My Dad took me to an Ashton United match once - they beat Horwich RMI three-two at home in a League game in the 1970s.

Decent crowd, entertaining game as I recall.
 
Another winning day - system bet delivered and Found A Fifty, Saint Segal plus a last-minute value bet on King Of Answers kept the head above water there too - and another winning week.

ROI now 6% on the year, more the double what it was a month or two ago, and annual profit now 80% of the 2024 number with 24 days to go.

On the downside, this was my blandest lasagne in ages, maybe ever.

I might spice it up tomorrow with some chilli powder, or paprika, or Worcester sauce - or all three!

Cumin !

Great advice - I would go and buy some tomorrow but for the fact that, immediately after my last posting, I had one of my many "let's just DO IT" moments and a just poured heaped teaspoons of hot chilli powder and paprika then added lashings of Worcester sauce to the pan containing the rest of the lasagne sauce!

I've given it a good stir, now left it to marinade overnight in the fridge and when I have Round Two tomorrow I'll see if it makes a difference.

But Cumin is very much on the list now going forwards - thank you!
 
I batch cook the sauce, let it cool down and marinade overnight, then extract a portion and, for lasagne, have layers of lasagne sheets, sauce and cheese, then heat up the whole thing and eat it, sometimes with a garlic baguette on the side.

It usually works out fine - this one is just a touch on the bland side, so I've converted the sauce to my chilli mince recipe.
 
I never backed a bloody winner all day.

I had a jacket potato with beans for tea at London’s finest hospital.

I’m hoping the wind will die down soon and I can get some sleep.
 
Fairly lousy day tbh.

Upsides - system bet was a solid win and spicing up my lasagne sauce worked well!

Downsides - Lost on the only race I "manually" got involved in and lost badly on the AW (which is also systematic).

Annual AW ROI is now only 2.5% and the profit from it is only 3% of my overall profit across all activity - this is piss-poor for the amount of turnover I'm pumping into it.

As it stands, it will survive into 2026 - just - but many more days like today and it's getting axed.
