Just a few things....

Once again, it’s been too long since I last posted. The discipline required to post regularly on this blog is enormous and I have been too easily distracted. In addition, a much needed holiday and the time taken up running two tipping services has made things even more difficult of late.

All of that’s going to change in the coming weeks.

I’m looking to bring in additional writers/betting experts to spread the work load and make this a “must visit” website for anybody interested in turning a profit…

One to watch...

I’ve seen some impressive 7lb claimers in my time but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one get off to quite such a flying start as MICHAEL J M MURPHY.

His names a bit of a mouthful but it’s one I think we’d do well to take notice of in the next couple of months

He managed to score on his first ever ride -  Matavia Bay back in early June – and he’s gone from strength to strength since. His full figures are below:

Bursting with pride...

How often is it that we do something that you can be really, legitimately proud of? A bona-fide achievement that you want to shout from the rooftops? It's happened to me only a handful of times in my life.

I'm feeling like that now!

I know it’s considered unattractive to blow your own trumpet but please indulge me on this occasion - I really am bursting with pride!

In July last year I launched my Morning Value Service and added the Evening Value Service as a free extra for Morning Service members i…

Sending out an SMS...



Today we have a post from pro-gambler and betting blogger John Mac, who thinks the time may finally be arriving again for one of the great Newmarket yards:

'In the land of the mobile telephone the letters SMS stand for Short Message Service. In the world of Horse Racing they simply mean SIR MICHAEL STOUTE.

I think it is fair to say that so far this season his stable hasn't really fired. Up until yesterday his tally was 44 winners from 213 runners. Not bad by any means.

But, for the champion trainer…

The Woes of a Tipster...

It’s me again. I’ve been so quiet of late that I would forgive readers for beginning to doubt my existence. Sorry for the silence – I have reasons but no real excuses.

I’ve been dealing with the horrendous fallout of having a bad couple of months on my Evening Value Service just at the point that I took on a raft of new members (isn’t that always the way).

It’s been pretty galling to say the least.

I know my methods work – they’re backed up by a history of more than 40,000 bets over the last 8 year…

This bloody weather...

Hello lovely readers. I've been a bit quiet on the blog of late and I'm going to be sorting that out this week.

Today we have an article from one of our guest writers - John Mac, long term pro punter and tipster. I'll hand you over to John:

"Hands up all those who have suffered probably their worst ever start to the turf flat season this year?

If I could do a head count of all those with one long arm pointing skywards I would probably be here all day counting!

The results come in and the head starts…

Royal Ascot Tipping Competition Final Results

It's all over Now as Mick Jagger (I think) said.

Royal Ascot has come and gone and we saw some exceptional performances none more so than that of the mighty Frankel.

On to the more important matter of the Make Your Betting Pay Royal Ascot tipping competition the final standings of which are below:

Royal Ascot Tipping Competition Day 2

Welcome all,

Day 1 was a funny old day with some strange results - apart, of course, from the manner in which Frankel demolished a classy Group 1 field. Now that really is a machine!

Day 2 awaits in all it's Royal Glory and Sir Castleton leads our field in the early stages after a very decent pick of Most Improved - Fallon gave that one a terrific ride in my opinion.

Current standings and tips from all tipsters are below:
Nickname Points 20/06/2012
Sir Castleton 9 Farrh
Stewy 0 Carlton …
