Sometimes you have to break the rules…[DETAILS INSIDE]
Although technology is something that allows me to live the way that I live, it never ceases to amaze me. I am writing this weeks newsletter from a hospital. Don’t worry, I am fine, but am visiting a family member who has been in and out of hospital for the last month. It wasn’t that long ago we were told…

How To Make A Profit From Tipsters
There are many people who struggle to make a profit from tipsters. Usually this is blamed on the tipster for not providing the profits, and there is no doubt that there are a lot of tipsters out there who should not be tipping. However, punters also have themselves to blame a lot of the time. I have purposefully stayed away…

I am not able to do the live posts today as I am at a memorial service. Instead, I have already gone through the cards and you…

Royal Ascot 2012 Day 4 – Live
The weather is just getting worse! This makes it for very hard betting and under any normal circumstances I wouldn’t be betting. However I use a separate bankroll for festivals, and I always suggest that you do the same as well, and I am going to be doing my best to see if we can get some of the outsiders…

The Top Ten Horse Racing Websites [INSIDE]
3 days until Ascot, and I am really starting to get excited now. Since not being able to get ante-post bets on of a decent size for a while, I have stopped analysing these big prized races until the morning of the race, the same as my other selections. This allows me to take advantage of any last minute changes.…

Stop Yourself From Tweaking!
It is a curse of bettors that they have a desire to permanently tweak. There must be something in the genetic make-up of us that wants us to try and make something that is already working, work better and, I have learned over the years that… …you shouldn’t! I put this down to the human emotion which tries to make…

Top Ten Horse Racing Websites
About a year ago I wrote the first post outlining the top ten horse racing websites at the time. You can see that post at http://www.raceadvisor.co.uk/top-ten-horse-racing-websites-2 I thought that it was about time to take a new look at the top ten websites online. Times change and while some of the sites are the same, there are 4 new ones…

Days Since Last Raced – Should you care?
Out of all the possible factors that exist in horse racing, the one that seems to appear more in forums, systems and discussions than any other, is recent finish position. There is a common belief that this factor is crucial in determining the current physical ability of a horse. Of course, this does make logical sense. After all, if a…

ROI vs Turnover
When we are looking at the selections we are betting, we often want to tweak them to try and make them generate a greater profit. In fact I don’t actually recommend doing this, but it is a completely natural reaction. After all, the reason we bet is to make a profit, and obviously we want this to be as big…
