The last week has been a case of moving slowly forward and then experiencing a decent sized loss to send me back to where I came from - a real life game of snakes and ladders! I'm not too disheartened though as I've been looking back at my posts from last February and a few things strike me on how I've changed over the past 12 months.

.

The most obvious change is with my mindset. Back then I was in a rush to get where I thought I needed to be and as a result my thinking was clouded, but now I'm so much more relaxed and surprisingly patient. So much so that I sometimes feel like a robot and I'm secretly worrying that I'm losing my personality :-).

.

Secondly, I've realised how much more experienced I am. It now takes a lot to shake my outlook and lose my focus which is incredible considering I knew so little a year ago. At that time I was still unsure which sports to trade so being able to concentrate on those that I'm confident will produce a profit makes a huge difference.

.

Don't get me wrong though - I know I'm not perfect as I haven't even been able to make a gain over them last 9 days! But.....I feel I'm stronger and more prepared than ever....roll on the cricket season.

.

Here's my latest results:

.

Darts

Jenkins v Taylor : £33.05

Van Barneveld v Manley : £26.92

.

Rugby Union

Bath v Wasps : £27.70

London Irish v Wasps : £114.89

.

The Darts resumes on Thursday and there's also the possibility of some Twenty20 cricket on the weekend so February still promises plenty. I don't want to overstretch myself though so again small and steady will be my my motto for the rest of the month.
