    What is your approach? Do you have a set bankroll? Are you relying on tips? Or just bet on whatever?

    I used to play a lot of poker and used to be very methodical about it. From an outsiders point of view, horse racing seems very volatile

    id have a set amount to bet each day.... winning on hurricane fly on teh first day gave me a bit more.

    I went heavy on champagne fever yesterday but he didnt run ... so i was fairly loose re-betting that stake around yesterday.

    Don cossack was a tip I got last week so hes my main bet of the week... and if Valtour comes in i might put some more on him, as hes gone further out than when i laid on him.

    Other than that its following the papers, Ivan yates on newstalk and john duggan and seeing who has good results through the week.

    id be a complete amateur at it, but i have in laws who'd be a lot more involved.

    I suppose its completely different to poker as your dealing with living animals who may be having a bad day, may not suit the ground etc

    Im not at all an evangelist about it... but value-wise i see it as a much better area to bet in than rugby... similarly i find golf to be great value to bet in too.

    john duggan tipped it for today.

    my nap in don cossack turned out to be a disaster, had a bad jump about 4 out and never regrouped.

    Tony McCoy on uxizandre led from the front the whole way... incredible run !!

    Vautour won for me earlier. Un Ace is my second choice of the day e/w. Scabby enough odds as I've been betting on favourites but I'm 4 from 5 in the festival so far which is grand and gives a bit of entertainment.
