    Barrelmaniacs method bets

    Ok, my first selections post, all prices will be bsp unless otherwise stated. Bets will be back bets unless otherwise stated. Any lay bets will be have the odds due to overlay with bsp.

    Don't risk your money on these, because I certainly won't be for the time being!

    I will start with a bank of £2000, stakes will be level £10 stake unless otherwise stated.

    Cheers Mick, they are only for a bit of fun, the selection today was a bit of a rush job, so I shouldnt have really put the selection in, but I thought its nice to get started.

    My aim in this thread is to try and have a fairly high volume of bets - this thread will be uncontinous in the way that somedays I will not have time to do selections here, but hopefully the volume of general bets should be enough to keep the interest of anyone following this thread.

    I'm sure it will be! I have been keeping track of some of my method bets, and from the past 150 selections I have pulled a profit, but for my kind of high volume (high volume when I get time) this small number of bets is no real sample for prediction of continuation profits, but as I said before its only a bit of fun with no money involved, hopefully I will learn a few things along the way.

    will do all the calculations in a couple of days when i get back, I have a flight to catch soon so too much to do now- looking forward to working out a few more method bets- Im jumping the gun a bit but if it goes well I might actually end up putting money on them in the future!

    Thanks Mick, I have had a few other horses come close as well, with my strike rate currently being much lower than expected hopefully there are a couple more wins around the corner- but its still a case of the likelyhood of my method bets so far as being beginners luck. If I'm honest I still probably don't know enough about horse racing to be able to profit from method bets, but I figure that posting selections here gives me the discipline to hopefully start learning a lot more.

    HI BM wise words once you start posting here with a R/T you cannot conveniently forget about the losers,which is the down fall of many.You learn by your mistakes which is a good way to learn,and the discipline becomes a part of that.

    For some one who is new to method betting you are doing well,onwards and upwards mate

    Only 1 today.

    6.40 Brighton-- Sedgwick

    lost -£10



    looking at this more closely I now think that this selection might not be a great Idea, but I shall not withdraw the selection. So win or lose it will stand in the results.

    Yes Mick, thanks. There might even be a few more later.

    I think its apparent that we have very different styles, I go for volume with damage limitation in mind, but saying that I have no idea if its going to work! .... and my track record for method bets is......... I don't have a track record

    BM without backers having different styles there would be no worthwhile market?.Differences of opinion in selection approach or staking lead to interesting debate from which we can all learn.For myself that is the big positive of a good racing forum.

    You describe yourself as a newcomer to method betting,but sometimes this can be a positive,fresh blood with new ideas,keep voicing them mate because i feel we can all benefit from considering each others opinions.

    Yep, was a good one, came close in the 5.20 as well but no cigar, still a few more races to go so fingers crossed for another winner or two!


    Im on fire today!



    Ok, all done and dusted, I may not get around to tallying up the bank total tonight but its been a pretty good day for the method bets further more backed up by potential as quite a few losers finished in second place. No selections for tomorrow, Im fairly computer tired and I'm working all day tomorrow, but the method bets will be back again in the very near future.
