So, since Oct 2009 I have been using previously learned skills and working on a temp contract for the government as a fraud investigator. The money and chance to up my Civil Service pension were too good to turn down.

My contract is over as of today and I am back to working for myself. However, I haven't really been keeping up to date over the past 18 months so I have no idea what works, what doesn't, where people are trying to earn a crust.

I think I had better put ...

Well, not quite yet but there will be - this is the content of my Turftrax Notebook, where you can be notified when horses run, to be honest though I can see me ditching the service before long as you can only have 50, although it might pay to keep it updated to an Elite, yeh! That's what I'll do.

Some of these need turfing out as are probably over the top for the season, like Rafta but others have been winning lately.

I'm not a prolific blogger by any stretch of the imagination but sometimes it is just a cathartic exercise to do a bit of typing.

Anyway, I have not really been that active on this or any other forum for a while. It's fair to say that the past 4 months of my life have been pretty horrific.

It's probably too difficult to remember the chronological order of everything but the shitty lowlights have been

Straw Bear - not sure where the old hurdling master finished in his race but in the previous races he had run over fences he had been appalling. At Cheltenham he stepped up to the plate and looked like a jumper. I look forward to seeing how far he can go over fences next season.

Denman - for a horse that has had such problems his run in the Gold Cup was nothing short of brilliant and for those of us who kept the faith and couldn't resist 7/1 each way it was fantastic.

I have seen adverts for it for a a small number of months now, in Inside Edge and Poker Player magazines abou Holdem Blackjack, and just this day have I bothered to learn out what it really is.

Holdem Blackjack is Cryptologic's hybrid poker/blackjack game and is offered through William Hill, UK Betting etc, although currently only in real money tournament form with ring games expected early next year.

The game is played at tables of 6 players maximum. Each player puts ...

Newmarket racecourse is the home of the British Jockey Club, remains the headquarters of many national and international racing organisations. The town thrived because of its marketplace and a profitable trade in accommodating travellers and so it continued for centuries, until King James I "discovered" its Heath in Feb 1604 as a fantastic leisure venue for his court and Newmarket's sporting associations began.

The town is well served for uncomplicated transport links to the rest ...

Numerous gamblers have heard of Betfair but in comparison with those that use bookmakers, only a small minority use the betting exchange. Why is that? The main reason is they just do not recognize the concept of it, and yet it is very easy. I will do a quick article here to notify you of the basics, but the most critical message is that if you do wager on horse racing, or sports, and you enjoy throwing money away, then please continue not to use a betting exchange!

Now you know a conventional ...
