priced winner yesterday, we are still 27.25 points up on the week with just the tennis outright bets to be settled Sunday. Li Na takes on Serena Williams in the Istanbul final.
If, as is expected, Serena wins the final the week's profit will fall to 25.25 points, still a reasonable figure. Should the Chinese overcome the 'fatigued' American then the final profit for the week will rise to 41.75 points thanks to the 10/1 ew bet on Li Na.

Tennis summary - Istanbul
Now we know the final four and three of them are the three outright selections (PK, LN, JJ) I suggested at the beginning of the week. Problem is the fourth player is the (probably) unbeatable Serena Williams, at best a 1/5 chance to pick up the trophy on Sunday.
Total investment on the event is 16.5 points and we have had two winners so far: JJ to beat Vika, return nine points and Sara Errani to beat JJ 2-0 in sets, return seven points. Total return 16 points.
So we are certain to win on the event as Li Na (further 6.5 points) or Kvit (6.66 points) will reach the final. JJ is highly unlikely to beat Serena so I won't bother working out that particular outcome!
So no more bets on this event as we already have an interest in each of the remaining three matches through the outright wagers.
Anyway another winning week whatever happens tomorrow or Sunday......

Friday update
BTW Great result at Doncaster earlier - our 22/1 winner pays out @ 25/1 thanks to BOG!
Tennis update
Each-way bets not looking so clever now as Kerber has found a bit of form and is favourite to beat Kvit today and thus eliminate her from the competition. In the other group Li Na will top it if she beats Vika today. The latter is slight favourite for the match though.
Depending on the outcome of the Vika match, I may have a wager in the JJ v Errani match and if I do I will post after we know the earlier result.

Diva JJ does the business
Price change
I see that PP has slashed the JJ price recommended for today's match from 7/2 to 11/4 shortly after I placed my small bet with them. She is still 10/3 with several firms or 4.8 on betfair (better than 7/2 after commission) at the time of writing.
Interestingly there was a big gamble against Kvitova in her match yesterday. She was around 8/11 to prevail against A Rad when the market opened but by the time the first ball was struck she had drifted out to 5/4 with the Pole becoming the favourite. PK won in straight sets without dropping her serve. Shows you the market is not always right!

Very strange the way the two selections were backed: 6/1 > 9/4 and 12/1> 11/4! That certainly wasn't because of my modest investments!

I may have a bet at Wolverhampton but I want to see how the track is running in the first couple of races before I decide. I will post around 15:00-15:15 if I get involved.

Despite the quantity of meetings tomorrow, it looks like I may only be interested in one race. I have had an early play on two runners against the field in the 7f handicap at Ascot as follows:
15:50A 2.5pts win 1.5pts place Sirius Prospect @ 14/1 William Hill BOG
15:50A 2pts win Big Johnny D @ 8/1 Coral BOG
Total six points.
Elsewhere my ante-post choice in the Arc, Leading Light, has been drawn five. Historically it has been an advantage to be drawn in the first six. In fact in the last nine years only once has the winner been drawn higher than six - Workforce drawn eight in 2010. However the horses drawn 1-4 this year would all appear to be rags (they are available at 66/1 or more with the bookmakers and much bigger prices on betfair). I have only had 1.5 pts ew @ 25/1 LL. However if you did not get this I would not put you off a small bet with Coral @ 20/1.
I may post a couple more bets tomorrow but they are likely to be at Longchamp rather than on UK racing.

Secret saunters in at Salisbury
Quite a few withdrawals because of the ground so we did not get paid at the 22/1 taken. A 25p rule 4 is applied reducing the odds to 16.5/1. Still better than the 14/1 SP though.
Day's profit = 12.8 points, accumulative on the week is therefore a modest 8.8 points.
Off to the London Racing Club preview of the ARC (and other international races) tomorrow but will be looking at (only) Wolverhampton tomorrow.
Meanwhile Leading Light is 16/1 for the ARC from the 25/1 taken (Ladbrokes only 10/1)
