Week 22 Loss £12,860 Detailed Horse Racing Results 

Week 22 Loss of £12,860 but Profit on Month £27,387.50

Let’s start with the positive elements of week 22 because there’s no doubt it was a tough week. The National Hunt bets were superb! We bet in 5 races and had 3 winners, and one 5/1 each way bet 2nd. That’s an 80% strike rate for returns and a 60% strike rate for winners.

First Point, Riverside Theatre and Shoreacres all won and Storm of Applause was an each way bet at 5/1 which came 2nd so a breakeven bet.

As we’re just at the beginning of the New National Hunt Season it does wonders for your confidence about our bets over the sticks.

Sadly the Flat bets were stinkers. The top and the bottom of it is the Flat horses have now gone over the top and are unreliable betting mediums. We will be playing on the All Weather as horses are trained for a winter campaign on it. But the Turf Flat horses will be very much on the back burner from now.

We’ve had worse and come through laughing!

Ok week 22 was a bad week no question. But let’s put it into context.  We lost £12,860 or 129 points. In fact that’s not our worse week. It may surprise you to recall we had one even worse earlier in the season! Week 12 was a horrible 183 point loss which looked pretty bad at the time. We dropped from a running total profit of £90,019.50 down to a profit of £71,644.50. And it felt worse because it’s the only time we’ve had two losing weeks in a row. It followed a small loss of 13 points the previous week.

That week I lost several good clients who thought the winning run had come to an end and we’d never enjoy the Golden Days again. How wrong they were! I was sad to see them go because I knew they’d be missing out, but could understand their grief at that time. It’s never any fun losing.

But like all situations in life there are interesting lessons. And as Professionals it’s important we learn from each experience so we get better and stronger. Just as atheletes, footballs, rugby players train each day to get better … we need to train and hone our mental skills at betting. Because that’s really what we’re working with … a mental muscle.

If I may I’d like to share the story of one client who was tempted to give in when we had those previous two losing weeks and who has since become a good friend. Allow me to call him Chris.  After week 12 Chris rang me to say

“Sorry Bob, I’m leaving. No hard feelings, I’m still over 4 figures up (£1,000 up) but I think I’ll try some other tipsters who seem to be doing better this week”

(well they could hardly do worse could they!)

I thanked him for his time with us and explained we were sad to see him go … then the next day he had a change of heart and decided to stick the rest of the month out with us … (and without scoring points and not mentioning any names because I thinks that would be unprofessional his other tipsters performed poorly and he dropped them one by one! it seemed they just had a lucky good week when we had a bad one)

I was delighted Chris stayed with the Service because within 3 weeks profits had DOUBLED from £71,644.50 to an incredible £144,487.00! In this game you never know when you’re going to hit a Golden Spell. It couldn’t have come at a better time!

… and he didn’t have to wait for 3 weeks to have his faith rewarded! The very next week we won £16,107.50 and had recovered 87% of the loss! Then we had a storming week in Week 24, had our best week ever and won a staggering £45,580!! Cumulative winnings shot up to £132,332.00 and we had a massive celebration! Many clients enjoyed their best winning day every when we scorched the bookies with a 19/1 winning double and two great winners at 3/1 and 4/1! The following week added another £12,155.00 and profits were doubled!

Chris rang me last week …

It was good to hear from Chris last week and he warmed my heart with a really encouraging message.

“Bob I just want you to know I have every faith in you and I’m sticking with you. I’m still 5 FIGURES UP (my capitals i.e. over £10,000) and waiting for the next bet. I realise now these things ebb and flow but you keep piling the profits up so I’m with you all the way”

Chris’s call cheered me up no end because it made me realise that my most experienced clients probably felt the same way and knew this was just a minor storm to be ridden out on our journey.

Because I’ll be honest with you on Saturday after some of those results I felt awful. For a second I thought about throwing in the towel. It was a really crap day! I don’t mind losing but I don’t enjoy it. But when I think about you losing it really upsets me. You see I know that if I have a bad day … or week … or month … that sooner or later I’ll start backing winners again.

The challenge with any investing or gambling is you do have bad spells as well as good. Sometimes you just have rotten luck, or your horses run awful for no apparent reason. But I’ve had 20 years of ups and downs and I know the ups eventually outweigh the downs. Of course nothings certain in racing but I have good reason to expect I’ll bounce back just because I always have.

But you don’t know that yet. We launched this Service on June 5th so we’ve only had 5 months of track record. True our 5 months is more like 2 years of many services because of our high volume of bets.  But 2 years isn’t 20 years and so it’s hard to have faith and it’s easy to get disheartened.

Betting is an Negative Sum (Emotional) Game

Now what do I mean by that? Allow me to illustrate with an example because this also explains why so many people give up on a winning formula.

If you had a good job that paid say £52,000 a year you’d happily collect your pay cheque each month. You might not like your boss, or your work but you’d never have to worry about cash.

Now suppose you decide to become a Professional Punter or Stock Market Trader and your target is to make £52,000 a year or £1,000 a week. That’s the same as the good job … but if you were employing someone like me to do all your research and analysis you might only have to “work” for 20 minutes a day!

Week 1 you make your target £1,000 and celebrate because you only worked 20 minutes a day and had lots of free time to enjoy it!

Week 2 you have a fabulous week and win £4,500! You start wondering about all the things you might buy with your new wealth and start thinking maybe your target should be £150,000 a year! You are flying and feel on top of the world!

Week 3 you lose £500 … mmm a bit subdued but hey you’re still £5,000 up and well ahead.

Week 4 you lose £1,000.  You feel awful. You begin to wonder if you’re cut out for this. You doubt yourself. You think about things you could have bought and didn’t, and now can’t.  You are in pain emotionally and it’s not funny.

STOP …

Look at what’s really happened. Over 4 weeks you’ve made an average profit of £4,000 or £1,000 a week. It took you about 20 minutes a day. You’re bang on target  … yet you’re about to call it a day! Why? It’s madness?

The reason is we get MORE pain from losing £1,000 than we get pleasure from winning £1,000.

Think about it. Suppose I told you tomorrow you could make your way to your local Town Hall sign your name on a form and collect a free gift of £100 for doing so.  How keen would you be to make the journey?

What if you would be FINED £100 if you didn’t go? And if you didn’t the bailiffs would be round that afternoon to collect it and physically take it out of your wallet or bank account? Now would you go?

Most people will do more to protect themselves from loss that they will to gain an equal amount. It’s normal and quite sane. The challenge is that when you bet or trade for a living… even though you may make good money … every time you lose you suffer more than you enjoy the equivalent win.

Winning £500 give say 10 units of pleasure. But losing £500 .. oh oh, that’s 20 units of pain!

What this means is if you bet or trade for a living you will gradually lose “deposits” from your “Emotional Bank Balance”

Professionals find ways to make “happiness” deposits

One reason Professionals last in the game is they find a way to keep their spirits up. You rarely see a depressive person betting. They don’t last long if they do. Most people who gamble or trade are on average happier, more positive than the rest. I bet you are too? Think about it? Aren’t you more positive on average than most of the people you know?

It’s no coincidence. Anyone who has the ability to sustain an interest in stock market investing, business entrepreneurship or gambling has found a way to get more pleasure out of everyday things  … someone like this is constantly making deposits in their Emotional Bank Account. So just like a real bank account when you need an emergency withdrawal (like when you’ve just had a bad week say!) you have something to draw on.

The secret of feeling good and having enough emotional strength to carry on is to do stuff that makes you feel good. Now

some people make themselves feel better is by chemicals. Alcohol, drugs. Alcohol works true. But better in moderation. Drink too much and you start feeling worse than you did before! The trouble is it doesn’t work long term because you just wear yourself out. The best way is to do things on a regular basis that make you feel good and are good for you.

Going to the gym, working out, seeing a film, taking a loved one out for a meal, going on holiday, learning something new, playing a sport, developing a skill. Things like this take your mind off your worries and free you to get back in the game, make good decisions and win again.

Lets be frank. Making money by betting or trading is easy when you’re winning. But because of the losses in between the wins it’s one of the hardest things to do emotionally for long periods of time.

5 Winning Months

I still feel bad about last week. It still hurts and I’ve been betting for 20 years. So don’t ever think you will be immune to those types of feelings because it’s very natural.

But it helps to find a better way of looking at things. to Re-frame into the positive. Here’s a different way of looking at it that may help.

And I have a n apology to make. Because I send you a WEEKLY report I’ve been guilty of encouraging you to look at racing over too short a time frame.

Imagine you made a decision to whether to continue betting or not after every race.

You could never last long in racing with those rules. No matter how good you are. No matter what information you have. No one, but no-one bets 100% winners. So if you based your decision on whether to continue based on the result of each race you’d stop after your first loser. Your racing career would be no more than 1 or 2 races.

What about basing your decision on whether your winning or losing at the end of the day? I reckon you’d last about 5 days at most. You usually have at least one losing day a week.

We’ve been betting on this new Service for 22 weeks and now we’ve had 4 losing weeks. That’s 6x as many winning weeks as losing but I can tell you I have lost clients whenever I’ve had a losing week. A week is too short to really judge how good this service really is.

If you look at it monthly you get a different picture. Here’s the results split down by month since the launch of the service on June 5th

  •          June                Profit    £45,892.50
  •          July                 Profit    £11,367.00
  •          August            Profit    £29,267.50
  •          September      Profit    £71,805.00
  •          October          Profit    £27,387.50

Where are the losing weeks now? Every month is a winner! They’ve been smoothed out in the larger picture. You see the longer view you take the more accurate you get in many ways. One day or week can be up or down and doesn’t really show you the big picture.

But 5 months winning! Month after month! That’s impressive and clearly shows something interesting is going on. Clearly the bets behind those figures must be quite special. No matter how any one day or week has been. The overall picture is one of healthy profit don’t you agree?

And actually I think a month is a bit short. Most Professionals I know base their performance on a YEAR’S results. Are they up or down on the year? Not the week, not the month, though both are of interest. You can have a bad week or month. But if you’re well up on the year does it really matter? Stopping when you’re ahead just because you have a little losing spell is like killing the goose that laid the Golden Egg!

Monday:

Good start to the week 2 winners out of 3 bets. Master Rooney was a horse that the Brian Smart stable had always thought a lot of as at home he was one of their bets 2 YO. They realised he needed dropping back in trip and the 7 f had been his undoing last time. He won well beating the strongly fancied favourite and both finished clear. A horse to watch out for next year.

Tuesday:

I sent you a text about Lumnious Gold as my contacts were so upset he’d been allowed to run. Forced to more like it! He took ages to get in the stalls and clearly did not want to race, something had upset him. They tried  half a dozen times for what seemed like 10 minutes although normal procedure is to give up after 3 attempts and the horse has to be withdrawn. Quite why they persevered so desperately I don’t know but his chance was ruined and not surprisingly he faded tamely after wasting so much energy fighting the handlers and getting worked up.

Wednesday:

Silent Wonder ran well enough but the unraced Charlton horse  Affluent was too classy. I knew the Charlton horse was very nice and working well but they expected him to run green. Their 2Yo haven’t been winning first time out this year so it was a pleasant surprise to them he enjoyed racing so much. Sadly not for us!  Affluent wants putting in your notebook because to run so well when the stables a bit in and out means he really has an engine! Watch out for next year.

Thursday:

A lousy day and all ran awful. Too bad to be true!

Friday:

Blimey! This day could have turned our week around.

3 each way bets at decent odds 4/1, 5/1 and 13/2 were placed but didn’t win. First Point landed another nice gamble for us and the profits from the new Jump Season are really started to rack up now.

Saturday

Only one bit of good news on the day when our sole Jump bet won. This seasons jump bets are really hitting the target which bodes well for a good season. Roll on Cheltenham in March!

Sunday

Another jump bet wins! Shoreacres was another fine winner. you may have wondered why I didn’t put up the hot favourite trained by Nicky Henderson when we’ve done so well with his horses and enjoyed such a good season. Well my spies had seen it schooling last week and they reported back it hadn’t jumped well hitting hurdles! As you know jump racing is all about jumping (you can gain 2/3 lengths at each hurdle)  If you don’t jump it’s hard to win. The reverse was true of our bet who had schooled well so it was a no brainer! We had a tiny each way saver on Uffa Fox because I knew he’d be gambled and they were fancying him. But I was worried about the ground and it proved to be his undoing even though they bet him down to 6/1! That’s why we only had the minimum 1 point bet.

 

All the best

Week 21  Profit £17,255.00 Detailed Horse Racing Results


Cobham, 2.46pm Monday 27th Oct

Awesome week! £17,255.00 Profit!

Dear Colleague

Summary

This is the time of year when our betting on the Flat starts taking 2nd place to the Jumps. Many Flat horses are now losing their summer coat and going over the top making results more erratic. We had more bets over the sticks this week and the week’s results clearly demonstrated that the New Jump Season is now starting to pay its way. Let’s hope it continues as well as it’s started!

6 Bets 4 winners!

We had 6 bets over the sticks with 4 good winners at fantastic prices. We usually have an advantage at the start of a new season because not everyone knows which horses are fit before they’ve run. That means you can get better odds as we did last week.

Ours was pretty stunning as an example. It was hard to believe you could bet at horse a 9/1 that was trading at odds-on in running well before the race was over … and at a very short price for most of the time … he was travelling so well you could call him the winner from a long long way out! First Point at 11/2, The Polomoche at 11/4 and Lysander on Sunday at 13/2 were all great big priced winners too so despite a substandard Saturday with several Flat horses running well below expectations and just the one winner we ended up with a handsome 172 points profit on the week! £17,255.00 to £100 per point stakes. Awesome!

Monday:

Nice start to the week with 2 winners and 2 seconds. But how cruel was Bens Dream? He had to run wide most of the race yet was still well ahead in the last furlong and in the words of the Racing Post was “mown down last strides!”  It was carnage for the “Betting In Running” Professionals who were betting him at 1/5 in the last furlong! Ouch! At least we were on each way at big odds around 11/2 and made a small profit anyway. They lost their shirts! It was one of those races were afterwards you’re left wondering “how the heck did he get beat from there?”

Tuesday:

Pasco ran too free early on yet was still close up and only run out of second close home. Worth keeping an eye on.

Test Match battled for the early lead but as a result blew up in the last furlong after looking like he had the race at his mercy. He needs to be ridden with more restraint.

Wednesday:

A Fabulous Day! Two great winners. Ours was the cream! I love backing 9/1 winners don’t you? Even if you missed that and only got 8/1 you had to be feeling pretty smug when he was an enormous gamble just before the off and went off the heavily backed 4/1 second favourite. He’d been schooling brilliantly and I guess when the bookies were hit for 6 they may have finally twigged it was a proper “job”.  The race was named in honour of the trainer’s grandfather Fred Rimmel and the bookmakers eventually got the clue that Mark (Rimell) might just have laid it out to win this and dived for cover like headless chickens as they so often do when faced with professional money!!

Wajaha was an effortless winner making it a great day.

Thursday:

Profits on the week zoomed up to over £10,000! These are the weeks I love! Our Jump contacts proved they are in excellent form when First Point was well backed and landed a lovely 11/2 winner for us.  Rublevka won a decent bet and the other two bets were both placed. I know they can’t all win but I don’t mind if they go close. This was a really good day!

Friday:

A poor day’s racing and looked like we’d have no bets. Then we got a late message for one which was heavily backed yet ran badly. No excuses and odd because our late messages usually run great.

Saturday

On the plus side our sole bet over the Jumps won well. The Polomoche was another Henderson runner that was having his seasonal debut and proved he was as fit as our spies reported, winning easily and being heavily backed to do so.

The Flat horses were disappointing. Steam Cuisine won the race last year and had been targeted at it yet ran no race. Afterwards they agreed she gone over the top and the race had probably come a week too late. It is hard to get horses to peak for a race and usually you have a 2 week window where you can keep them at peak fitness before you have to let them down and then build up again.

Our reports on Indian Ocean proved to be accurate as we’d heard he was working better than the original favourite (Masterofthehorse) at home (both trained by same stable) he beat him in the race but neither were good enough and it looks like their horses have also gone over the top after a long hard season.

Sirroco Breeze travelled like the best horse but found disappointingly little when Ted asked him to quicken. They blamed the ground but I’d like to reserve judgment. He’s such a good horse at home he wins his gallops on the bridle so they didn’t know how good he was. It’s possible he’s a “bridle” horse who finds little for pressure and because he’s used to winning easily at home has never had to develop his battling qualities. Rather like humans who have life way too easy and are over-spoilt by rich parents. They may be talented but often are losers in life! Time will tell.

Sunday

What a great way to end the week! Lysander was a stunning 13/2 winner for us. Sorry we missed the early 7/1 because I wanted to study the race for a bit longer after I got the message. After Saturday I was treading a bit carefully.

He was a great winner and it would have been too cruel if he’d got beaten like Bens Dream. 18 lengths clear at the second last when he hit it, and then blundered at the last as well! He had enough left to still win but it would have been even more authoritive had he not messed up the last two hurdles! He probably went too far ahead too early but was the best horse at the weights so why not!

All in all a Great Week. 172 Points profit is fantastic for a years betting let alone a week! No complaints even though Ben’s Dream getting caught close home cost us another 65 points! Can’t be too greedy I guess! But I do love beating the bookies and giving them a good kick in the pants don’t you?!

 

All the best

Week 20  Profit £450.00 Detailed Horse Racing Results 

£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

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

Week 18 …  A Tough week

Summary and Master Class  Betting tips and Strategies

Here’s where I discuss the week in brief and expand on issues that may have come up during the week that may help with your betting skills and strategies.

A tough week with a small loss of just over 10 points. It’s not exciting at losing anytime but on reflection I felt this was actually a pretty good result.

What!!??? I hear you say. How can a loss be a good result?

Fair comment but here’s my reasons.

The FOUR biggest bets of the week all lost! That’s rare as you’ll know from past results. A disaster really.  A near max 40 points win on Alpha Tauri, 30 Pts ew Act of Diplomacy, and 15 pts ew on Prohibition and Wajaha. Those 4 horses alone accounted for a staggering 160 points loss!

160 Points is Huge and virtually impossible to win in a week. It’s good going for a month! Most people don’t even win that in a year! So we had a serious mountain to climb. To end up just 10 points in the red meant we’d clawed back 150 points from our every day bread and butter betting. That is impressive.

If just one of the each way bets had got into the frame we’d be at least another 20 points to the good. But they didn’t and we did well to hold it to a minor financial scratch when it could have been worse. In any case to be absolutely fair I called one winning bet void  which would have made an 18 point profit.(Soliel Fix) although I know several clients did manage to get on in time.

Master Class

Ok so what is the lesson?

Racing as we know is a volatile, up and down business. That’s one of the reasons so few people stay the trip and end up being Successful Professional Gamblers. They just can’t stomach the roller coaster ride. As soon as they get behind they give up. Or worse, get behind, then double up and double up to try and get out of trouble. That’s the quick road to the poor house and why I do not advocate any type of retrieval staking plans. They’re for amateurs not Professionals.

Giving up when losing means you’ll definitely lose. But at least it means you don’t lose more. But sadly it means you won’t ever end up being a winner! It’s a tough call but a lot better than the second option …

Doubling up, “steaming” or “chasing” losses by increasing bets may get you out of trouble. But it’s more likely to mean you dig a bigger hole!

When I first started betting when I suffered a big loss my temptation was to bet bigger to get level. I soon learned! (painfully! after once losing 7 consecutive £5,000 betting banks)

The correct strategy (assuming your selections/system or information is basically profitable) is to carry on the same, with a modified stake in relation to your betting bank. My variation on this is to continue betting, making the same (hopefully optimum) decisions and trust in the quality of your selections to carry you through the swings. And I do scale back my bets a little.

Why do I scale back if I’m backing the same good quality horses?

The reason is that no matter how good you are, how experienced, we all feel some pain from losing. It’s very hard to inoculate yourself against it. And when you’re feeling emotional pain or distraction it’s almost impossible to make perfect decisions. Try solving a serious problem that needs thinking about while you’re having an argument with your partner. Impossible!

I was chatting to one of our Senior Traders earlier in the week and he used to be an Air Force Pilot. As you know they go through an immense training program, costing over £1,000,000 per pilot. It’s a huge investment.

Obviously to fly a jet at supersonic speeds in all kinds of difficult conditions you need to have an incredible level of skill! But I suspect that part of the training is also mental, related to the ability to perform under stress. So that not only can these pilots fly brilliantly under normal circumstances … but they can still fly brilliantly when stuff is going wrong.

As Professionals we’re never going to have or be able to afford that level or quality of training. But that doesn’t mean we can’t improve and become the best Professional Gamblers possible. So that when stuff goes wrong we still make good percentage calls, not silly dangerous “chasing” ones.

Every day there are opportunities to do the right things, think the right thoughts and practise the best strategies till it becomes ingrained in your personality and it becomes second nature to make the right move even when your emotions are screaming for you to do something else. The more we practise the better we’ll become. Just as a top pilot learns to trust his instruments even though his head is telling him something different (not because there’s anything working with his head but he knows the percentage call is that the instruments are correct and the “head” is making a mistake, possibly due to the limitations of human biology or perception)

So when I have bad luck or bad losses I scale back. Because I know that even though I believe the next bet is a great one … I now know that a tiny bit of my subconscious may be egging me on to “get level” and affecting my judgment. I do truly believe I’m pretty consistent in my betting and mostly resist the urge to steam. But because the cost of getting it wrong is so painful (ie you’re out of the game!) I add just a bit of caution.

So you may have noticed that after those thumping 4 losing bets I did NOT start doubling up or wildly increasing stakes as I might have done when I was an amateur. I just chipped away bet by bet, bit by bit and slowly we eased back towards breakeven without any serious risk. My biggest bet was 12 points and that was on a very rare odds-on chance. Had we been flying on the week I might have had 20 Points.

Yes I know if I’d bet bigger we’d have ended up with a handsome profit on the week. But there would have been a risk of making things a lot worse. My job is to let you know how I bet so you can copy if you wish. It may not be the best strategy but I feel it’s safer. I know we’re going to bet plenty of winners so why worry about trying to bet them this week? I’ve seen too many people go skint and by trying to get level by the end of racing if they start having a bad day. Good days and bad days will come. It’s the bad days you have to be careful of. Good days look after themselves!

Ok now a brief note about the week!

Monday: no bets

Tuesday:

A so-so day but the Prescott horse Reclamation was disappointing. Nora Mae was a good winner but we lost 15% of our winnings due to a withdrawn horse.

Wednesday:

Should have been so good! 4 bets 3 won or placed but the biggest by far, Act of Diplomacy bombed. I was told afterwards it suffered a minor injury but it was a major blow to our bank. 60 points down the hole. That was awful!

Thursday:

Blimey! If Tuesday was cruel Wednesday was a disaster and enough to knock most average punters out of the game.

Alpha Tauri (too bad to be true )and Prohibition (non trier in my view) wiped out 70 points. I was starting to feel like a bank that was about to be nationalised! I did start wondering if the ground was a lot worse than being reported and decided to scale back for protection.

The Kyllachy Kid did restore some losses but as we were losing so much it was scaled back bet of 12 points for caution. He won easily and showed how unlucky we were in week 16 when we bet him each way at 7/1 to win 126 points and got caught on the line!

Friday:

We started making some headway with a fantastic 6/1 winner in Buccellati although it was only a small 5pts ew rather than a more normal 8 or 10 pt bet because I was still trading cautiously.

Saturday:

A day of gambles, near misses and a great finish!

Yaddree finished 5th in the Cambridgeshire and so was a winning bet for clients who’d bet him with the firms offering 5 places (they really all should in a race as hard as this!) To be fair I’ve logged it as a loser though as you may not have bet with those bookies.

Silver Adonis (11/1 down to 7/1)and Ellemajue (14/1 down to 7/1 ) were good gambles just failing to get placed. Either one in the frame would have made the week profitable though Silver Adonis doesn’t look good enough. Keep an eye on Ellamajue.

Total Gallery was a great 9/2 winner and my confidence was starting to return so I passed on several late bets from the track. Packers Hill 5/1, Soleil Fix at 3/1 and Dance the Star at 2/1 all won though I’ve called the Soliel Fix bet void because it went out so close to the off. However one delighted client called me to say he’d got on so at least he ended up in profit on the week. Well done Chris! The race lasted 5 minutes 12 seconds so several clients also got on in running.

These late bets can be very late and are really only for the Full Time Traders on my Professional Traders Service as I know it can be annoying if you get a bet late and can’t get on and end up missing a good winner. But I thought you might like a “taster”, an  insight into how profitable they can be. Not all days will be that good though! I will be offering a Saturday only version of the Professional Service for Clients who work during the week, more details later.

Incidentally it was pointed out to me that I said PACKERS HILL was in the 4m at Redcar when it fact the race was 4.10. Please excuse these typos but I am rushing to text it to you as fast as I can and there may be some slight errors and it’s usually obvious it’s the race about to go off. For example if I get the racecard number wrong just go with the name of the horse. For the record the text was sent at 4.08 and the race was off at 4.11pm

Sunday:

Soldier of Fortune ran ok, was placed but because he dead heated for 3rd it was a small loser instead of a slight winner. No real damage done.

The loss on the week was a minor £10.63p to £1 pp stakes so there’s no profit share and the tenner loss will be carried forward to next week.

Racing Tips By Text Week 5 Report

A quiet week was had by all, due to the traditional lull after Royal Ascot where all the best Flat horses compete. However we still managed 40% winners as well as a break even each way bet with a huge potential return and a profit of 21 points!! … £2,100.00 profit (at £100 a point) from just 5 bets! or 20 points at more like £420.00 which I’m guessing as being closer to the average stake you might consider?

We got off to a great start with our first horse of the week, Atlantic Sport. You probably remember when we backed him on his debut, landing a big gamble where he was expected to follow up at Ascot last year but it turned out he finished lame. He spent the year recovering and you could see from this performance he was back on top form, winning well for us and bringing home a juicy 20 points.

Our biggest win of the week was Mad Rush with a small 5 points each way bet. He won very easily despite having gone up in the weights last week, which proves he should have won last time when we had a 10 point each way bet on him and he was a close, fast finishing 2nd. This would have meant an additional 40 points profit last week?  Bob was starting to wonder if he lacks the desire to win despite working brilliantly at home obviously we’re delighted that isn’t the case! So that is why we only invested 5 points each way rather than a more likely 10 or 15 points each way. Nevertheless it turned around a nice profit from the 2 races and we’re looking for some more bets from the Cumani stable

Our biggest bet of the week was a 20 point ew on Left on the Shelf. You may have thought it was a strange selection as he was up against a red hot heavily odds on favourite but he’s Spearing’s best 2YO. And they thought that he had a great chance of turning the favorite , but at the very least wouldn’t be out of the frame … unless he was shot!! … so represented an each way bet to nothing.

He ran a great race finishing 2nd with the odds on favourite winning… and we had a couple of delighted clients who placed a small forecast on the two making a really nice profit. Our bet broke even so we effectively enjoyed a free bet on a 5/1 chance which had huge potential of a massive profit.

All in all it was a quiet week but we earned a small profit and are looking forward to the rest of the summer.

 

All the best

For and on behalf of Bob Rothman

(away on holiday but phoning bets into the office most days!)

PS Sorry forgot to explain Cigalas’s run and Bob just rang me to make sure you knew.

Disaster struck then when Ciagalas not only didn’t win but couldn’t even get into the frame! The B******y saddle slipped and so I guess the jockey was lucky to finish the race at all. Sadly putting a huge 16 point dent in the profits that was not planned for at all! Amazingly we got it all back by the end of the week, despite our biggest bet finishing 2nd. You’ll notice how Bob’s unique staking plan so often turns an ordinary week into a profitable one.

All in all I’m sure you’ll agree a fair profit for our quietest week so far. The profit to date since the launch of the service 4 weeks ago is now 480 points £47,992.50 for £100 per point bets or £9,598.50 for £20 per point stakes

Horseracing Tips by text Results Week 4

£28,400 profit! Week 4 Results

Blimey! What a week eh?

Percentage wise results were lousy. A poxy 2 winners which is way below average. Nevertheless we cleared a stunning profit of 284 Points! … an amazing £28,400 at my £100 a point!! or £5,680 at £20 a point which I’m guessing as being closer to the average stake you might consider?

So how the heck did we make so much when we had so few winners? Well fundamentally it’s because I vary the stakes according to how good the bet is. Please understand that doesn’t necessarily mean according to how likely the selection is to win. It’s based on the PROFIT I estimate in the bet.

So our best bet, close to a rare maximum was a massive 40 points each way on Faraway Flower. You may well have looked twice when you received the text because it was the biggest bet we’ve had in the 4 weeks of the trail. Maybe you were wondering why?

In a nutshell the forecasted odds on favourite in the race Peters Gift was beaten into 3rd was by a horse of Barry Hills called Golden Rosie. My contacts told me Faraway Flower is a much better filly than Golden Rosie based on home gallops. So we had a great situation where we had a horse that was better than Golden Rosie at home … and she’d already beaten the favourite, Peters Gift! You don’t get much closer to a “lock” than that!

Of course it was Faraway Flower’s debut run and horses often need a race to put them straight mentally and they get the idea of it. Many horses run “green” first time out ie they might get scared by the crowd, or stop running when they hit the front, or any one of a number of other inexperienced errors. You work them as much as you can at home but a real race teaches them a ton. Nevertheless if a horse is working well at home it’s more likely to run well that one who works badly! That’s one reason why I bet her each way. Plus I also knew she’d done plenty of work and was less likely than most to run green.

Many people think an each way bet is weaker than a win. It couldn’t be further from the truth. If Faraway Flower had been a 6/4 favourite I might have only had 20 points win. But at 5/1 I wanted to absolutely lump on each way so had double that bet! Partly it was tremendous value and we had a huge edge. And partly because I couldn’t see him out of the frame! Looked like a “bet to nothing” to me!

Questions … A couple of questions I’ve been asked which might be helpful to all

Is there a site that compares best odds?

Yep, I use www.oddschecker.co.uk. The bookies on it are reliable and so your money should be safe. I’ve bet with them all, (under numerous identities!) they all close you eventually though!

What happens when you start betting £100 a point?

You WILL be closed down. When you win big the bookies will ban you. The only solution is to open new accounts in friend’s names! Enjoy the wins and then move on and bash a new bookie!

If you’ve requested this report it’ll be ready in about 3 weeks. Many thanks too for all the kind comments received about the new service.

In case you hadn’t thought about arbitrage as an additional string to your bow and you don’t have a large tank to bet with. You’ll notice almost every horse I bet shortens quite a bit? Well you can make a small sure profit every race by simply betting the horse at a big price … and then laying it off on one of the exchanges when it shortens. I’m writing a step by step BLUEPRINT on how to do this  … and maximise profits. It’ll retail for around £30 but if you’d like one of the first copies let me know.

New Text Service week 3 Report

Well what a week! First of all I apologise for it being late but I was away in Devon and so couldn’t access my computer.

It started off disastrously and at one stage we were 89 points down (£8900 at my £100 per point stakes!) ouch!

Now we’ve all been there before. I certainly have. It’s at this point that most people bail out, chuck the tail in and retire with a thumping great loss. But you have to stick it out.

It wasn’t pleasant but I was never worried. We both know if you bet fancied horses and get value prices about them in the long run you’ll zoom back into profit. I’ve been there plenty of times before and I’m sure I will be there plenty of times in the future. you just have to knuckle down and focus on backing good horses that are expected to win. Even so I have to admit I was surprised we managed to turn it round so quickly! Before the end of the week. Normally it’d take 2/3 weeks to make that sort of profit.

And I disallowed TWO WINNERS from the report to be scrupulously fair! Dear Maurice, a 10 point bet at 11/10 because several clients didn’t get the message due to an error. And Colony, a 1pt ew at 13/2 because I canceled it 10 minutes later as it was sweating. You might still have bet these horses and if so your personal profit figure will be higher of course. But I didn’t think it was fair to include them in the weekly profit figures hence the comment “ignore” in the report.

Nevertheless we still ended up 26 points in profit £2,630 at my stakes of £100 per point to be precise). Even at say £20 a point it’s still a decent wage of £526 on the week … for just making 19 phone calls or placing 19 bets.

You know from last week one of my favourite and most profitable bets is the each way double and the one on Strawberry Moon and Little Pete at 10/1 and 9/2 was another example of its power. Despite both horses “losing” and only being placed the £500 ew double returned £2,850 winning a handsome £1,850! You can see why bookies hate them! Once in a while you land two winners and this one would have won over £30,000! No one’s complaining at picking up almost two grand as a consolation though!

Once again the single each way bets performed poorly but this was almost all accounted for by the massive 25 point ew bet  on Basanti going astray after a very poor ride. As soon as we land one or two at decent odds the picture will swing dramatically.

Total Profit to date since the launch 3 weeks ago is now £17,492.50 despite two rather poor weeks of results in my opinion. I’m looking forward to the rest of the summer!

One or two clients have told me they’ve had difficulty getting the best prices. I’m afraid that is true. “Getting on” is a life long problem for any Professional Gambler. Amazingly the biggest problem is not backing winners … it’s getting bets on in the size you want and at the price you want. Any fool can have what he wants on at SP. But you leave yourself wide open to the bookies manipulating the odds to whatever price they feel like giving you and it won’t be generous for sure!

The solution is to have as many accounts as possible. If you don’t have accounts with all the bookmakers my website will be live next week and I’ll have links to any reliable bookies who are offering a Free bet when you open a new account. That way you’ll get a spread of accounts so you can take the best odds and make some money out of it too!

A final thought in case you don’t have a large tank to bet with. You’ll notice almost every horse I bet shortens quite a bit? Well you can make a small sure profit every race by simply betting the horse at a big price… and then laying it off on one of the exchanges when it shortens. I’m writing a step by step BLUEPRINT on how to do this… and maximise profits. It’ll retail for around £30 but if you’d like one of the first copies let me know.

 

Yours sincerely
