Monthly Portfolio Review
Portfolio P/L: -20.75pts
YTD P/L: -71.44pts
System 1 (max odds of 20.0) BSP results
System 1 finished September in profit despite giving back a significant amount of its position late in the month. The system reached +27.83 points on 11 September and remained comfortably profitable through much of the month. Several higher-priced winners then reduced that position, including Rebel Wave at BSP 10.00, Girl Scout at BSP 10.00 and Luck Between Us at BSP 13.00. The system briefly fell into negative territory towards the end of September before recovering over the final few days to finish +7.63 points.
System 2 (max odds of 10.0) BSP results
System 2 experienced a volatile September. After falling to -17.23 points during the opening week, the system recovered strongly and reached +17.83 points by 22 September. That recovery was then reversed during the final part of the month, with losses including Girl Scout at BSP 10.00, Leading Times at BSP 7.08 and Datstheholyallofit at BSP 6.80. System 2 ultimately finished September -9.06 points.
System 3 (max odds of 20.0) BSP results
System 3 produced the largest loss of the month. The system had recovered from an early drawdown to reach +19.10 points on 23 September, but a difficult final week completely reversed that position. Losses during the closing stages included Girl Scout at BSP 10.00, Gore Point at BSP 7.00 and, on the final day of the month, Arch Enemy at BSP 12.50. System 3 finished September -20.24 points.
System 4 (max odds of 5.0) BSP results
System 4 effectively finished September around break-even. The system spent much of the month in drawdown and reached approximately -11.96 points on 14 September. A gradual recovery followed during the second half of the month, with System 4 eventually moving back into positive territory on the final day to finish +0.92 points. As always, the maximum BSP of 5.0 limited the size of individual losses compared with the higher-odds systems.
Key Takeaways
September was a particularly good illustration of how quickly a lay portfolio can move in either direction.
The portfolio stood at +49.50 points on 23 September, but four difficult days from 24–27 September produced a combined loss of -78.24 points.
One notable example came on 25 September when Girl Scout at BSP 10.00 qualified for Systems 1, 2 and 3, producing a combined -27 points across the official portfolio.
Despite the difficult finish, Systems 1 and 4 both ended September in positive territory.
The overall 2026 position now stands at -71.44 points, compared with -50.69 points at the end of August.
As throughout the year, the official system parameters have not been retrospectively altered in response to performance.

Final Thoughts
September was a frustrating month.
For the portfolio to move from +49.50 points to -20.75 points in the final week demonstrates the volatility that can exist within lay trading, particularly where higher-priced selections are involved.
It would have been easy to publish a very different-looking update on 23 September. That is precisely why results should not be judged or presented selectively.
The full month finished -20.75 points, the 2026 position is -71.44 points, and those figures form part of the same public record as every profitable period.
Nothing is removed when it performs badly and nothing is retrospectively rewritten.
Every selection. Every result. No exceptions.
