Is Kelly’s Criterion Effective in Horse Racing Betting?

Experienced punters would suggest that a proper staking plan is as important as finding winners when trying to attain long-term profit.

Horse Racing Tipsters – Are They Worth Your Time & Money?

This is a somewhat awkward topic I have chosen to cover since I work for a website that offers tips on horse racing! I am personally not a tipster and admire anyone willing to risk their reputation to try and help punters earn a profit at the expense of the bookies. However, for every reputable tipster with a proven track…

One Trick Trainers (do they deserve a hob-nob?)

I don’t know about you, but I love a hob-nob biscuit. They’re amongst my favourite, and when you dunk them in tea their desirability increases by . 500%. The hob-nob is the nations second favourite biscuit, after the chocolate digestive. So you can imagine that you’d only share them with the most important people! Which begs the question… would you share…

How to Find Front Runners for Back to Lay Opportunities

This was something I’ve wanted to write about for a while but the notion of getting value from front-runners on the Betfair Exchange became embedded in my mind after the Chester Cup. I had backed the well-known front-runner My Reward at 14/1 and saw its odds tumble to around 9/1 by the off. Within 20 or so seconds, when the…
