Horses to Follow



Today at 1.15 at Punchestown EBAZIYAN runs in a hurdle race, and although a bit short to back on his first run this season, hopefully he should put in an impressive performance.

Four more horses that should be on your list for the rest of the season, if not there already.

GIVE IT TIME

A few good winners from our Horses to Follow list in the last couple of days.

COUSIN VINNY - Hopefully will improve again after his first win over hurdles

STARLUCK - Another with plenty of potential, unbeaten in 3 over hurdles

NATIONAL PETITION - Kept up his winning streak and could be still improving

LAYing Staking Plan


Someone emailed me asking how to use a Staking plan when LAYing horses (Betting on them to lose).

A simple Staking plan is to risk 2% of your betting bank on each LAY bet.

So for example if you have a Betting Bank of £1000, you risk £20 (2% of Bank) in each LAY bet.

If the horse you are LAYing is 2/1, the Backers stake will be £10, meaning if the horse loses you WIN £10.

If the horse wins however you will LOSE £20.

You can recalculate the size of your Bank at the end of each day or at the end of each week, whichever you find the most convenient.

So if you decide to recalculate weekly, and your Bank stands at £1100 after 1 week, you now risk £22 (2% of the Bank) in each LAY bet.

Hope that makes sense to everybody!!

AND I LAUGHED!!


A few funnies from around the forums:


"years ago on grand national day,a novice punter asked me to fill in his betting slip,when i asked if he was paying tax,his reply was no,i am at college."

"old jamaican man 'that jockey couldnt ride my sister'"

"HE NO TRY! HE NO TRY! HE NO TRY!
Chinese punters getting angry at one of the jockeys @ portman park."

Horses to Follow


Been a bit lax recently, but one to be on today and also for the notebook is:


OUR BOMBER HARRIS in the 1.15 at Fontwell.


You could well see this one lining up in the Cheltenham Gold Cup in a couple of years!!

Listening to an interview with a very bullish George Baker today,he thinks KANGRINA @ 9/2 is his best chance of the day and BUGSYS BOY @ 6/1 is a cracking e/w bet.

1.45 BUGSYS BOY

2.00 KANGRINA

Be Lucky!!
