The 17:30 at Bath was called off yesterday, horrible fog if anyone was watching! 2 losers again yesterday with Ultimate Quest and Fascination both coming third.

WizardBet Help - Essential!

As discussed in our opening posts, WizardBet is much more than another glorified tipping service. We are here to help with other punter's betting and hoping to guide and point you in the right direction. WizardBet is new for the three of us behind the blog, and we are learning all the time also. We have noticed that regular betting lingo may be unusual to many people out there, and have decided that when we post on our blog, if necessary we will explain particular terms and jargon which we use. Please, if we skip over or miss anything, feel free to email (wizardbet@gmail.com) and we will respond and discuss anything which may confuse you or likewise, on anything that you may wish to go over in more detail.

In future, please refer to this page for any further explanation of terms. Thanks.

Asian Books - 
Quite simply bookmakers based in Asia. They are generally quite good on the football in terms of prices and they can sometimes be much easier to get bets on  than with some of the Western books. Some common ones are 188Bet, SBObet, Mansion88 and 12Bet.

Drifting -
A bet which 'drifts' is simply increasing in price. It can happen because of a number of factors and on any selection, i.e a horse which has not been bet in a race, but others have; in a football team whereby a key player has been ruled out just before kick off etc.

'Point' Staking
Point staking is relatively simple. 1pt simply means 1% of your bankroll and so forth. Again, please read our 'Required Reading' section for further information on this. At WizardBet we record our bets on a points basis, but this simply can be converted directly into % too. The same applies for when we say "unit stake." Simply unit, means 'point' too.


2x Staking or 0.5 Staking-
Under our 'Required Reading' we suggest that you bet according to your bankroll. This is the total amount you are willing to bet with. We suggest a 1% stake of your bankroll on horses, and 2% on football. However, we have suggested in some posts that this may vary, depending on the strength of the bet. When we say 'this bet is now worth a 2x bet' we feel that you should effectively double your stake on this particular selection. Likewise, when we say a 0.5pt bet, you should accordingly half your stake.
Effectively then, on football, a 2x bet would equate to 4% of your bankroll, while on horses a 2x bet requires 2% of your bankroll.

General Abbreviations
"Gen" - a price which is widely available with many books
"VC" - Victor Chandler bookmaker
"BF" - Betfair
B.O.G - Best Odds Guaranteed. We only bet with bookmakers offering B.O.G because in case any selection drifts before the off, we get the bigger price. A very useful edge.
S.P - The starting price of the horse. Simply, the final price the horse is immediately before the off.

Midweek Football

Some football picks:

Forest Green
Dagenham
Brighton
Newport

A quick note about the prices on football games - the official record prices that we take are the best prices before the off, usually at some of the Asian books. Obviously take whatever price you feel is best for you, often they can be beaten, but for the purpose of this blog, we use best price at the off.

Good Luck,

WizardBet

Two more...

4:20 Folkestone - 'Duster' at 5/2 general and 11/4 Hills.

Results for Thursday 16th Sept

Sadly no winners yesterday, even though the prices contracted near the off (so well done to all those traders out there as Elysian Heights went off at 6.96 on BF, Jutland went off at 5.0, and Rio Mist went off at 10.0), however other than Jutland who looked too eager in our opinion, none of them looked like winning. There will be a few bets posted shortly so keep an eye out.

Good Luck,

WizardBet

Thursday, 16 September 2010

Required Reading!


Our methods have, in the past, always provided us with healthy profits. However this does NOT mean we will not have a losing run. Gambling professionally does have its low points, and believe me, they can be very, very low. We are confident that our method of gambling will be profitable in the long-run; however we are not to blame if we hit a bad run, which I am sure we will at some point.

Arguably the most important part of gambling professionally is having solid bankroll management in place. Please ensure you are gambling within your limits – if you feel like you are sweating on each game/race then you are betting above your limits! We suggest betting 1% of your bank on horseracing and 2% on football, and then reassessing your stakes when your bank has grown by 25% – it is however your choice.

A requirement of being a professional gambler is to be psychologically strong. A gamblers greatest downfall is human nature, and if you allow it to play a major role in your punting, it will sabotage your profits. Please, please ensure you have the right frame of mind to gamble before following any of our selections.

We are here to offer you support whilst following our selections, therefore if at any point you have any queries or concerns that you wish to raise, feel free to email us at wizardbet@gmail.com, and we will be happy to discuss matters with you in confidence.

If after reading this you feel you are ready to follow our selections, then welcome onboard! Here’s to a profitable future!

Good Luck,
