Help! I’ve Got Two Systems With The Same Selection

I don’t think I’ve written about this since 2010, so I thought it was about time to come back and tackle this issue. It might be something that will effect todays horse racing! If you run more than one betting system or strategy then you will, without a doubt, have faced the problem of more than one approach giving you…

Overpriced Horse Tips – Review

This time I thought I’d take a different tack on selecting a tipster to review. Looking at our tipster review pages, we can see that “Overpriced Horse Tips” is the current leader over the last 30 days. I thought I’d see how this service has done over a longer period. We have been proofing the results here at BetAdvisor.co.uk since…

Weekly Eyecatchers

The Charlie Hills trained B Fifty Two put behind him a poor run last time out with a 14/1 win for the Eyecatchers at Doncaster on Saturday. It could have been an even better weekend as the same trainers Boomerang Bob was 4th on Friday at 20/1 and Green Light was a fast finishing 3rd at 14/1 at Doncaster. For…

How To Create Standard Times

A few weeks ago I wrote this post about how to calculate the going allowance. There was a lot of interest in how to create speed ratings, and so with that in mind I’m going to look at the first part (and probably most important) of creating your own speed ratings. That is how to create standard times. To start…

The Gambling Don Review

The Gambling Don is a tipster service provided by BetFan. I remember when this service was released in 2012 with a great fanfare and if I remember rightly it was in the early days of Betfan being set up as a portal for tipping services. The sales page has lost none of its original glitz from back then. It is…

Weekly Eyecatchers

Not many runners for the column last week although Arctic Feeling was a good winner at Catterick at 8/1 and Beautiful Romance was an excellent third in the Fillies & Mares on Champion’s Day at 20/1. I mentioned in the recent free report the importance of keeping trainer comments about a horses future targets and this is what I wrote…

Are You A Backer Or A Layer?

The majority of bettors place bets on something to win. Obviously that make sense, it’s where betting began. But over the decades and centuries more complex bets came about that involved requiring multiple wins or combinations of wins. Then the betting exchange was invented and the possibility of laying came about. Now the most common bets are backing to win…

Weekly Eyecatchers

For those of you have subscribed to the Eyecatcher Pro tool you would have been delighted with a big winner at York as Shared Equity deservedly got his head in front, having run so consistently this summer. A 7/1 SP isn’t to be sniffed at but hopefully you were on at 20/1 that was available in the morning with a…

Weekly Eyecatchers

On Saturday one of my previous eyecatchers, Thatcherite finally got the strong pace that he needs to get his head in front at Redcar. On a relatively quiet week on the eyecatchers front it was nice to get a 9/2 winner. As I mentioned last week the emphasis of my eyecatchers in October changes and this is reflected in this…

How Many Factors Should I Use When Assessing A Horse Race

It’s very easy to get overloaded with information when looking at horse racing. There are loads of different ways to bet from laying, backing, dutching, trading and more. Then are hundreds of different approaches to finding selections to bet. Even if you decide to read form there are hundreds of different ways to do that as well. Can there possibly…

Weekly Eyecatchers

Not as many winners this week for the notebook but Karaka Jack won the Silver Cambridgeshire on Friday at 14/1. I had him in mind for a race next month at Redcar but this race cut up and it probably was about as competitive as the Redcar one will be. It’s been a long time between drinks for Shootingsta who…

How To Make A Profit During Changing Seasons

We’re coming into that time when we move from flat to national hunt racing. Twice a year this is considered the time by pretty much everyone in the business to be amongst the hardest to make a profit. The reason? Because the flat horses are finishing up their last runs at the end of the season and the national hunt…
