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.

Week 25 Profit £11,582.5.00 Detailed Horse Racing Results

Cobham, 10.05 pm Monday 24th Nov

Week 25 – £11,582.50 Profit!

Another solid weeks profits! Ten grand plus! In a week. That’s half a million pounds a year! Amazing really. Can you now see how it really is possible to earn a fabulous 6 figure income … simply betting horses for a living!

Of course that sounds easy and any professional knows it isn’t. There is an enormous amount of work that goes on behind the behind the scenes by the various team members who help us out. Most Professionals I know put in at least 10/12 hours a day solid … and would like to do more!

… and then there’s the sharp end. Getting the bets on. It’s not as easy as people first imagine. In fact I bet most of your friends  have no idea what a sweat it is to try and get the best price. Rushing to the bookies or trying to log onto your internet account before the odds evaporate like Scotch Mist as the yellow-belly bookies dive for cover!

I know how hard you must work getting trying to get the best odds and applaud you for your efforts … many punters think it’s just a question of ringing up your bookies or slapping a grand down on the counter and the bet’s on. I wish! I know how frustrating it is to miss the best prices too.  Because you know that over a period of time you’ll back plenty of winners. And every time the bookies cheat you of a point they are effectively stealing cash out of your pocket.

It infuriates me how they get away with taking any bet off a mug punter who loses all the time … but as soon as you start backing “warm” horses they don’t want to know you. I’ve been rushing around for 20 years opening up accounts and betting under disguises so I know it all too well. If you lose, the bookies welcome you with open arms and a big smile. Then when you start winning … or even looking like you’ll win (because you’re backing the horses they don’t want you to!)

Ok, that’s enough moaning about bookmakers cutting odds too quickly. Because unusually the odds for one of our biggest bets this week, Issaquah at 5/1 … were there all day long! … and you could still get 5/1 at the off. The bookies took a serious caning and we cleaned up nicely! Ok so how did the week go?

Monday:

Great start again. £3,500 in the bin, a good days “work”!

Tuesday:

Frustrating. Treaty Flyer was run out of the places and made a 12 point hole in the tank. A so-so day.

Wednesday:

Horrible. Jokers Legacy blew up after looking like the winner. Joe’s a Boy ran a stinker and connections were mystified. They interviewed the trainer on TV afterwards and he had no clue. Maybe it was the ground. Maybe someone kicked him in the goollies before the race? who knows. He was punted into the ground as if he was a cert .. and ran a shocker. Very odd. Just one of those events in racing you have to take on the chin. Rumble of Thunder ran 3rd but two non runners meant the places were reduced to 2 so he was a loser.

International Debut landed a lovely gamble but the same trainers Bishopbriggs ran too free and didn’t handle the bend. Three Ducks ran green and will improve. He was disappointing, they expected a win as you could tell from the huge gamble on him.

Thursday:

Two nice winners. A big bet on Gone to Lunch landed with consummate ease. And another easy 4/1 winner when Jigsaw Dancer bolted in on his chase debut. He’d been jumping brilliantly at home. Eastern Warrior and Bullet Man were both expensive 4ths, just missing the frame and costing us a valuable 22 points.

Friday:

How did Prince of Beauchene not win? Coolly letting the front runner get a 20 length lead he ran him down and took it up looking sure to win. Then got caught close home. Maybe if he’d made his effort earlier and taken it up sooner he would have won easily? It didn’t really matter because we cleaned out the bookies big time with Issaquah a big 20 point each way bet.

I know we’ve discussed this before but one new client asked me a question I must get asked every week so if I may I’d like to just touch on it very briefly …

“Does an each way bet mean you are less confident?”

NO!! absolutely not.

As you know I love betting each way. I’ll bet all sorts of crazy prices each way because I believe we win more by doing so. Of course you don’t have to copy me. But I think you will win more (and lose less) if you do.

For the record if I was only allowed to bet Issaquah win only for example (as some bookies insist on the racetrack) then my bet would have been a 10 or 12 point win. It’s precisely because of the insurance of the place bet that allows you to bet bigger! Often being able to bet each way make a horse a STRONGER bet, not weaker as we discussed before.

Saturday

The hardest day’s racing of the week because so many owners want to win on a day they can go to the races with friends. They’re all trying! Yet we still managed to put another 21 points or £2,160 on the scoreboard. Let’s face it, if you could make £2,000 every Saturday I’m betting you’d be very happy!

Our two biggest bets won and 4 small bets lost. Yet we still made a good profit. That because we bet in proportion to the winning chance of the horse and the value on the bet not some numpty, level-stake betting system which needs no brains to operate and reduces your profit potential.

Sunday

– No bets.

Summary

Over 25 weeks we’ve made £213,897 at £100 per point stakes. that’s an average of  an average of £9,299.87 per week. So I guess you would say we had an above average week! Of course if I was offered a job at £9,000 a week I think I’d have to seriously consider it even though I love betting horses.  Because there is always the chance you can lose, with a job you get paid (for a while anyway) whether you do a good job or not so good. No luxuries like that in  betting! We have to be excellent all the time to even stand a chance of winning.

Many clients have been with me since the launch in June and know there are ups and downs. I know it seems so easy when we are winning. But please bet sensibly, stake in proportion to your bank and perhaps you’d like to note the guidance I give in the points suggested. It does seem like we always win in the end I know. But we have had two spells of two losing weeks … and so mathematically I guess it’s just as likely to have one spell of 4 weeks instead! Ouch!

Gambling is a volatile business and the rewards can be immense. But there are ALWAYS losing spells and anyone who tells you otherwise is an idiot or a con man. I still remember when I started betting back in 1987. Winning £440,000 in my second year was fantastic!  … but … wait for this … In that year … I had TWO losing months. Hard to believe isn’t it? Trust me I was dumbstruck. But it happens and just as day follows night and summer follows winter you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and carry on.

That’s if you can.

Because if you lose your tank the game is over. And I’m mentioning this because I lost two clients after our bad spell 2 weeks ago and that makes me really sad. Because if they’d been able to stick it out … they would now have won almost twice as much as they lost over those two weeks … and that’s not even accounting for the massive cushion of profits already built up before.

That’s why your first priority must be always to make sure your bets are small enough that you can withstand a losing run. To win you have to be able to stay in the game. Over 25 weeks I’ve shown you it is possible to win … and win pretty big. Over an enormous number of bets. So clearly no fluke. But I won’t pretend it’s easy and missing a winner or the odds will cost. The good news is the evidence shows if we keep doing what we’ve always done … we should always win eventually.

Great to have you on board because it is so much more enjoyable when I know you’ve won as well. Somehow winning together enhances the experience. I guess winning alone is a bit like being Scrooge at Xmas! So thanks for being part of the team and making it so much more enjoyable for me …

All the best
