Friday horse racing betting

Thought at first that today was going to be a disaster at the betting office with the first 3 short priced favourites being turned over but a good priced tip on the all weather came to the rescue with Northern Desert winning at 6/1 in the second rae at Wolverhampton.

Surely must be at least a couple more winning tips today??

Winning exacta tip Thursday Taunton

Todays star bet had to be the Exacta in the 5.30 Ludlow where I fancied Hawkes Triple Bluff each way at 25/1 this morning. I added the favourite and Sandymac for the combination exacta and was well rewarded with the exacta paying not much short of double the combination forecast.

5:30
1 I'm A Legend 11-4 Fav
2 Triple Bluff 22-1
3 Avant Gardiste 20-1
4 Dovedale 11-1
16 ran
WIN £4.10
Ex £120.60 CSF £71.25

One of those a day would keep the bank manager happy!

Thursday's horse racing tips

workingon the Taunton jackpot card for today's horse racing betting selections.

Wednesday's jackpot tips gave us a winner in the first albeit at a short 10/11 but a profit is a profit, that is the great thing about dutching. The tips gave another three winners at 11/4, 7/2 and 15/8 so a pretty good day at the races.

The Taunton jackpot tips will be emailed ASAP and published later when I get back from the docs. Rang for results and was told she needs to discuss the bloods taken last week and take some . .

Horse racing tips & results

What a shame Catterick Races was called off yesterday, I fancied a fair few long shots...still, the all-weather race meeting at Lingfield did the job with a 9/2 winning tip in the second race and again a 9/2 winning tip in the third race so not a bad day at the office.

Lingfield Placepot

2.00 Hawa Khana, Solaria
2.30 Tension Mounts 2nd, Underworld WON 9/2

Horse Racing Tips Tuesday

The Jackpot card is at Catterick races today so my main racing tips will be from that beautiful North Yorkshire race course.

At first I thought yesterdays horse racing betting was going to be a disaster getting off to a bad start with both fancied short priced tips were turned over. The jackpot card came up with a winner in the 4th leg at a very nice price of 7/1 but the placepot tips performed much better with winners in the first race at 13/8 followed by 3 more winning tips at 7/2, 6/4 & 11/4 - a good day at the office after all.

Today's best racing tips will be updated shortly.

Big-staking syndicate wins big Scoop6

Racing Post reports that:

"A BIG-staking syndicate edged out a minimum-stakes punter to emerge as the sole winner of Saturday's Totesport Scoop6.

Only two tickets remained heading into the final leg of Saturday's bet, with the syndicate from the south of England siding with favourite Binocular, although the £2 player got a run for their money when their selection Pierrot Lunaire got within a length and a quarter of the Adonis Juvenile Hurdle winner.

That result means the winners are £375,183 better off and will have the chance to play for a further £160,792 next week, while the ticket-holder who watched their selection finish second is one of 60 who collected the £1,843.70 place dividend."

Jeez, I would be gutted to have been that individual with just a 2 quid entry, especially to be beaten by an alredy wealthy syndicate...just have to keep trying or start a scoop6 syndicate of your own.

millionaire punter

Curious and curiouser...The Bedale millionaire punter yet to collect his winnings:

Despite visiting one William Hill betting shop where it was confirmed that his 50p bet had won him a world record £1million profit, a Yorkshireman has yet to contact the shop in Thirsk where he placed his wager on Friday to arrange for payment.

"We have been maintaining a vain vigil for the mystery punter," said Hill's spokesman Graham Sharpe. "While we are quite happy to earn a day or two's interest on the massive winning wager we are baffled as to why the winner - a man in his late fifties or early sixties, we believe, has not contacted us as yet to arrange for payment of his recoird £1million winnings."

The man placed his 50p bet on eight horses running on Friday - the first named Isn't That Lucky and the last, A Dream Come True. All eight won, overcoming odds of 2,000,000/1 and making him Britain's first betting shop millionaire.

However, the man's luck seems to have run out - he staked £2.50 on Saturday, and lost the lot. "At that rate in 400,000 days' time we should have won the million back," commented Sharpe.

How to turn 50p into a million

Sporting Life report that a local - to me - thirsk punter won a £1million for just 50p! if only i had put my 7 winners on Thursday into amulti bet like that!

William Hill punter was believed to have become Britain's first betting-shop millionaire on Friday night after an eight-horse accumulator landed odds of more than £2,000,000-1.

His 50p stake won him a cool £1million - which is Hills' limit on horseracing.

Hills say the customer is a regular in a Thirsk-based branch and places these type of bets almost daily - although he has never previously come close to winning on a major scale.

"Even a scriptwriter couldn't have dreamt this one up," said spokesman David Hood.

"His first winner was called Isn't That Lucky in the 2.55pm at Sandown on Friday afternoon and his last winner was A Dream Come True in the 9.20pm at Wolverhampton.

"It is a staggering bet and earns him a place in history as the world's first betting-shop millionaire."

The customer's winning selections:

:: Isn't That Lucky - 2.55pm Sandown (8-1)

:: Mutamarres - 3.05pm Nad Al Sheba (7-2)

:: Mutasallil - 3.40pm Nad Al Sheba (11-2)

:: Racer Forever - 4.15pm Nad Al Sheba (4-1)

:: Ede's 4.50pm - Warwick (10-1)

:: Rio L'Oren - 7.50pm Wolverhampton (15-2)

:: Guadaloup - 8.20pm Wolverhampton (11-2)

:: A Dream Come True - 9.20pm Wolverhampton (5-2)

Thursday horse racing tips

Todays early email alert has been sent for the Ayr Jackpot Race Meeting.

Sorry about the days off, some strong antibiotics have started to clear up my sinusitis and aches, pains and temperature are subsiding so back to the hot keyboard today.

I fancy the first shorty ...... to win but instead of ....Ayr I reckon last years winners .... could take this again this year.

A couple of odds on shots in my selections today which cannot be omitted for jackpot purposes but will not be value single bet propositions unless you are a high roller and can risk 5K to win 1K..

Tuesday horse racing tips

The Racing Post reports that there are late inspections at both jumps meetings today:

"Sedgefield inspect at 11am with clerk of the course Charlie Moore saying: "You couldn't abandon racing today and the chairman of the stewards is absolutely adamant about that, so we're going to roll forward to the morning. We are trying to race, and by the time the temperature drops tonight, the whole course will be under cover."

Taunton's chances appear reasonably bright, with clerk of the course Michael Trickey cautiously optimistic ahead of a 10.30am inspection.

He said: "We had a minimum of -5C on Sunday but we were raceable by 1pm."

Both are under great pressure to try to ensure racing goes ahead but the lateness of the inspections makes me very wary of betting at those meetings.

Plus, I am only about 40 mins from Sedgefield and it is a winter wonderland here - the fields were frozen solid on Sunday and have not thawed in between at all..

Add in the poor card at Southwell - only one race with 8 runners and that is a claimer - and my still being full of flu - it all adds up to a "no bets" day...

Sunday Horse Racing Tips

Today's racing tips will be published shortly..

I was delighted to get an early winner yesterday,with Pasco obliging in the first at Newbury, I am getting to dislike Saturday racing more and more, traditionally known to be a good day for the bookies so I was pleased to shut up the office early. That said Denman was beautiful to watch but unlike Harry Findlay I don’t have the bank to stake 4K to win 1K – a return many businesses could never even dream of.

How to make a profit dutching bet stakes

I have now added a dutching calculator to my main racing tips site as i use one when working out how to split my stake when I tip two or more horses in the same race

Dutching is a method used to back more than one horse in a race and works by putting the correct stake on each horse so that no matter which horse wins the same amount of profit is returned.

Dutching is a really powerful staking tool and was allegedly, created during the Prohibition Era by Al Capone's accountant, "Dutchy" Schultz. The amount he bet on each horse was carefully calculated so that the same amount of profit was madeif any of the horses he backed won the race.

Monday racing tips

May be late online as I have yet another hospital appointmet this morning.

The move to a stop at a winner system is still working well despite some real nightmares with the proofing...missed proofing a couple of winners by half a second and went into full tilt proofing mode racking up huge imaginary losses when I had actually already locked in the profit for the day, duh!

Southwell and Lingfield look real stinkers today so I am hoping for an early winner again then I can leave them alone.
