Money is a WoSHBODS portfolio rarely rests …

The table at right documents the usual differences between what I’ve eventually secured versus what I wanted when I first saw the markets

Overall, Investors have a head-to-head interest in seven games, and a line market interest in all nine, with the head-to-head bets on five favourite and ywo underdogs, and the line bets on seven favourites and two underdogs.

The head-to-head bets total just under 16% of the original Head-to-Head Fund, and the line bets just under 19% of the Line Fund.

In total, then, just over 16% of the entire Combined Portfolio is at risk.
