Betting Tip 9 – British Weather


There’s one golden rule you must learn. It concerns the good old British weather. The newspaper tipsters, and the selections on this site, are judged on the going the day before racing. So if there is a change in going, especially a drastic one (i.e. Good to Heavy). Then obviously these selections are false, and should be ignored. If there is a minor change (i.e. Good-Firm to Firm) then you should still check each individual selection to ensure that it acts on that going.

NEVER back a horse that has never run on ground totally different than it has ever raced on, as long-term you will be paying for the bookies holiday.

Although I never totally void a selection, I will reduce stakes depending how severe the weather change is, and how previous results have gone. Sometimes it may be poring down, but race times only change a little.

Betting Tip 8 – Newspaper Tipsters


When using daily newspapers to check for selections, remember that the majority of these people do not make money from betting. They also have to tip in every race. This means that apart from a few main races each day, they only briefly look at the race, and select what they think will win, no form check, or background information. They also have a very low strike-rate over all, usually less than 20%.

Betting Tip 7 – Backing More Than One Horse


When selecting horses, you should only use your own judgment, and those of the one’s you trust. You should ALWAYS go through the form of every race before reading what the tipsters have to offer, otherwise you will then have preferences set in your mind before you make your selection’s and this often causes you to make the wrong decision. Sort outh your own views first, and then check the tipsters.

If you find you then fancy 2 horses in the same race, even 3,4,5….etc…, back them all, otherwise the one you drop will be the winner…….that’s sods law. Backing more than one runner per race can prove very profitable. Remeber the bookies have to bet EVERY horse in the race and look how much they make!!
