New Log - Sick of Losing! Road to Victory!

    Getting a bit fed up with loosing more than winning so I have decided to start a log in order to track how I do over time.

    I am going to give reasoning for each bet that I place which should remove some of the losses such as heart over head bets:rolleyes:

    I will be betting mainly on horse racing but other sports too.

    First Bet!
    Ardglen 18:05 Ballinrobe 5-2 Paddypower
    Stake 12 pts win

    Reasoning

    Horse has a lovely weight and has some good form.
    Got a tip for him from the stable and the tips are usually there or thereabouts.

    Wish me luck!

    Ardlan won just about despite getting very tired near the finish. The weight just about saved the day.

    Nice to start with a win anyway.

    2:25 Mart Lane 10 pts win - even money
    Dual bumper winner is flying at the yard and will go very close today.

    15:00 One for joules 5 pts win - 15-8
    Going well at the moment and looks a race that could be picked up. Would have been a better 4-1 each way bet rather than 15-8 win bet though.

    16:10 Cool newport 1pt each way - 15-2
    Hoping for a place here with the possibility of a win. Paddy Brennan booked for the ride.

    Mart Lane - Won by 23 lengths was impressive. Returns inc stake 20

    One for joules - Won well too after being shaken up. Got 14.40 Back inc stake

    Cool Newport - Ran well at a decent price. Had a good chance around 2 out but ran out of steam. One for the next day.

    Nothing for today

    16:15 Listowel
    Ardglen - Won well the last day and despite a weight rise I still expect him to win. The ground suits and he is back over his optimum distance of 2m 4furlongs.
    10pts win @ 13/8

    14:00 Listowel
    De Oro 11-1
    No superstar but is at a decent prize and could run into a place.
    .50pt e/w

    15:05 Listowel
    Daranjan 6-1
    Good each way value with a chance of a win. Several horses in this race who I couldnt see going too well on the ground. Will go close today.
    1pt e/w

    No good. Horse with beaten with a half mile to go.

    Ardglen won again Sunday but didnt go for it this time as 3 races in a week or so is one too many in my book!

    2 pts e/w @ 13-2

    17:20 Gowran - Daranjan
    Hard to back this one on recent form. I was givin the tip from a reliable source so im chancing it.
    1 pt e/w @ 7-1

    7:00 Dundalk - Jeangorges
    Horse won really well last time and despite this being a better race I expect him to go real close.
    5 pts e/w @ 5-1

    Total staked = 26 pts
    New Bank = 53 pts


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭INEEDANID

    Open up your heart 5-1
    Has went well on his last start and won on soft. The ground is very soft today as it hasnt stopped raining here all morning and I live near the course. He should go on the ground and since its such as poor race I would expect him to run into a place at least.
    1.5 pts each way

    14:40 - Ascot
    Quest For Piece
    Was going well for Aiden O Brien when sold. Tough as old boots.

    One Cool Shabra
    5 pts win @ 5-2
    Won in Listowel on the same type of ground. Is a good jumper. Hopefully should be there or there abouts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭INEEDANID


    Fontell 15:05
    Osmosia 5-2
    5 pts win

    Has decent enough form in a poor race. The favourite is 12 and be ruled out in my opinion.

    15:15 Ascot
    2 pts win Dinkum Diamond

    15:15 Longchamp

    Talking Tough. 5 pts win @ 5-2
    Was going really well when pulled up at Perth. I think he may have been stopped. We'll see know!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭INEEDANID


    15:40 Fontwell
    Cignet 2.50 pts each way.
    Has good form for Donald Mccain. 5 -1 seems a good price.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭INEEDANID


    16:05 Gowran
    5 pts win on Ruby Light
    Ground should be perfect and goes well fresh. Taking a risk by going against sizing europe. But ground and freshness in favour. 11-8


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 381 ✭✭INEEDANID


    Ruby Light fell at the last:mad:

    5 pts win on Lidar @ fontwell. 5-2

    No good never in the race.

    15:15 Longchamp
    rio de la plate.
    Ridden too far back in my opinion and had too much to do. Horse had run his race making up the ground.

    Redcar 15:25
    Colonial
    A poor run

    15:30 Gowran
    Talking Tough.
    Disgusted with Ruby Walsh. Never tried an inch.

    No where. Was a beaten horse a long way out.

    Thanks:)

    Going well so far.

    Only having very small bets unless I have some information which seems to be working well enough so far anyway. Im going to tray to stick to that strategy.

    16:35 Uncle Junior
    A proven stayer who has quite good form.
    Ruby back on board now and at 10-1 seems good value.
    2.5 pts each way

    Uncle Junior finished 3rd in the end which at 10-1 is all good.
    Finished very fast but I felt he was given too much to do by Ruby Walsh. Ruby has not been riding very well on horses i've backed lately. Too far off the pace to win.

    I dont believe he would have beaten Muirhead anyway in the race but could have been a lot closer.

    Going to have a few very small bets on the match to make it that bit more interesting:D

    All first goal scorer bets done each way at 1/3 of the odds and 5 places.

    Kevin Doyle .50 pts each way 5-1
    Aiden McGeady .25 pts each way 8-1
    Richard Dunne .25pts each way 20-1

    Come on Ireland!!!

    Kevin Doyle almost scored with his back heel.

    Aiden McGeady should have scored with his great chance.

    Richard Dunne Scored! So I got 6.4 or so to 1 as I had it each way.

    Small profit of 3 pts but any profit is good profit!
