Guys,
Just want to say thank you for all the effort you all put in to making this site a great one. Notably Kerching, Swanbush, alphabetz and Morpheus. I am new to this sport and am learning one hell of a lot about it, by reading your write ups and summarys, also the occasional dabble. Am getting in to it and have even started tracking horses after watching them run. Getting to know the jockeys as well and already have my favourites. I can honestly say before I had my long spell in hospital had only bet, never looked at conditions, form, stables jockey etc. now starting to understand the sport and will no longer bet on a whim. For someone who is green to the sport, and still learning, please can someone tell me if I am on the right lines with this one. Fenella Fudge. Have seen it run twice now, once tonight 8.10 leisc. Got an awful start but still managed to place. I had a small e/w on this one after watching LTO. Surely due a win off a good mark and start. Tell me I still haven't got a clue what I am doing please!! Any how, thanks again keep up the good work, and teach me how to bash those bookies. All the best !!!

Thanks Flintstone
Looking at this horse its only wins have been at 7f and once was good to fim the other good to soft, its had a few places here and there at 5f and 6f so looks like 7f is prob the right distance for this horse but saying that it does look like a very hit and miss kind of horse. Its been running in different grades and looks like they have been trying to find the right mix for it....i know its hard when you get a horse that you follow and expect something and keep getting burned only to miss the one time it goes in !! i would say keep an eye out for its next race if its a 7f and lower grade race it could have a good chance esp if its good or good to firm
hope this helps

Its not ALWAYS about the horse being good enough mate,its about betting in the right races with the right bet.
BET in the races wheres theres the least oppostion to beat your selection.
I'd start off with the small fields,its easier to read the form and far less time consuming.With larger fields theres obviously more opposition and more chance you wil loose.
Protect your stake if and when you can...if your unlucky enough to loose but your selection places within whatever criteria you have used to protect your stake i.e each way,dutch bets,cover bets...you have the opportunity to bet again with another chance to win.
Without any safety net...its a hard and often cruel game .Straight wins are few and far between mate.You only have to read this and any other forum to see the ratio of loosers to winners.
I will gaurantee its stacked heavily with loosers.
Protect your stake mate is 'THE BEST PIECE OFADVICE I CAN GIVE YA'

What I would recommend is that you keep a spread sheet of what you bet so that you don't go overboard with it. And my way of betting is that if i bet £5 and win £7 the £2 goes into a jar as profit and the £5 goes onto the next bet. And you will be surprised how much you end up with.
I do it at a month by month basis and then if i fancy a horse will use that money to bet it, because if it loses your only giving back your profit to the bookie not your own money.
For example during July I won over £150 by sticking money in a jar, and depending on what price i can get my horse on Friday will depend on how much I will put on it probably between £25 e/w to £50 e/w therefore if it wins I'm quids in as its profit money already. If i lose its the bookies getting there profit back.
