It's been a steady if unspectacular end to August but it's left me with a decent return for the month. I was hoping to do better but the important thing for me now is to remember how my results this year compare to where I was 12 months ago. Growth is the name of the game and if I can continue to earn more than the equivalent month in 2007 then I'm continuing down the right track. However, my mind has been wandering lately though so I'm aware I need to buck up my ideas. This could be easier said than done as September now looks a bit bare after the Champions Trophy cricket tournament being postponed and the ever unpredictable British weather threatening to wash out any scheduled cricket. With my trading portfolio now relying so heavily on the bat and willow I'm once again feeling anxious that my good form won't continue as I'm forced to explore sports I'm less familiar with. To this end I'm going to make a concerted effort this year to make the NFL pay and just hope that these weekly match-ups can keep me ticking over until February.

Here's my latest results:

.

Cricket

Worcestershire v Gloucestershire : £77.87

England v South Africa - 4th ODI : £3.33

.

Rugby Union

South Africa v Australia : £26.04

.

Horse Racing

Barth : £16.03

Market Rasen : £1.88

Ripon : £2.00

Chester : £0.12

Sandown : £0.43

Newton Abbott : £0.92

Chester: £4.47

.

As you can see, the Horse Racing trading still continues to fail!

On a much brighter note, Caden has recovered well from last weeks escapade much to Mam and Dad's relief, so many thanks to all those who gave their best wishes :-)
