    Every morning I am watching sky sports news and Alex Hammond's bet of the day is a feature of the show. I have never paid it much attention but I would like to see how profitable or lack there of it is in the long run if you were following her.

    This will be a fake money log, just a record of how she gets on with her picks, blanket bets of 10 euro. If it does turn out to be profitable I will start backing her with real money I suppose

    First up today

    Hamilton - 9.50 Peter Anders 9/4 10euro

    Why?

    Is that the best way to accurately track something like this? Tracking someone from level stakes is not my strong point, havent done it before :) thought you would just go from the price you got your bet on at?

    And she is hot! Some photos bettert then others :D

    Much better on tv actually then any photo I could find on google!

    Split up as far as I know, she gets around the jockeys and trainers :)

    tbf to her, not all her tips are favs but they do get backed in to favoritism sometimes.

    Ok, she may very well be, I wouldn't know, she has had a good last few days though.

    I'll give the girl a chance sure, not like its going to cost me any money to log her tips is it?

    Ah yea no harm in following her I was just replying to the thread title.

    I'll keep an eye with interest I have never followed her or kept a log of her bets just something I've got in my head about her from randomly seeing her tip fav's that keep losing.

    Good luck.:)

    I wonder how she selects her rides?

    Do the jockeys and trainers call her?

    Ah it would be a much bigger sample size then that to start following her with real money!

    Also, I don't ever think its wise to blindly follow

    I feel I should mention 1 huge price difference between 1 bookie and the rest regarding the other well fancied horse in that race, Izzi Top is generally available at 6/4, 13/8 in most bookies, however SportingBet currently have it priced at 9/4! Thats a huge difference
