Today it is time for a look at some strategies! As bettors we are always looking for new strategies, systems or betting angles. In fact this is probably what…

The Common Sense Approach
I have something a bit different today. For once I am going to stop talking about making sure you can deal with the emotional side of betting, bankrolls and more for a different look at the problem of finding winners in racing.

Newmarket (July) 2012 – Day 3 (we made an 82% profit yesterday!)
After struggling on the first day of Newmarket, we certainly came back with a bang yesterday. I hope that you were following us, because we made an 82% profit! That would have been £65 to £10 bets or £650 to £100 bets. In fact, there was only one race that we didn’t get the winner or place on. I am…

Understanding which horses can run in certain class races can make a significant improvement to your betting, especially when I let you into a little secret, more on…
