It's all kicking off on Monday!

I posted a cryptic message last week about an event which launches on Monday. Still sworn to secrecy, but make sure you visit this web site below at noon on Monday lunchtime...

Rocket Rob fizzles out

I don't know how the weather has been where you live, but it's been a miserable day here in Tring, and the rain is still coming down on the glass roof of my office. A miserable day for the account today as well. I say "miserable" - I lost 2 points, which still leaves quite a bit to have to give back if we are not to see a record breaking month for October (see below).

Sadly all four of my Win Bets went down and this account is not performing as well as last month.

On the other hand, the Lay Bets are firing like a Formula One engine that has just come roaring out of the pits! I had just the one morning favourite to bet against today, and that was Rocket Rob running at Yarmouth. Had been raised 5lbs for his win over 6f at the beginning of September, so back up to 7f he was carrying a half stone more than his only other win at this distance. This morning he was trading at the 3/1 mark and I felt that was low enough to have a bet against him. I layed him for 2 points and he finished in mid-division. So a couple of points profit to offset against the four lost from the Win Bet account.

Profit so far this month: 142 points

Free Bets blog

If a bookmaker is offering a free bet to entice you to open an account "Fill yer boots!" is what I say.

Just been reading the blog site associated with one of the most helpful free bets sites around Free-Bets.co.uk Pay a visit at the link below.

If you've been given a 'dead cert' by one of your mates in the 4 o'clock at Catterick later, why not put yourself in a win-win situation and get the bookies to pay for your bet?

Monday horse racing summary

I managed a good net return of 7 points to add to the bottom line of the account today. I saw two horses from three come home in runners-up position. However, I'm afraid to say that unless the bookmakers are feeling particularly generous, they still do not pay out on second place round where I live! So three points down with my win bets.

My lay bets today produced much better returns. I proposed four horses to oppose, and three of these lost. Ghanaati was a short-priced favourite which justified its market position when winning at Kempton. On the other hand, I also suggested a maximum bet in opposition to Hallingdal, also to be seen at Kempton this afternoon. She had won over course and distance previously - a major excuse for punters to 'pile in' and for bookmakers to shorten the price. But her previous win was over a lower class of competition, and she has been raised in the weights since. So when I saw she was likely to be offered at a price representing a 33% chance of winning, I jumped at the chance of laying her heavily.

She finished with only two others behind her, and I bagged 10 points profit.

Profit so far this month: 144 points

It's happening next Monday

Something pretty special is about to take place next Monday. You may well hear about it from a lot of others this week, and I cannot reveal anything detailed at the moment.

You can take a look but there will not be much to see, until next week.

Suffice to say you will not want to miss this....

Monday horse racing summary

Not a good day at all, and I've given back a slice of this month's profits today. I proposed four win bets this morning, and all four lost. The blow of a losing day can often be softened with at least one winner to give you the confidence you are still doing something right. But that was not to be this afternoon.

I also suggested two horses to oppose. I felt the handicapper had Inchwood pegged after raising her mark by 8lbs for her win in a class 4 race. Since then she has contested two class 3 handicaps and not tested the winners. So today I was not expecting a win, and looked to lay bets against her at 4/1 or lower. When she opened on course at 5/2 I quickly laid her to lose for a 5 point stake, before she eased in the market to go off the 3/1F I was wrong to oppose the filly today, and she took nearly 14 pints out of the account. Since we have amassed over 100 points with the lay bets this month alone, I wasn't too disappointed. In fact, it was only a matter of time before a winner would put a dent in the accounts. My other lay bet was to oppose Thewhirlingdervish for 4 points. The horse was duly beaten so I managed to salvage a little back.

Profit so far this month: 104 points
.

Saturday horse racing summary

A slight loss to the account today. I proposed four win bets this morning, and three of them lost. Poquelin produced a thrilling come back to win at Cheltenham, and I managed to recoup most if not all of the losses.

Poquelin has winning class 2 hurdle form, and had already won his chasing bow at Newton Abbot before today's race. So if he could live up to his hurdles ability then today's race was well within his compass, and I was looking for a price of 5/2 or better to make the reward worth the risk. He touched 11/4 leading up to the off, and I grabbed this before he was eventually sent off at 5/2 After a bad mistake at the water jump left him detached from the leaders and seemingly out of a chance, he showed great heart by powering up the Cheltenham hill to come past all his rivals.

No lay bets to report today.

Profit so far this month: 119 pts

All in against Laddies Poker Two

Please excuse the very weak pun. Half of me wanted to lay a decent bet against Laddies Poker Two, just to give me the excuse to post that lousy title. The other half recognised the fact that the only race this filly had won to date, without the help of the handicapper to even the field, was a class 5 maiden. Yet here she was this afternoon, lining up in a Listed race, and priced at 11/8F The value bet was clearly to oppose her, and I layed her for my maximum 10 points. She finished soundly beaten into sixth place and around 5 lengths shy of the winner in a 6f sprint.

I suffered a small loss on the Win Bet account. My first horse Run For The Hills came home the winner at 13/8 with 11/4 generally available this morning. However, the subsequent three bets all lost to leave me a little out of pocket.

But more than 9 points profit overall, and a solid day's work.

Profit so far this month: 120 pts

Dodgy Favourites

Paul Fowlie has released his latest system called 'Dodgy Favourites'. Many of you may well have heard about Paul already, and his excellent On-Course betting service.

I shall be keeping an eye on this new system for a few weeks, but if you want to find out more right now, then follow the link below:

Thursday horse racing summary

I moved the account forward by more than 6 points today, thanks to a successful lay bet. I proposed three selections to win this morning, but it was two horses that reached my suggested value prices to be final bets. However, these both lost.

Big Bound was running his second race - a maiden at Nottingham. He was short priced due to a close finishing second on his debut. Expected to come on for the run, he was a red hot favourite to win today, especially with the booking of Frankie Dettori. But although he was the most likely to win, the price of 4/5 odds-on was still way too short compared with his real chance of winning. This is how bookmakers make their profits over time. Not all red hot favourites win, and by offering such ridiculously skinny prices, when they do win the bookmakers have a minimal pay out. The value was to lay the horse to lose, and that's what I did, and for a stake of 7 points. When the colt lost at an odds-on price of 4/5 my return was a profit of 8.75 points.

Profit so far this month: 110 points

Interview with Matt Watson of Favourites Phenomenon

I've just finished reading a feature on Matt Watson. If you don't know, Matt is first and foremost a musician by trade. He looked at the probability side of betting, and with a penchant for all things analytical, decided he would make betting pay by re-visiting a well-explored method of staking.

I found it a very absorbing read, and if you want to read the interview in full just click on the link below:

Quiet on the Set please

I moved the account forward by a single point today, having seen Film Set win at Newbury. He was contesting his second race, a class 4 maiden over 6f The colt came up short by just a head in his first outing a couple of weeks ago in a similar race, so I was looking for him to come on for that experience. I was somewhat concerned to see him drifting in the market, and I managed to get matched at 3/1 before the off. Happily the horse did not know the market was not confident in his ability, and Frankie drove him on to win.

My lay bet for the day was Orchard House at Wincanton. I saw this as a fantastic opportunity to oppose a red hot favourite, and suggested a maximum lay bet of 10 points. Just before sending out my advice message he was trading at a ridiculously short 8/11F but almost immediately started to lengthen. By the time the race started he was still favourite, but at a much more generous 11/8F He could only manage sixth place. I know a few of you managed to get matched early on at my recommended price of 8/11 but the majority of members missed out. For this reason the bet must go down as a 'no bet' and the 10 points will not appear on my results.

But it still demonstartes the form the Lay Bets are enjoying at the moment.

Profit so far this month: 64 pts

Wednesday horse racing summary and weekly results

Mixed results this afternoon. I had my eye on three outsiders at Exeter, Towcester, and Nottingham, all three at double figure prices, but they all failed without even a placing. I managed to end the day in front though, as Native City came home up the hill at Towcester at a respectable 4/1 He has been steadily improving all season, with more than his fair share of second places, so I felt he must be due his next win. I managed to get matched at 11/2 on Betfair which I considered to be his worth, and I was rewarded with a profitable bet.

No lay bets today.

Results from the last 7 days

Most savvy punters throttle back a little around this time of year, as we make the transition from Flat to Jumps. Form is a little less reliable so it's a wise move to make. I prefer, however, to be that bit more aggressive, take advantage of the unpredictability of racing at this time, and focus on my lay bets. This week in particular that approach has paid spectacular dividends!

I've had nine lay bets this week, and all nine horses have been beaten. All were either race favourites, or morning favourites. At my advised stakes these bets have returned a stupendous 56 points profit, so I guess we should now look out for a few winners to blow some of this profit out of the water! Call me a pessimist.

Good news also on the Win Bet account, where 21 bets returned 4 decent priced winners including one at 8/1 SP and a 6 point profit overall. Not as good as the Lay bets, but sometimes it's comforting to know you can rely on a steady profit. Big profits in a week has a scary side, because experience tells you to expect the 'darker' side to betting, where 'good things' finish second and 'no-hopers' win the race. Call me a pessimist (again).

For the time being we can enjoy the purple patch.

Weekly profit results: Win Bets 6pts, Lay Bets 56pts

Total profit so far this month: 63.5 pts

Sunday horse racing summary

A quiet day with just the two win bets proposed this morning. Both of these lost. Since being switched to hurdles Predictive had run exclusively at Uttoxeter, and I was looking for him to score his first win. It's easy to look back now and see his better runs have come on faster ground, but I would say he coped well with the soft going at the Midlands track today. However, the other joint favourite prevailed, and Predictive has proven an expensive horse to follow so far.

No lay bets to report on today.

Profit so far this month: 30 points

Saturday horse racing summary

A bumper collection day today. Two winners from three win bets, and a very profitable lay bet, saw just over 20 points added to my bottom line. Morestead got things started at Fontwell, winning at 8/1, followed by Il Warrd finishing first at Redcar.

My only lay bet of the day was Liberation at Newmarket. His last run was a convincing win in a class 3 handicap worth £6,000. However, today he was stepping up in class to compete for a prize of £492,000 and facing much, much stiffer opposition. Mark Johnston's horses are in fine form at the moment, but I still felt that the price of 2/1 was too short about this colt. I went against him for 9 points profit, and he could finish only fourth.

Profit so far this month: 32 points
.

Wednesday horse racing summary and weekly results

Mixed results this afternoon, as two of my four Win Bets came home in front to return more than 8 points profit. But with my Lay Bets I managed to trip over a couple of winners, and lost 7 points from the account. So if you follow my win bets only, you will be pleased as punch this evening. If you are a layer you will be licking your wounds. And if you follow my service completely then you will have bumped your account forward a point or two.

I was against Stevie Junior in the Nursery at Kempton this evening. The old favourite is to back the top weight in a nursery, but Stevie Junior had only a win in his maiden to his name, and today was racing in better company and giving weight away to all his competitiors. He was priced at very short odds-on so I was going to lay him to lose all day. I was proven wrong on this occasion, but this type of race is where layers make money in the long run.

Results from the last 7 days

It's been a tremendous finish to September, with 7 winners from 21 bets in the past week, with prices including 7/1, 14/1, and 9/1, and producing a whopping profit in excess of 32 points. The pessimist in me suggests now we have to anticipate the inevitable losing spell, but I'm enjoying the moment for the time being.

Not such good news with the Lay Bets. I have put up 7 Lay Bets, and been successful with four of them. However, those three winners cost me over 8 points profit in all

Weekly profit results: Win Bets 32.5pts, Lay Bets 8.5pts loss

September newsletter

Welcome to the latest edition of my Newsletter. The main purpose of the monthly Newsletter is to summarize the results of the previous month, and to give you a "heads up" on any exciting news or events to come in the next few weeks.

With th St Leger now behind us the Jumps season will soon be in full swing. The first major race The Racing Post Trophy takes place at the end of this month at Doncaster. The all-weather tracks will also start to provide us with more entertainment, and if the wet summer was anything to go by, and turf meetings find themselves waterlogged, I am sure there will be many days when opportunities to profit from betting will only come from racing on the sand. This winter we can look forward to a bit more all-weather variety, as Great Leighs is now on the fixture list.

Quite a feature-filled newsletter this month, including a great interview, and the results of the Readers Poll...

In this month's issue:

• Results for September
• Interview with Matt Watson from Favourites Phenomenon System
• Review of Paul Fowlie's On-Course Betting Service
• Results of this year's Readers Poll
• Discover the VIP Betting Club
• More horse racing articles
• How you can earn money telling people about my web site

September Results
It may be a cliche, but September really was a game of two halves. Half way through the month and the profit line was like a very weak swimmer - just about keeping his head above water! But then we hit a purple patch and by the end of the month the Win Bets had returned a monumental profit of 73 points. The strike rate was nothing much above normal at 26% but what made the difference was six winners at double-figure prices. 21 winners from 82 bets.

Profits for the Lay bets were disappointing, although still they were profits and not losses. However, we never got more than 10 points in front, and ended up with a little under 5 points to put in the satchel. 20 successful Lay Bets from 26.

I'm always grateful for having the Win Bets AND the Lay Bets, as it invariably seems that when one is under-performing, the other is bringing home the bacon.

Back-to-Win Selections:

Profit : 73.70 points
Profit to £50 stakes : £3,685
Profit so far this year : £10,575
Strike rate : 26%
Return on Investment : 190%

Paul Fowlie's On-Course Betting Service
Whenever you watch coverage of horse racing on the television, or listening on the radio, there will ALWAYS be someone at the course, and usually in and around the paddock area. It is their job to report back the very latest information about horses running at the track that day.

What is the horse's form? How well does he look being led around the paddock? What does the trainer think of his chances today? Has the jockey been impressed by his work on the gallops at home? Is he getting too warm and sweating up? How did he travel to post?

All of this bang up to date and valuable information is simply not available by reading the Racing Post or your daily newspaper, and will give you that vital advantage over other punters.

How would you like to have your very own Man At The Course? Your own paddock watcher? Your own professional punter at the track?

Well that is the very service provided by Paul Fowlie.

Visit www.PaulFowlie.co.uk

Paul is one of a dwindling number of tipsters who actually spend alot of time at the races. In a typical month Paul attends around fifteen meetings within sensible driving distance of his northern base. Whenever he is going out for the day, he will spend several hours studying the card before posting his intended bets on his website and also on a telephone message line.

Whilst at the course he may receive information or see something that convinces him to change his betting plan. As a member of Paul's service you will be relayed this up to date information through a text messaging service.

Paul often picks up juicy titbits of inside information on the way to, and whilst at the course. Again, this information is passed onto members. This is valuable information that you simply would not be privy to without being on course.

At the end of the day Paul summarizes his day at the races on his web site.

Many professional gamblers invite you to follow them to make a profit from horse racing. But where Paul Fowlie offers that extra bit more, is that he practically allows you to travel with him to the track and watch over his shoulder!

....and finally
The trainer was giving last minute instructions to the jockey and appeared to slip something into the horse's mouth, just as a steward walked by.

"What was that?" inquired the steward. "Oh nothing" said the trainer, "just a polo".

He offered one to the steward and had one himself.

After the suspicious steward had left the scene the trainer continued with his instructions "Just keep on the rail. You are on a certainty. The only thing that could possibly pass you down the home straight is either the steward or me!"

I hope you have enjoyed reading this Newsletter, and until next month, and as ever, you have my warmest best wishes. Good luck if playing today.
