As you are no doubt thinking the more you know about actual horse racing the more sense it makes, I don't go with the whole gambling on horses is maths theory, and I have a degree in Physics so maths don't frighten me. I think you need to know lots about horse racing and know a little maths to undertand are you getting value or not
I'm half thinking of writing a book about betting on the horses, I need to make a good lash out of betting first preferrably on betfair so I have proof for credibility I reckon 'twould be a great read :eek: 0 -
Also having just scanned back over todays selections with the paper I think I only would have dismissed 1 for sure 6'20- the dunion-perth
So thats still 10 bets for the day. Going to get the tomorrows paper earlier than normal and give it a good detailed read, stay at home dad with 3 kids, the youngest being 4 months so it can be tough

Much better than any paper, lifetime form at your fingertips for free 0 -
I am trying to be more cautious with my bank hence the paper trading this week
but lets say my % strike rate is 13% (not including the placed horses) is there a staking plan that I can use to make this strike rate more effective. 13% gives me a win every 7.69 races, so if I was to lose the first 7/8 races, should I then up my stake to 2 pts or am I being a bit silly.
The 13% is what it has been this week but it has been higher.0 -

Only back selections 5/1 or bigger, first one loses than you try to win 60 on your 2nd bet (€50 + the lost €10) etc etc. Perhaps after 4 losers you may need to win €90 to still make your €50 and reclaim your losses. At this stage start back trying to win €50, when you do you'll be up €10. Winners I find are somewhat like the spaces in between cars at a roundabout, might be ages waiting for one and then a load come soon after each other. Loads of ways of protecting your betting bank, don't be afraid of making small losses, the alternative could be going bust by chasing them.0 -

Yep, its the only way I know how to keep records, havn't a clue what the likes of ROI % and all that mean, I suppose the €1 could be just a plain unit.
Cool, just wondering. ROI is just a percentage of the profit you've made divided by the total amount you've spent in bets. Not that it matters anyway, once you're up, you're up 0 -

An 11/8 fav left me down for nearly €5000 this evening
7.05 Aintree, The Jigsaw Man 7/2 won
8.00 Hamilton, Tinaar 11/8 3rd
9.05 Hamilton, Ingleby Star 9/1 won
6.00 Aintree, Victor Daly 5/1 won
Had a €1 Lucky 15 and a €5 accumulator, still the docket is worth a few bob.
Apologies for the off topic Woddle but I'm not really active in any other gambling thread. 0 -

Don't forget the roundabout dude, waiting for a gap in the traffic, you think one will never come, remember one will always come. The day after a good day is always a dodgy one too, things can go pear shaped quite quickly. I only said to the father about half an hour ago that I may well not have any single bets tomorrow and just do a yankee or something for a tenner or so. As I said a few days ago, you are looking at one of the hardest ways imaginable to return a regular income.0 -

The guts of 5K would have been sweet, am still a happy chappy though. A month or so back I did a quadpot in Kempton that came in, paid 20/1 ish, was sick though as all 4 won.
BTW, you forget the 5/1 single win 0 -
