How to profit from large fields…

So here’s one you might be interested in… It’s…

Can You Make a Profit From Short-Priced Favourites in Large Fields?

You might not like to admit it, but there’s a fair chance that you allow your selections to be completely dictated by odds. There is nothing wrong with searching for value, and since over 80% of winners are in the top 5 in the betting market, it makes sense to take the price of a horse into consideration when making…

There was some top class jumps horse racing last weekend with Chepstow hosting its two-day October meeting. The first Cheltenham meeting of the new season…

The dossier you NEED to read

We all like a dead cert. But this is so dead and such a cert it’s almost ridiculous. I’m talking about… Bets you mathematically cannot lose. Bets that when you place them a loss is just not possible. Bets where you almost feel sorry for the bookies. OK, maybe not that last one. But basically, this product is incredible and makes lots of money. It’s called Profit Lockdown and it is…

Liam Gallagher versus The Hoff

Celebrity feuds don’t come much weirder than this. Liam Gallagher, the 90s star of Oasis, who seems to be everywhere at the moment, has just taken a swipe at David Hasselhoff, the 90s star of Baywatch. And the Hoff bit back! In one of his rambling rants attacking his brother – this time for an attempt to be “psychedelic” – he picked up a…

Does it matter how far a horse travels for a race?

Focusing on horses that have travelled a long distance to a racetrack piques the interest of some people while others disregard it as an ‘old chestnut’ system. If you go to the Signposts section of the Racing Post, you can see how far each horse has travelled to be on the course. For example, on October 9, 2017, at Musselburgh,…

Drenched in beer…

Around this time last year, I was at Oktoberfest. If you don’t know, it’s basically a gargantuan festival in the German town of Munich that’s entirely devoted to beer. Stroll in and ask for a glass of wine and you’re going to be disappointed. It was awesome, though. But hugely expensive, so I’m not missing that part of it! So instead of…

Should You Back Outsiders in Small Fields?

There is always an element of the unknown when it comes to races with only 3, 4, or 5 runners. In many cases, such events are not run at a ‘true’ pace and are often slow affairs with a fast finish. As a result, the form book makes less sense than normal so surely, punters should look at small fields…
