Will re-adjust. Fingers crossed my staking adjustment jinx will be broken - seemed to maybe be with Northern Monkey!! Yes hopefully the ramp up of the NH season will increase bet rate and winners!<br /><br />Anon 12.15 - thanks for your comment - definitely trying to reduce services - sounds odd considering i have just signed up to piecost but am seeing some subs out for others where i won't renew. Think Matt had a bad season last season - am hoping this season picks up. I do take your comment about staking but am feel too cautious on this one to up it. Double edged sword really. Appreciate your thoughts!<br /><br />AV - thanks for updating - yes its been a torrid time for all the services mentioned and systematic has definitely been slower this year and I've found it harder to get prices. Glad the longer term profit is there for you - good news is good to hear!mrh-beatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353216647688725324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-17768101347532149062011-09-30T09:07:33.820+01:002011-09-30T09:07:33.820+01:00In reply to Anon 12.03, yes sadly that is true.

This is almost exclusively down to 4PA and Football Elite underperforming, whilst Systematic has had a quiet 12 months compared to last. Also, I took up The Market Examiner at the wrong time.<br /><br />Of course one has to look at the big picture and I still see around £50K up for the last 2 years..<br /><br />AVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-38502332851321212492011-09-29T00:15:18.176+01:002011-09-29T00:15:18.176+01:00Mate, you follow too many services to make a profi...Mate, you follow too many services to make a profit. I think you should stick with Equine, SLH, Northern Monkey and Systematic only. I'd ditch everything else. I don't even think Football Elite is worth it at the small stakes you play. Furthermore, Matt has not been in very good form for months and the ROI is very low indeed for 2011.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-3601992928646494902011-09-29T00:12:40.124+01:002011-09-29T00:12:40.124+01:00You state that you are increasing your stakes with...You state that you are increasing your stakes with SLH to 50 GBP level stakes (with either 50 GBP win or 25 GBP each-way). I think this is the right thing to do and I agree with you, especially after looking at your statistical analysis. However, remember to increase your betting bank accordingly to reflect this change. You were betting 25 GBP per point before so had a betting bank of 1,250 GBP (25 GBP x 50) but you now need a betting bank of 2,500 GBP (50 GBP x 50) to reflect your increase in stakes, which have effectively doubled: for example, you will now be betting 50 GBP on what were previously 1 point win bets of 25 GBP. I hope this makes sense. Let's hope SLH bags us some winners soon although your change in stakes often seems to have a negative effect on racing results!Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-12175729678395328052011-09-29T00:03:19.463+01:002011-09-29T00:03:19.463+01:00Are those figures correct?

Yeah as far as I understand I got in just in time and the waiting list is pretty lengthy! Been a tough old time for Northern Monkey recently but not surprising after a spate of good wins. Looks like turned things round today as well! <br /><br />Anon (2) - thanks for your comment - interesting point. Suspect you are right - but the question is - is it as straightforward as just give up on Saturdays? Will do Systematic tonight. <br /><br />Hi Neil - think you are right - so much to chose from - where do you start?? Will add you to the blog if you can do the same!<br /><br />Hi AV - thanks for posting your own stats. Interesting that you have the same problem on Thursday as well as Saturday though. Be good to see your further info when you get a chance. As I say is it as straightforward as just giving up on these days? Not so sure!mrh-beatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353216647688725324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-65536160687543613722011-09-28T12:19:51.962+01:002011-09-28T12:19:51.962+01:00Hi MRH
Congrats on a super little blog.
A really i...Hi MRH<br />Congrats on a super little blog.<br />A really interesting post last night; I have long had this nagging doubt about the profitability of gambling on Saturdays, so I did a quick calculation of my betting year to date, by day. The results were:<br />Sat -£11477<br />Sun £313<br />Mon £232<br />Tues £1037<br />Wed £7467<br />Thurs -£11881<br />Fri £2848<br /><br />My portfolio is similar to yours so you will know the main culprits. When I get time I will break it down to individual tipsters over the last 2 years to see if there is a trend to learn from, but for now I will take your comments about Thurs and Sat on board and bet with caution until coming up with something more finite.<br />Cheers<br />AVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-42185761253215445702011-09-28T06:02:45.701+01:002011-09-28T06:02:45.701+01:00Saturdays have always been my worst performing day...Saturdays have always been my worst performing days by a long shot, I think it is always competitive and the shear volume of events makes it a bit of a punters nightmare.<br /><br />Would appreciate a link exchange<br /><br />http://layawayforaprofitableday.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Regards<br />NeilLay Awayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234182159975184328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952770794781846015.post-64363451202603143742011-09-28T00:30:42.355+01:002011-09-28T00:30:42.355+01:00hi mate , great reading as always .
