Update

Today and Yesterday

No horse bets today as there is no racing.

There may be football bets, but limited man power is slowing things down today!

Yesterday:

Hucking Hero 3rd
Chillie Billie weakened
Forest Rhythmn 2nd

-3pts for the day, in a very disappointing 20mins!

Thursday, 21 April 2011

Shorty Thursday

Maybe more to come later:

2.20 Lud - Hucking Hero @ 7/4
2.30 Folk - Chillie Billie @ 11/8
2.40 Winc -Forest Rhythmn @ 2/1

All 1pt picks. Good Luck

Results from yesterday

Results:

Epsom:
2-00 - Breathless Kiss @ 15/2 = -1pt
2.35 - Kings Troop @ 7/1 = -1pt
2.35 - Zigato @ 13/2 = -1pt
4.20 - Calaf @ 5/2 = -1pt

Newcastle:
5.35 - The Galloping Shoe @ 3/1 = -1pt
6.05 - Capable Guest @ 9/1 = WON at SP 14/1 = +14pts
6.35 - Danadana @ 7/4 = WON at SP 15/8 = +1.875pts
7.05 - Galpin Junior @ 17/2 = -1pt
7.05 - Rio's Girl @ 6/1 = -1pt

Kempton:
7.50 - Parlour Games @ 11/4 = WON at advised price = +2.75pts
9.20 - Ongoodform @ 3/1 = -1pt

3 Winners, and if Capable Guest did not show the importance of getting BOG on your selections, nothing will. When betting to level stakes, those extra 5pts profit make the world of difference.

P&L = +10.625pts - a very decent day, hope you got down.

There will be some bets today - but not many on a poor-ish day of racing. Post to follow

Tuesday, 19 April 2011

Results

Southwell:
Beautiful Day 2nd = -1pt
First Rock 2nd and Irish Jugger won, at SP 9/2 = +3.5pts on the race
Academy Blues 3rd, slow start = -1pt

Wolves:
Rainy Night, chased, but outpaced = -1pt
Empress Charlotte 2nd, Titan Diamond 3rd =  -2pts
Bertie Blu Boy won, stayed strong under pressure, but wins by a head for 2pt bet @ advised 5/1 = +10pts

Pontefract:
Devoted never really got going = -1pt
Markington, held up and never got going either = -1pt
Hail Bold Chief 4th, remained close throughout = -1pt
Buddy Holly, weakened = -1pt

Bath:
Dr Wintringham 2nd = -1pt
His Grace weakened = -2pts
Morning Chief one paced when mattered = -1pt
Worth, stayed in touch, but not strong enough = -1pt
Misaro, strong enough start, but weakened too = -1pt
P&L for the day: -1.5pts

Despite one of the 2pt bets winning, a small loss produced on the day. Overall a mixed bag, but that is certainly expected at this time of year with the start of the flat season and the end of the AW and NH season. We also acknowledge that the volume of bets has gone up, but we remain confident that we'll counter this with more winners. It remains to be said that if you are uncomfortable with staking too many points per day, either reduce your stakes, or feel free to get in touch with us, and we can advise.

For any people who play forecasts etc, we landed one in the 4.00 Southwell, with the payout £24.43 for a £1 stake, and we were damn close to another, in the 7.15 Wolves.

Football:

Two underdog bets, and one duly obliged, with Darlington coming from behind to win away at Kidderminster. Newcastle drifted out to 6/1 around 30 mins before kick off, but they could only hold Man U (we feel they were slightly hard done by with a very valid penalty turned down in the 2nd half!)

Darlington = +3.91pts
Newcastle = -1pt

Football P&L = +2.91pts

Hope you got down, back tomorrow.

Late Football Bets

Couple of underdogs tonight.

Newcastle
Darlington

No price advised but minimum you should take its 5/1 Newcastle and 10/3 Darlington.

Good Luck

Couple More

Final few for today:

Bath:
6.00 - Morning Chief @ 9/2
6.30 - Worth @ 7/1
7.30 - Misaro @ 13/2

5.30 - His Grace, as advised earlier is now a 2pt bet. 5/2 is still around.

GL

Today's Bets

A fair few to get through with 5 meetings today. Slim chance of another couple of bets in about an hour or so.

Southwell
3.30 - Beautiful Day @ 7/1 Betinternet, 6/1 general
4.00 - First Rock @ 7/2
4.00 - Irish Jugger @ 7/2

Wolves
6.45 - Rainy Night @ 6/1

5.10 - Buddy Holly @ 9/2

Bath
5.00 - Dr Wintringham @ 9/2
5.30 - His Grace @ 5/2

A lot of points bet today, lets hope for a decent day. Prices given at best main-stream BOG bookmaker as usual. GL

(Betinternet tends to stay more in line with Betfair prices, so anything which is over on Betfair, Betinternet are likely to have a higher price than most bookmakers. They also offer BOG.)

Results - Sat, Sun and Mon

Only one football bet - Everton, and they duly obliged with an easy win over struggling Blackburn = +0.79pts

Sat Horse Picks:

Modun - won at SP 7/2 as a 2pt bet = +7pts
Verdant - tracked leaders early, but weakened = -1pt
Cape Dollar - always chasing but never enough = -1pt
Royal Defence - see above = -1pt
Rasheed - poor run = -1pt
Changing The Guard - caught up = -2pts
Hits Only Jude - help up early on and weakened = -1pt
Keys Of Cyprus - never looked like threatening = -1pt
High Standing - one paced = -1pt
Night Lily - chasing throughout = -1pt
Galloping Queen - outpaced = -1pt
Bridle Belle - no impression throughout = -1pt
A very mediocre day, one of the worst I can think of in terms of performance. Only saved by Modun winning as a 2pt bet. - 5pts

Sunday:
Courella - ran well, and prominent, but soon weakened = -1pt

Monday:

Dolly Parton - weakened on finish - an all to familiar theme this weekend! -1pt
September Draw 3rd - ran strongly, but one-paced = -1pt
Mymumsaysimthebest 2nd - held up early on, but ran strongly. Never likely to catch the winner = -1pt
Communicator 2nd - always chasing the leader = -1pt

-4pts for the day.

Not the greatest few days, but at least Monday our performance picked up with 2nds and 3rds. We're feeling relatively confident with the flat season, as it is something which has provided us with much joy before. Fingers crossed we can transfer this optimism with some good profits.

Thanks

Grand National Day:
Many congratulations to Ballabriggs and jockey Jason Maguire, who fought back injury sustained on the first day at Aintree to hold off Oscar Time in the 4.15. Our thoughts however turn to Ornais and Dooney's Gate who were both fatally injured. It is something that no horse racing or sports fan wants to see, but it is unfortunately a risk which will also remain.
On a personal note, our two bets advised in the National ended up with Majestic Concorde running very well early on, but after looking like weakening, the rider became unseated. Quinz was also running well, but pulled up - the temperature a likely factor.

Others:
Spirit Son WON @ advised 7/2 after a superb finish, winning by 13 lengths = +3.5pts
Majestic Concorde = -2pts
Quinz = -2pts
Apologies about Tinkertown. For some unknown reason I put the race at Aintree, when in fact it was Lingfield - god knows why! For those who didn't back it for this, good for you! -1pt
Miss Sarenne unseated rider = -1pt
Abstract Art 4th = -1pt
Hamish Mcgonagall 3rd = -1pt
Munaseeb WON at advised 3/1 after a commanding win = +3pts
King Olav 2nd = -1pt
Loyal Royal WON as 2pt bet at SP 7/1. An incredible race - bad start and behind early, but on two cracks of the whip saw a stunning run to lead 1 furlong out and win. A nice touch = +14pts
Rhal 2nd = -1pt

Sat Horse P&L = +10.5pts

Sunday saw no horse bets.

Monday:
Spinning Ridge = -1pt
Scoglio = -1pt
Polemica 2nd = -1pt
Nibani 2nd by a short head = -1pt
WHodathought = -1pt

So with a bit more luck we could have possibly had at least one winner. Still, we've been on a decent run, so can't expect it all. -5pts for monday.

Football:

Swansea WON = +1.3pts
Helsingsborg WON = +1.3pts
Bolton WON = +1.52pts
Bournemouth = -1pt
Carlisle = -1pt
Grimsby = -1pt
Liverpool WON = +1.64pts
Leyton Orient = -1pt
Oldham = -1pt
Rushden = -1pt
Tottenham WON = +0.66pts

Football P&L = +0.42pts

So a small profit with a lot of draws proving our downfall. It was certainly crucial that we posted Swansea and Helsingborgs early too, with both going off shorted than the advised price, which has helped us make a small profit.

Overall, a decent weekend, without setting the world alight. A profit though is not something to be sniffed out, and we hope your currently enjoying this run.

Thanks

Grand National Day Pt II

Horse Bets:

A lot to get stuck into. Let's hope it is a profitable one!

Aintree:
1.45 - Spirit Son @ 7/2
3.00 Tinkertown @ 17/2 Hills
Grand National - Majestic Concorde @ 33/1 for 1pt EW. (Back at VC as they are paying 6 places. Too good an offer to refuse!)
                          - Quinz @ 1pt EW @ 14/1 VC (although higer elsewhere, but we prefer the 6-places)


1.55 Bangor - Miss Sarenne @ 3/1
2.25 Bangor - Abstract Art @ 17/2 VC
3.15 Thirsk - Hamish Mcgonagall @ 4/1
4.00 Ling - Munaseeb @ 3/1
5.40 Ling - King Olav @ 4/1
6.20 Wolves - Loyal Royal @ 6/1 VC (2pts)
7.20 Wolves - Rhal @ 9/2

Results

So, just when we thought today was going to contrast yesterday, we land 2 winners from our last 2 bets of the day. Relief!

Sir Geoffrey, 3rd = -1pt
Nawaashi, 3rd = -1pt
Yojimbo 6th = -1pt
Angelo Poliziano 6th, = -1pt
Illustrious Prince, 7th = -1pt
Rambo Will WON @ advised 4/1 for 2pts = +8pts
Island Legend WON @ advised 4/1 = +4pts

P&L = +7pts for the day.

It was merely by chance that we had no bets for Aintree. It isn't until we go through everything in the morning that we know what our bets are, and its quite feasible that the shortish prices around for the likes of Big Bucks and Zarkander probably acted as the reason for why they were filtered out.

Apolgoies + More

Apologies firstly, and thanks to those who pointed it out. I made a slight error in my calculations for Tuesday's results, recording a 0.5pts profit, when in fact it was a 0.5pt loss on the day.

Finally, today shows the importance of getting Best Odds Guaranteed on your selections. Angelena Ballerina was advised at 7/2, but drifted to 11/2 SP, meaning this gained us an extra 2pts of profit alone. We only put up prices at BOG bookmakers and this is to ensure we can allow for situations like this. It may not last forever, but while we can, it is imperative to use it. Also, when it wins, bookmakers aren't as sour, because at least it means your not trading your picks!

Thanks again

Results

So a lot of points at stake today, but what a day! After a good run of eliminating the losses, we hit a few bad days once more, but today has put those to bed, and has returned us to a profitable figure.

Always Ends Well, 5th, = -1pt
Face The Problem, 3rd = -1pt
Uncle Dermot, 2nd = -1pt
Chimpunk, 4th = -1pt
Frequency WON @ advised 7/4 = +1.75pts
Art History WON @ SP 5/1 as a 2pt bet = +10pts
Amistress WON @ SP 10/1 = +10pts
Far View, nowhere = -1pt
Mutamaleq, 4th = -2pts
Highlife Dancer, weakened and last = -1pt
Angelena Ballerina WON @ SP 11/2 = +5.5pts
Rasam Aldaar, 2nd = -2pts
Indian Jack WON @ advised 5/2 for 2pts = +5pts
Muntasib, 5th = -1pt

P&L = +21.25pts

I think it is probably our biggest return from a day for horse racing, and it certainly is most welcome. Hopefully the flat season can be profitable for us. Hope you got down, and thanks for sticking with us through a difficult jumps season.

Back tomorrow

Info

As we are now posting football bets early, we will be making small changes to the way we settle prices. If a football bet is listed with a price, like the one today, it is because we feel that the value is there currently and that the price will eventually shorten (most of the time.) Therefore, we will settle these football bets at the prices advised. Any other football bets not listed with an early price, like the 'long list' on Saturdays, will be settled by the usual method of the last price traded either on Betfair, or at the big Asian bookmakers, such as Pinnacle, SBO, 188bet etc.

Thanks for your understanding.

Early Weekend Football

We're going to start posting football selections as and when we feel the price is contracting and worth taking. Therefore expect there to be a spread of weekend football selections from wednesday onwards.

Helsingborg (Sweden 1) to beat Elfsborg - 13/10 looks like an attainable price here.
Swansea 13/10 at the tote is worth a take if you can, expect this price to be shorter come the weekend.

Good Luck

6 Apr

One of the busiest Wednesday's I can remember in a long, long time.

14:40 Bev - Always Ends Well @ 8/1 boyle, corbett, VC and Hills. 10/1 betinternet
14:50 Notts - Face The Problem @ 4/1 various. 9/2 Fred.
15:00 Ling - Uncle Dermot @ 3/1 coral, corbett, lads and VC.
15:30 Ling - Chimpunk @ 11/4 gen.
15:30 Ling - Frequency @ 7/4 various.
16:10 Bev - Art History @ 9/2 gen. - qualifies as a 2pt bet
16:20 Notts - Amistress @ 9/1 boyle. 10/1 lads.
16:30 Ling - Far View @ 2/1 various.
16:50 Notts - Mutamaleq @ 7/1 bet365 and Lads - qualifies as a 2pt bet.
17:10 Bev - Highlife Dancer @ 14/1 gen.
17:30 Ling - Angelena Ballerina @ 7/2 gen.
18:40 Kemp - Rasam Aldaar @ 3/1 Coral, bet365 and Fred. - qualifies as a 2pt bet.
19:40 Kemp - Indian Jack @ 5/2 coral, corbett and Hills - qualifies as a 2pt bet.
19:40 Kemp - Muntasib @ 13/2 betint, VC and Hills

Quick note, bank management is imperative on days like this. If you feel uncomfortable staking the amount you are today, then cut stakes by half, or to a preferable amount for yourself. Staking 18pts in one day isn't small, and is unusual on a Wednesday but it's just how our ratings have come out. Make sure you are happy with the amount you are staking - could be a great day for us, hope so.

Good Luck

Results

Early results as not much today. What we did was not great with nothing really going for us today. Cristaliyev came 2nd, about it.

-6pts

Update

His Grace has become a 2pt bet. The 2/1 is still widely available.

Queen Of Cash has also become a 2pt bet. The 10/3 is available at bet365 and Hills.

No further bets today.

Good Luck

4 Apr

Today's Selections:

14:50 Folk - His Grace @ 2/1 gen.
15:20 Folk - Cristaliyev @ 6/1 betfred and betinternet.
15:20 Folk - Queen Of Cash @ 10/3 boyle, VC and Hills
15:40 Wind - First Post @ 11/2 betinternet, lads and VC

Possibility of a few more shortly, just finishing off figures so will update.

It's a shame Poppanan in the 16:40 at Windsor was declared a NR, would have probably been our biggest horse bet of the year so far.

Good Luck

Sat/Sun Results

Sat:
Football:

AC Milan = +1.57pts
Accrington = +0.84pts
Bolton = -1pt
Everton = -1pt
Gillingham = -1pt
Hayes = +4.18pts
Mallorca = -1pt
Reading = +0.81pts
Port Vale = -1pt
West Brom = +2.5pts

P&L = +4.9pts.
Not a bad weekend, and another small chunk of the losses wiped out. Nice winners with Hayes and WBA proved crucial in the end. Could have been more though, as Everton saw a perfectly good goal ruled out (goal-line technology debate continues) which if given could have seen that result in our favour, while Bolton found Birmingham's Ben Foster in inspired form to keep them out. Still, profit is profit.

Horses:
Sat:

Bad day on the whole after a good run. Best it got was Right Stuff coming second (not really that great) to a 40/1 winner. Cobbs Quay was a NR too. - 5pts

Sun:
Again, no joy today. Hoof It was a NR, whilst Simple Jim, Prompter and Golden Aria failed to convert. - 4pts

P&L = -9pts
Unfortunately this takes us back in negative figures overall once more. The good run was certainly most welcome, but with the start of the Flat season and the end of the National Hunt and All Weather, as explained earlier, we fully expect a variety of things to be influencing factors. It's all a learning curve.

So a mixed bag weekend. Hope you enjoyed it.

Today

Yesterday results will be done tonight, along with today's.

1.40 Doncaster - Simple Jim @ 16/1 Hills (1pt EW)
3.55 Doncaster - Hoof It @ 8/1 gen
4.25 Doncaster - Prompter @ 5/2
5.25 Doncaster - Golden Aria @ 5/1 PP

All 1pt picks. Some massive fields today, so some luck is required.

Yes

Football.

Lech Poznan drew 2-2 = -1pt

Horses:

Spice Bar got held up early doors, but weakened anyhow = -1pt

Elijah Pepper came 3rd after a promising run = -1pt
Guest Book came 2nd as our 2pt bet, and again ran well, but the 12/1 winner looked always in command = -2pts

Acclamazing finished strongly to win at advised 11/10 +1.1pts
Sadafiya came 2nd into a comfortable 1-2 race for our picks. = -1pt

Goal as our 2pt bet was always in the mixer, but couldn't quite that extra to win, 4th = -2pts
Princess Gail couldnt looked like she was always struggling a touch, finishing just behind 'Goal' = -2pts


Amelia's Suprise finished well after chasing throughout and won by a length or so for our (late) 2pt bet + 13.5pts (Have settled at 1pt @ 7/1 and 1pt @ 13/2)
Crucis Abbey came home 2nd to 'Amelia's Suprise' = -1pt

(For any of you that play forecasts then yesterday would have been nice, with the 8.40 at Wolves returning a SF of £16.03, and the exacta at £15.50 (for a £1 stake.) You would have also secured a return in the 6.10 @ Wolves, although the SF of £1.85 is hardly much to cheer about! It is tempting to sometimes suggest bets like these, but we feel that realistically we can't make money from them in the long run. Some compilers who 'rate' races may feel they can, but their methods are different to ours. We focus on picking winners rather than taking on handicappers etc. That is not to say they can not be 'fun' bets from time to time, because some payouts can be pretty hefty for small stakes.)

Profit for the day: Football -1pt
                           Horses + 4.6pts

Back later for today's selections
