Thursday Update

Been a busy week at work so not been able to update as much as I would've liked.

Couple of bets of note today;

SLH had a 1 pt win bet Lisdonagh House at 6/1 (tipped at 9/1 but I forgot to phone the line!!) which didn't deliver but no major damage done.

Mathematician continues in fine form with Resplendent Nova coming in - tipped at 13/2 - I got 6/1 (I was late with getting the bet on as I was in a meeting!). SP was down to 3/1 so great result there.

Cheers

Quick Update

Quiet day on the racing front but a couple of account bets;

Mathematician good run came to an end with nothing with 2 e/w singles and an e/w dbl.

Equine Investments fantastic run continues Alfresco winning in the 3.40 at Lingfield. Best I could manage was 7/1 (8/1 was on offer in places) as I was a couple of minutes late picking the message up but still a very good win!!

Sorry Saturday

Busy day on the account on Saturday - always seems to be the case but doesn't necessarily mean that Saturdays are bumper profit days - yesterday being case in point. Not totted up the sums but suspect i came out of it quite a bit down.

Only real winning bets of note was Silver by Nature from 4PA in the 3.35 at Haydock - I got 6/1 but price drifted to 7/1 so BOG happy days - it all adds up!!

SLH had another 4 point win bet yesterday, Knockara Beua in the 2.15 at Ascot - I got 11/4 on this but the horse made mistakes and finished 4 lengths behind favourite Burton Point. I mentioned that I thought SLH hadn't had any 4 pt win bets in the time I've been with him but reviewed my stats and he certainly has with mixed results. Suppose I need to decide what I'm comfortable betting - £140 (i play £35 per point on SLH) for me is a lot of money on one horse. Wonder if I should move SLH to level stakes. I'm going to do some analysis and keep you posted on that.

Tipping Legends and Double The Odds both continuing poor runs overall. DTO especially - another 7 losers yesterday!!

Monday night is my usual stats up date night and will keep you up to date as to how things go.

No racing today i see due to the weather! A relaxing Sunday ahead then!

BOG On!

Very quiet on Thursday with only a couple of bets coming through.

Tipping Legends stick to their winning-ish ways with Anquetta coming 2nd in 2pm af Ffos Las - good thing here was tipped at 6/1 and SP of 11/1 which increased the profit.

Mathematician came out positive again today - nice to see some winners finally coming through. MAthematician is the tipping service i've been with the longest and it's been a roller coaster but I enjoy the extra analysis put into messages.

Equine had one tip yesterday - 20/1 shot that by the time i managed to get into bet (i was in a meeting) price had crashed to 12/1 in most places. Think i was 25 mins behind the game - but in the end it was a non runner so while I would've appreciated at 12/1 winner I would've been gutted at loosing out of getting on at 20/1!! A double edged sword!

The dream is still alive!!

And so it is with a good winning day yesterday thanks to both SLH and Tipping Legends.

Tipping Legends have started turning the corner hopefully with a 4.5pt profit from Thedreamstillalive coming in 2nd at 16/1 - hopefully this is indeed a turning point!

SLH had two account bets with Plum Pudding doing the job at 9/2 in the 3.10 at Leicester. Happy days. The other bet Sir Punjabi didn't do so well which meant my each way double I always do with SLH acct bets where there is an opportunity didn't come in.

A good, profitable day!! More later hopefully!! Does feel like SLH is really on form at the moment which is good news for me!

Rotten Day

Wasn't much happening on the tipping lines today but what did happen wasn't very good!!

Tipping Legends poor run of form continues dropping another 5 points today with Tri Chara and Snow Day both coming unstuck at Southwell. Really is a poor run of form from Tipping Legends but the ability is there - seen from some results towards the end of the year and a couple of decent winners can change everything. I'm not worried... yet!!

Each Way value had a couple of qualifiers - the only one I got matched at min odds on Betfair was Cheery Cat who did hee haw. Fuzzy Cat won that race. Bizarre.

Interesting Equine Investments didn't have any bets today but did briefly go over 3 races in Southwell - all he got spot on!! Quality tipping. Must remember to sort my subs out for this year before the deadline

Anyway hopefully better racing tomorrow!

Mixed Bag

Mixed bag today all in all - stung by a whopping 4 pointer from SLH which came in 2nd. Not sure I remember a 4 point single bet from Steve before!!

So in the end it wasn't too be and in the 4.30 at Plumpton Bormo finished a massive 15 lengths behind AP McCoy ridden, N Henderson trained Tanks for That. Frustrating - AP McCoy has been a nemisis for me to a certain extent - tried to get into the laying game a few months ago and got stung a wee bit laying his rides!! Was tinkering rather than being serious so it was my own fault.

Anyhow the rest looked like this;

Equine came up with Tropical Blue - best odds I could get 3/1. An each way bet which I thought was a bit strange but duly came in 2nd so I wasn't too unhappy with getting the majority of my stake back

Poor day again from Tipping Legends - both De Boitron and Ellen Tilley not delivering so another 6 points down. I'm just totting up my spreadsheets and isn't looking too pretty.

Only other quick mention is had an account bet win from the mathematician in the shape of Miami Gator so happy with that!!

Just adding my 2010 figures up and almost finished January. Looking like an excellent month for Equine Investments, SLH and Each Way Value and not so good for the rest (especially Tipping Legends).

Will provide more detail as soon as I'm done with that!!
