given a great boost by a 7/1 Mark Johnston horse winning the second leg of the jackpot at Catterick today, it was shorter - at time of proofing so carried 3 points to cover the previous race loss of 5 points and to make a profit. Proofed stop at a winner tips stood at just over 68 points profit before todays winner!
It would have been beautiful at Catterick today, the weather in North Yorkshire has been brilliant although the clouds are starting to gather now...

Days off tipping
My daughter has returned from Greece and we are going to be spending some time with my terminally ill mother over the next few days so I will not be able to proof my stop at a winner and may not be able to email and/or update my tips every day...

New staking system & Monday racing winnings
Since using stop at a winner to back my jackpot race meeting horses the proofed tips are showing almost 80 points profit for October. I love it when the winners come early but there were some aspects to the old proofing system that I miss..
anyway, yesterday I wrote about the top rated being a lay...which was duly landed and my alternative also won. I wrote "As yesterday the top rated on stats is given a miss as I fancy Bells Oat Cuisine at 7/2 to do the business today.
Johnston continues in great form so his only runner of the day, Suzi Spends 12/1 2.30 Windsor, should not be ignored'
Bells Oat Cuisine 1st 7/2
Suzi Spends 1st 8/1
so is todays horse racing shortie a back or a lay, why not have a look and try to guess?
Online ASAP

First race at Windsor..job done
In todays email I wrote "Johnston continues in great form so his only runner of the day, Suzi Spends 12/1 2.30 Windsor, should not be ignored" and Suzi romped in, well won in a photo at 8/1, I took the early 12/1 so thats it for today.
No more proofing etc so time to catch up on the dreaded housework ready for my daughters arrival from Greece to stay for a week.
In a great mood now so I will drop a hint that todays top rated is a lay..

Saturday Racing Winnings
In yestardays email I wrote
"Nail biting stuff if like me you were backing stop at a winner yesterday but the price made earlier stakes easy to recoup. Lets hope for an earlier winner today and a few good runs for our money in the Scoop Six, well worth winning today as single winner of the Win and Bonus prizes would get an estimated £1,392,471. Smaller fish, just one top rated today away from the jackpot meeting which would get 4 points win on the old system or use as a get out of jail card."
Saturday was not quite so near knuckle biting with a good winner in the 4th race on the York Jackpot card and the shortie won but computer problems meant that did not get proofed.... Top rated shortie: Franchoek 2/1 3.40 Chepstow
York Jackpot Placepot & Stop at a Winner - I stake for a profit & recover losses
2.10 Blue Spinnaker, Full Victory
2.40 Atlantic Coast
3.10 Sudden Impact, Major Eazy
3.45 Rising Shadow, Fonthill Road WON 13/2
4.20 Ghizlaan
4.50 The Grey Berry
And so, the Scoop Six rolls over again to next Saturday when the Ch4 scheduled races are Cheltenham 2:20, 3:30 & Newmarket 2:05, 2:40, 3:15, 3:55 so midnight oil and thinking cap at the ready.
Of todays shorties one is a win bet and the other a lay with my email detailing my win selection for that race...todays Bath Jackpot tips online soon

Who will be the next Scoop Six millionaire?
I would love to think I could crack it!
Right now the pool for the Scoop 6 totals
Win Fund £ 711,890
Place Fund £ 11,634
Bonus Fund £ 609,935
If you are the sole winner of the Win and Bonus prizes you would win an estimated £1,321,825!
The amount to be won in the scoop six win and place funds will keep increasing up until the first race starts.
The big question is will it go to a small single punter with one 2 pound line on or to a big syndicate with lots of selections for each race? However todays big fields should make it prohibitively expensive to do large perm bets
Todays Scoop 6 races are:
14:10 York 20 runners
14:20 Ascot 19 runners
14:25 Bangor 12 runners
15:10 York 15 runners
15:25 Bangor 14 runners
15:45 York 20 runners
My Scoop Six selections will be online shortly.
Fingers crossed!

What a day at the races
or not as the case may be...first my washing machine started screaming up the plug hole at me then my lap top crashed before I could proof my first winner of the day in just the second leg of my jackpot placepot tips! So my stats are messed up as I tried to play catch up and hopefully ensured a profit for the day with another winner in the 6th and last leg of my selections. So my strike rate as proofed is out but returns should be about right.
Washing mahine easily fixed in the end and some interesting info re greyhounds from the repair man so onwards to tomorrows racing and hopefully an early profit

New Horse Racing System
stop at a winner combined with my method for selecting horses for the Tote Jackpot showing 12.50 points profit for the first three days of October with a profit locked in again today in the third race - despite a raging migraine ..long may this continue!

Winning Monday for my horse racing tips
Great stuff, the new "stop at a winner" racing system using my jackpot placepot tips came up a winner again today with the sole selection for the second leg winning at 7/2
The only problem is that I have to be at the computer until the first winner comes in, not always possible with an elderly father in law with dementia and mother with terminal cancer. Likely to have to miss a few days tipping and proofing in the near future.

Betting Bank and Staking Plan
A lot has been written about the various forms and varieties of gambling, but far to little about the responsibilities and pitfall of gambling, as someone who makes his living from gambling, whether it be from horse racing, fixed odds, online and offline poker or any of the other sporting or specialty types of betting I know only too well the pitfalls that await the newbie gambler and the seasoned punter alike, I have even heard of some pro gamblers who in the middle of a particularly bad run have went on tilt and ended up broke.
The heartache and misery that accompany such an episode can not only affect such a punter but also his or her family and friends, unpaid bills, rent or mortgage payments, excessive drinking, even the loss of ones job, and yet with a small amount of effort all of this can be avoided,
To get any sort of enjoyment or financial gain from you gambling you must look hard at yourself and answer the following 3 statements HONESTLY, 1. Do I have self discipline, 2. Do I have a betting bank I can put aside (No matter how small your starting bank may be). 3. Can I afford to lose it, this third statement may seem a little strange at first till your realise that you must be able to face such an eventuality as with any form of gambling there will always be this risk. If you answer NO to any one of these three statements then I am afraid that gambling of any sort is most definetly NOT FOR YOU.
Let us now examine each statement on an individual basis,
Discipline: You must have discipline in order to be a professional gambler, if you hit a bad run of results due to weather, bad judgment or any of the other multitude of disasters that can befall the pro gambler then you must have the discipline to stick to your staking plan and protect your betting bank, you must also have discipline so that when you do hit a winning run your do not make silly bets convinced that you can get another winner no matter what horse you pick, remember in such a state off euphoria you are more likely to pick the proverbial three legged donkey with asthma and bad eyesight.
REMEMBER FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANING TO FAIL
Betting Bank: This is probably one off the most contentious points amongst both pro gamblers and amateur punters alike, I have seen various amounts of money quoted as a starting bank from £250-£1,000 as a starting bank and on one occassion even a starting bank of £5,000, to the ordinary guy in the street looking to make extra cash from this business or indeed to start on the road to becoming a full time pro gambler amounts like these are just not possible. A more realistic amount will depend on whether you are starting out at a high street bookmakers or online at one of the betting exchanges, lets s first look at the bookies shop, if you decide this is your starting point then a bank of just £25 will be a sufficient starting point, if on the other hand you have access to a computer and a broadband connection then the betting exchanges are your starting point as you are betting against other people as opposed to a mainstream bookmaker,
you can also expect slightly better odds from the exchanges.
On the exchanges it is a fact that only about 4% of punters make a living from their betting, the unfortunate other 96% are your mug punters who have no disiplne, no betting bank and no staking plan, these people will occasionally get lucky and have a big win but when you count what they have lost previously the majority of the time they are only winning back their previously lost cash and by the law of averages will lose in the long run.
So you see without discipline and a betting bank you will continually lose.
For your betting bank to survive you will need a staking plan, one of the best plans I know of is the 4% plan whereby you only ever bet 4% of your bank at any one time. From a starting bank of £50 your first bet would be just £2, if this lost then your next bet would be 4% of £48 or £1.92. Let us assume however that your first bet is a winner at odds of 3/1, your original stake is returned to you along with £6 winnings, so your £50 bank is now £56, this means you next bet would be £2.24, the beauty of this plan is that it reduces your stake or liability following a loss but increases your stake after a winner, this method will protect your betting bank longer and decreases the chances of a total wipe out.
Losing your Bank: Last but not least we come to what I consider the most important point CAN I AFFORD TO LOSE MY BETTING BANK, your betting bank should be money you set aside and if necessary are prepared to lose in its entirety, as previously mentioned you betting bank should not be made up from money you would normally use to pay bills, rent/mortgage etc, if you use this type of cash you are betting in fear as if your betting bank gets wiped out you are actually in debt twice over and this is the road to certain financial ruin, I have seen to many good men and women ruined financially and emotionally by following this route, the only certainty in gambling is UNCERTAINTY and a sure fire guarantee that you will NEVER be able to join the ranks of thee pro gamblers and the kind of lifestyle that they enjoy will forever be unreachable for you.

Winning Jackpot and lay racing tips
In yesterdays email I wrote "Did you follow my new suggestion – to follow the jackpot selections, stop at a winner for a profit ie, if no win in first race bet on the second to recover previous stake and make a profit? It came good yesterday with a 4/1 winner in the first at Ascot. Today’s ( Sunday's) card looks difficult with the favourites all having some negatives although I reckon Honolulu & Balthazaars Gift are the best value favourite bets of the card.
Away from Ascot I will be laying Abutilon 7/2 5.05 Market Rasen 3 points stake and backing Rowdy Yeats 11/4, 3 points win Twiston Davies is in sparkling form and could have a hat trick today with 2:10 Nez Rouge,4:30 Grenfell and of course 5:05 Rowdy Yeats"
Twiston Davis' horses were all placed with my selection being his winner for the day.Nez Rouge 3rd at 8-1, Grenfell 6-4 Fav 2nd and Rowdy Yeats won at 2-1
Following the jackpot race meeting selections came good again with a winner in just the second race.
