Overall:
A decent week, in terms of results and performance. We probably didn't convert as much as we should, a lot of our selections were subject to gambles which did not prevail, and we also hit a number of places, which is encouraging. But, the most important figure sees us with 14 winners from 50 selections (28% SR) and +20.2pts profit over the week. A decent start to November, so let us hope we can continue!
