Win Money Betting Horses!

Summary and Master Class

This week showed the resilience of our Professional Betting Strategy, contacts and results. We had two near maximum 40 point losses and yet we still managed to turn in a fantastic 149 point profit on the week! That’s seriously impressive.

One client wrote to say “Bob, I never believed it was possible to win money betting horses on such a regular basis till I joined your service. Even if we have a poor start to the week now I’m always confident you’ll turn it around and probably be in profit at the end of the week. Thanks so much”

By the way I do always appreciate feedback like that. It’s great winning money, and being able to win money betting horses we are on together makes it more fun cheering them home! It’s even better knowing you’ve won money too. It makes all the hard work worthwhile. And he has an interesting point to … (especially if you’re like me and think banks are B****s!)

Unlike the banking sector … who seem to be near bankruptcy after one big hit! (aw diddums) … we survived two torpedoes below the waterline and still came home victorious! And you’ll probably have noticed we did nothing fancy after those two big losers. There was no panicky retrieval betting. No rapid escalation of stakes. Just steady Professional Betting chipping away with solid bets winning money off the bookies day by day.

My view is in the long run I’ll always win money betting horses.  So why worry about a temporary bit of bad fortune? I know if I keep betting horses that are fancied, that have the ability to win, and know when to take the right price I will win money. So we don’t need to chase. We don’t need to steam. It’s a question of making the same solid selections with the right staking plan.

Now please don’t misinterpret this to mean I never lose. I don’t always win money betting horses and back plenty of losers amongst the winners. That’s part of the game and if you can’t handle it you get out of the kitchen.  There are always times in any Professional’s life when you have a bad spell and things just don’t go right. But when you’ve had enough experience of being able to consistently win money betting horses, over a long period of time, you become confident that just as day follows night … the winners follow losers … and profits will come.

We discussed this point last week  but it’s so important that you are armed with every tool possible to win money betting horses that I’d like to briefly cover it gain. Repetition is the mother of skill! I really do believe this is probably the most important, and hardest lesson to master … and this one skill differentiates the Professional Punter from the amateur. The skill of learning to

Control your emotional state after losses

It’s all to easy to increase stakes after losers. Anyone can do that and everyone is tempted to. Often it works. If I’d had another huge 40 point bet on the next horse after those two exorcet missiles we’d be hundreds of points up. Of course I could have had a huge 40 points ew on Silvergino at 11/2 instead of the minimal 2 points. We would have won fortunes, and no doubt I’d have been a Hero! But only for a short time. Because even though it might have paid off that day in the long run anyone who always chase losses will eventually go skint!

Winning money betting horses is a long term plan

I’m in this for the long term so that means betting sensibly all the time. Not wildly varying stakes just because you’ve been unlucky, or lost (or won for that matter).

Chasing losses may work two, three, four times out of 10. Maybe even 9 times. But the one time it doesn’t you lose the lot and are out of the game. No thank you. I’ve been able to win money betting horses for over 20 years and so will be very happy to stay in the game for another 20 and continue doing so!  I look at it as being too risky to risk not being able to enjoy winning money for  the next 20 years just for the sake of getting level this day or this week.

Enough of the lecture, now a brief chat about the week!

Monday:

Lousy start to the week. When I conducted my Daily Post Mortem with myself after racing (I try and analyse my daily performance every night and review my bets to see if I overlooked anything) I realised I’d been short of time as it had taken me an additional couple of hours to prepare last week’s report. I felt it had been reflected in the quality of my analysis and selections. When I went over the bets in the evening the only one I was happy with was Baron Otto. I could see small flaws in the other two.

To be honest it’s rare there isn’t a flaw in any bet. No flaws and the selection is massive odds on! The apparent “flaws” or doubts eg is it fit? will it get the trip?, handle the ground? be trying? are what gets you a decent price! But I wanted to make sure I had the whole day to focus and that’s why this week’s report is being written on Sunday night at midnight!

Tuesday:

A great day! I was able to give you advance warning we were going to have a bet that would send the bookies diving for cover so could prepare and be able to get your  money on and enjoy a decent win bet.

Sure enough they ran around like headless chickens as we dived bombed them with Dazzling Begum! Bookies are such cowards aren’t they? But what a cracking win! Great gamble, perfectly executed.  They’d run the horse over 7f the week before as a “prep” race (he needed a lot further). He didn’t run so well that day as it was too short and he could only get going at the end of the race when his stamina advantage kicked in. But the good news was it meant we got a much better price.

And that’s why he was suddenly stepped up to 1 mile 2 furlongs! That was the “flaw” that got us a great price because while other punters were asking “what chance has he got when he only finished 4th in his last race?” even serious form students could hardly fail to notice he was outpaced in the early stages of the (much shorter) race and stayed on at the end to be closest at the finish and only just over a length down! Luckily most people do not have 10 hours a day to trawl through each day’s form!

I guess it helped that my spies had spotted him working really well on the gallops at Newmarket in the early morning too! … So not only did we know he was fit, ready and had improved but the race was perfect as well. That’s part of the reason why my fellow Professionals wanted to be on so big.

Perhaps like me you bet him again in the evening when he started drifting out. I couldn’t get enough on myself in the morning. Talking of getting bets on I’m still looking for a couple more serious people to help get money on so if you know anyone that likes to win money betting horses ask them to call the office and mention your name.

Wednesday:

The jump season is getting into swing and our biggest bet of the new jump season so far (Winged D’argent) won handsomely.  Sadly the second bet was only placed but it still ended up a decent day. It would have been a fabulous day if the second half of our each-way double had managed to get in the frame after the first leg, Bold Ring won! Would have been over 128 points additional profit!

It should have been a bigger winner. I was out when I got the call and in the time it took to drive back to the office the price had dropped from 6/1 to 9/2. At 6/1 I would have had 10pts each way and we’d have enjoyed a fabulous 75 point win! I was upset we’d missed the cream and scaled my bet back because I hate missing a price I should have taken. It was still a good win but could have been great

As a result of that I bought a new internet enabled phone this weekend which I’m hoping will allow me to text you bets when I’m away from the computer because we have missed a couple of good winners when I’ve been out and away from my desk.

Thursday:

Blimey! Thursday was bad last week and the same this week. Just an unfortunate coincidence I’m sure! Dunes Queen was Channon’s best filly based on home gallops and Roman Republic had been destroying good horses at home. Yet both ran terrible. Maybe the ground was too tacky at Newbury (when soft ground dries out it goes through a kind of “glue-pot” stage before it ends up good fast racing ground). I just don’t know. Both were ran too bad to be true despite carrying colossal amounts of money. A very odd couple of results. I’m sure you’ll see both these horse will dramatically improve and run in some very high quality races in the future. Keep an eye on, though I’ll be nervous of betting them heavily after letting us down so badly. But the danger was an 80 Points hit in two races is the kind of loss that knocks confidence and can tempt one into chasing.  It also makes it very hard to win money on the week!

The next two bets were great confidence boosters though winning at good odds of 11/2 and 3/1. Once again we were back in the grove. To win money betting horses is my favourite hobby and you’ll hear me say it over and over again! Fantastic and even though they were small bets it was a welcome injection of cash.

Friday:

A Great day to win money betting horses! 3 bets, 2 good winners! That’s now 4 winners out of the last 5 bets at odds of 11/2, 3/1, 7/2 and 9/4. It’d be hard not to win money betting when you’re backing horses at those odds! Profit on the week had now zoomed up to £14,575.00. Incredible when we’d had two of the biggest losing bets ever! The office took several calls from clients who were understandably delighted … but more importantly they reported that it gave them immense confidence knowing we could pull winners like that out of the bag like a magician pulling rabbits out of a hat!

I can’t take all the credit for those winners though. I’m extremely fortunate to have an extremely good, well informed and well connected team of Professionals I work with. Over a year they all win money betting on their own information but the real juice is when they feed valuable information into our “head office”. The cross matching of it provides a rich basis of horses to consider. For example if two of them want to bet different horses in a race I might leave it alone … or have a forecast!

I’m simply the “Racing Editor” who sifts through it all and tries to make sense of it. Of course I have my own input too and in the end the decision to bet or not and how much to invest is all down to me. But I’d just like to recognise our team did us proud and are worth every penny of the £1,000’s I send them every month even though it does seem an awful lot of money! ouch!

To win money betting horses requires an immense amount of studying and analysing as well as solid information about all aspects of horse racing. I spend around 12 hours a day studying and discussing racing much to my girlfriend’s dismay! But because I have such a great team of trusted Professionals helping us it means we can bet horses in many different races.

I’ve often been asked … “How come you can bet so many winners in a week? I find it tough to bet one or two!”

Well now you know … it’s teamwork!

And let’s not forget that you are part of that team too. Because while information, form study, speed figures, draw, ground, jockeyship, trainer form, trainer styles, track layout, breeding and pace analysis are all important it’s equally important to get the money on! All Professionals discover they can win money betting horses sooner or later … but getting bets on becomes harder and harder the more you win. I thank you for your contribution in that area.

Saturday:

A good winner, Tataniano (watch him he’ll be a good chaser one day), a solid each way saver bet that was placed and a rather juicy bet on a unlucky 9/1 gamble that was only beaten just over a length in a race that was run at too slow a pace to suit him. He needs a stronger gallop. We notched another small win bringing the profit on the week up to a handsome £14,975.00 to my £100 per point stakes (or £1,497.50 to the more typical £10 per point of many clients) A good weeks wages I’m sure you agree!

Last week’s tiny 10 point loss was recovered more than 10X  proving you can win money betting horses without resorting to panicky tactics like retrieval staking, doubling up or other such suicidal plans! Steady Professional betting wins money at the end of the day!

Speak Monday

All the best
