Welcome!

Here you  and you alone can view the full details of last week’s betting including the horses names.

After a suggestion from one of the Senior Traders I have adopted this format so that public visitors to the site can only access skeletal details and NOT the actual selections we bet on.

This is because bookmakers can run a query on their betting history to identify who bet which horse. If we give them the horses names then they could identify you more easily and may restrict the size of bets you are allowed faster than they normally would. I hope you are ok with the minor inconvenience of using a password in order to protect your privacy.

Passwords will be sent by text each week

£450.00 Profit Week 20

Dear Colleague

Summary

A pretty moderate week by our standards although a £450 betting profit in a week is still good and most everyday gamblers would be delighted to be able to make that sort of money on a regular basis. £450 a week is over £22,000 a year tax free which equates to a salary of close to £30,000. But we’re not everyday gamblers and it wasn’t good enough.

To be fair we did have three huge setbacks. Just one of these would have made a huge 100 point or £10,000 difference on the week.  Ouch! I’ll discuss those below.

On the plus side it’s nice to enjoy winners at 11/4, 4/1 and 6/1. Don’t ask me why but it seems everyone enjoys a big priced winner more than a short odds winner. Even if you win the same amount of money on both bets. Actually last week was unusual in that we had only one bet at shortish odds (13/8) and 70% of our bets were at odds of 4/1 or greater.

Website privacy

A great suggestion from a Senior Trader which I’ve implemented this week. Full details of our bets the results section in the website will now only be accessible by password. He felt bookmakers might be able to monitor your bets if they could see what we’d bet on and I tend to agree. This week’s password is

Now a chat about the week …

Monday:

Oh my word! You should have heard the names Darryl Holand was called after that ride on The Carlton Cannes! We had a massive 20 pts ew at 9/2 and he gave the horse far too much to do. With half dozen lengths to make up on the leader in the last furlong The Carlton Cannes sprouted wings and flew home making up ground hand over fist and just failed to peg back the leader.

That was a winner that got away and cost us plenty. As the winner the bets returns  152.5 points, £15,250 at £100 per point! Arrrrgh!!

Finishing second he made a miniscule profit of £250 ( it was a 1/4 the odds a place race). That’s a huge difference and would have made the week a pretty awesome one instead of mediocre.

Lease of Life won nicely to put us 25 points up on the day but it should have been 135!

Tuesday:

Arrgh!! Daryll, Daryll what are you doing to us?! Prohibition missed the break when we bet him 2 weeks ago and cost us 30 points. Blow me down he did it again! My race readers at the track were convinced he could have been placed anyway but put his stick down and lost 3rd. 12 points down the drain.

I was looking forward to the racing later on because we had wind of a Barney Curly gamble! My spies had spotted some of his men at the track so I put the team on alert to watch and see if the money was down on The Bonus Ball. Sure enough it arrived and we were able to jump in at 4/1 before he was smashed into 7/4 favourite! It’s not often a Curly gamble goes astray when the money’s down but sadly after moving up menacingly half a mile from home he blew up. Clearly he wasn’t as fit as they’d thought. That was a blow and 40 points gone. Ouch! Bad day!

Wednesday:

What a difference a day makes!

Two great early bets both good prices. Axel Foley at 4/1 and Rory’s Sister at 6/1. A couple of clients told me they’d had a double and had a massive day! Good for you! It certainly brought a smile to my face and despite the bad luck earlier in the week we were now sitting on a handsome profit and playing with the bookies money for the rest of the week.

Thursday:

A poor days racing and no early bets. Just one late one, Casela Park who virtually bolted, played up at the start  and was virtually pulled up. Awful!

Friday:

Jessie James was a non runner so make sure you get your stake back if you bet in cash in a betting shop.

Donaldson made a bad mistake early on and was pulled up. However seeing the way Jonjo’s horses have been running the last couple of days I’m not sure they are 100% at the moment and I’ll be giving them a miss till they start firing again.

Then we had three horse all who looked like winning at the end of their races and just failed. Monterrico was leading a furlong out but was headed and didn’t get home because he pulled too hard and didn’t settle.

Milne bay was punted down to favouritism, cruised up two out and looked all over the winner trading at short odds in running, then failed to last home. Connections thought maybe the race had come too soon and are giving him a longer rest.

Cockney trucker was the best horse in the race and should have won. Richard Johnson held him up to get him settled as he’d got worked up before the race and then as he was moving into contention landed on all fours two out. He came right back into it and was beaten half a length at the line after trading at 1/5 in running over the last! Everyone was convinced he’d have won with a more positive ride and it was another winner that got away. Big bet too! 15 points ew. Ok like The Carlton Cannes we got most of the stake back But the win was worth 65 points and would have made a big difference on the week

One of our Senior Traders pointed out that many of our bets trade at very short prices in running and was even considering putting up a very short price lay bet around 1.2 (ie 1/5!!!)in running to save his stake on our horses. To be honest I haven’t really studied it but I certainly noticed last week how many traded at well below the odds we’d taken and you could have secure a risk free profit on several bets for sure.

Personally I’d rather win more than hedge but if you do like the idea it might be worthwhile opening an account with one of the exchanges, Betfair or Betdaq being the main two.  I’ve put a link on the website so you can get a free £25 bet when you open an account. It might be a good idea to have an account with them anyway as sometimes you get better odds than with the bookies. Go to www.HorseRacingPro.co.uk/free-bets.htm to secure your £25 or just click on the free bets tab when you’re on our website.

All the best
