KISS – Keeping It Simple, Stupid
You’ve probably heard the phrase KISS before. I got an email from a reader asking if I could show a method of finding contenders that was very simple. He didn’t want to get into the statistics or anything complex. Just something simple that could enhance his enjoyment of racing. This got me thinking. After all, I usually write with a…

It’s only two days until 2014, I can’t believe how quickly 2013 has gone!

Multiple Bets WILL Break Your Bank!
The bookies want us to do multiple bets… In fact they‘ll do almost anything to make them more attractive than they may already appear. You know the feeling when you’ve picked out three winners in a row and you think “if only I’d done them in a treble.” Fair enough, but I thought I’d write about how they work, why…

Here’s How To Do It!
It was my wife’s birthday recently. She’s a pretty new wife, 2.5 months to be precise, although we’ve been together for coming up ten years.
