Winning Racing Tips April

Poor old blog, have been feeling pretty poorly so Gambling Housewife blog always seems to be the first to suffer, the good news is that so far April is going well, +41.45 points profit on singles to date...

The email tips are doing especially well, yesterday I wrote "Hope you are full of the joys of spring after a long weekend and some good results yesterday with both the best and next best winning plus the first long shot and the first top rated followed by the top rated lay as advised.

Today’s top rated should win easily but the Johnston hot pot will only get 5 points of my bank if I can get evens and Blackthorn similar at 11/10 or better but I will double them up with my best and next best."

Shame about Augustine but still a profitable days racing tips...

Sunday nap & next best bets won

Tasty little win double for Sundays horse racing tips

Best Bet: WON Euro American 7/2 2.00 Carlisle 5 points win

Next best racing tip: WON Harry Wood 2/1 4.40 Carlisle 5 points win, 1 pt double

The win double paid 13 points to each point bet with the singles returning a profit of 17.5 and 9.38 respectively for 22.88 points profit on the days singles alone.

Shame I can only proof singles as they are not always where my best profits really come from. For example my winning jackpot tips in January paid over 18 thousand pounds so for the rest of the year I only need to make about 40 pence a day to stay on target for 50 pounds a day...

Cheltenham winning racing tips

Oh dear, failed to find a winner away from Cheltenham yesterday but made a fair few points profit from the tips advised in my email:

'First day of Cheltenham and my main bets are elsewhere although I will be playing small stakes on some of my Jackpot selections, my main fancies being 3.15 Sublimity, 4.40 Spot Thedifference and 5.20 Madroos, two points each way and a small round robin.

I will also be laying My Way de Solzen 3/1 2.35 Cheltenham and Exit Swinger 5/2 4.55 Sedgefield plus a 5 point win on Rebel Army in the latter.'

The main dissapointment was My Way De Solzen which I reckon only won because my fancy Don t Push It fell.

Today I will be hoping for a big day for my Cheltenham tips, especially in the bumper...

100% strike rate continues

The lay tip wins again! In yesterday's email I wrote:

"Shame about the short price for Zaham as that makes it a no bet for me apart from for the Jackpot. The other top rated - Risk Accessor 11/8 4 Leicester – merits a 5 point lay risk with 5 points on V Williams Holy Joe to win. The lays for Feb & March have had a 100% strike rate!"

Monday Winning Double Racing Tips

Not too bad a day yesterday, I got it right when I wrote "Surrey Spinner 6/4 2.30 Ling is worth 5 points win bet' then I got the lay selection correct but not the winner of that race..." but I reckon Climate will beat Blue Sky Thinking today."

My "Next best: Three Thieves 3/1 2.20 Wolverhampton 5 points win" also obliged but my two longshots both just missed out on the places as both came in fourth..

Off to check out Newcastle and Southwell for today...

Interesting article in The Guardian about how greedy punters looking for an edge almost got stung big style.

They thought they "had stumbled upon an edge. The first goalscorer market on Betfair for the Coca-Cola Cup final appeared to be no less than 40% overbroke on the lay side, suggesting that anyone with half a brain could lay every eventuality for a guaranteed profit.
The good news was duly relayed to the rest of the forum, to general rejoicing and cries of "let's get stuck in". Which plenty of them duly did, laying the market for all they were worth - in fact, significantly more than they were worth, because Betfair's software recognised what seemed to be a locked-in profit and did not deduct it from their balance.....

....The problem arose because bets on players who do not start, or have not joined the game as substitutes by the time the first goal is scored, are cancelled, as more experienced Betfair players knew all too well. The market was not overbroke at all, it just looked that way.
The original thread tells the story best of all, in dozens of short episodes penned by those involved, which turn from smug backslapping to shock and embarrassment as it becomes clear that they might, in fact, be neck-deep in doo-doo. Had Betfair not decided to stand their losses, in fact, a number of them could have been several thousand pounds down."

Hilairious although the author does conclude that there are indeed adges to be had but not usually so apparently obvious.

Winning Treble Racing Tips

Well, pleased black February is behind me and winning racing tips are starting to flow again.

In saturdays email I wrote "Big roll over on the Scoop Six today, can I do a Haddock? For short priced fav backers La Dame Brune should boost your bank in the opener at Newbury, Karello Bay is a 5 point lay with 5 points win on Golden Child in that race. Please note I have changed back to 2 points each way on the long shots…

Best bet Saturday: Coach Lane 2/1 3.30 Kempton 7 points win

Next best tip: Maljimar 3/1 2.10 Newbury 5 points win, 1pt double...

My best bet and next best tips both won nicely and my email tip, Golden Child won at a very nice 4/1 with my singles, doubles and treble boosting my bank by 200 points!

Big Jackpot rollover Lingfield today

I must remember to put it on and repeat my winning jackpot selections!

"THE totejackpot went unclaimed at Towcester on Sunday to ensure a rollover of £206,436 starts the day at Lingfield on Monday.

A victory at Fontwell for 33-1 shot Whitford Don in leg four - paying 45-1 on the Tote - did the damage knocking out the remaining 145 tickets. Paul Petrie, totepool spokesman, said: “The big hitters got involved today and with an odds-on favourite winning the first things were definitely looking good.

“However, a 22-1 winner in the second leg and then a 33-1 winner in the fourth proved too difficult and there is a massive jackpot up for grabs to get the punting week off to a flyer.”"

I wish!

Winning longshots

...could do with a few at the monment! Moolarman posted some interesting observations about picking long priced winners:

"Here are a few distance switches you should look for. Give extra consideration for horses changing distances from:
1.) 6 - 6.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile or 1 Mile 1/16th race
2.) 1 Mile race 1 Mile 1/16th race to a 6 - 6.5 furlong race
3.) 5 - 5.5 furlongs to a 1 Mile race (this is very powerful!)
4.) 1 Mile race to a 5 - 5.5 furlong race
5.) 2 - 6 furlong races to a Route Grass Race
6.) For Maidens: 2 - 6 or 6.5 furlong races to a 1 mile 1/16 or 1 mile 1/8 race
(super powerful if combined with a drop in class!)
7.) 7 furlongs to 1 mile 1/16
8.) 1 mile 1/16 to 7 furlongs
Well there you have some super-potent trainer distance changes that can produce very big-priced horse racing longshots."

Finally, 5 minutes to catch up with my raicing tips blog...only five racing days into this month and already showing 44.11 points profit at advised stakes. The extra email shorties are going well - yesterday both won...the email tip alert advised 4 points on each..

05/02/07 Hexham Bedlam Boy Win 4
05/02/07 Wolverhampton Canadian Danehill Win 4

Johnston did me proud putting in my nap, News of The Day at 9/4 for 22 points profit.

Strange days racing today as both jumps cards have been abandoned so all my tips will be on the all weather racing at Southwell. I quite fancy Barron to put in a 1 -2 - fingers crossed!

What a week of winning tips

Just about recovered from the excitment of tipping up the jackpot on Thursday, only managed to get the placepot on Friday - but 8 times mind you....along with a couple of decent winners yesterday. I wrote in my email:

"I am hoping that that the Thursday jackpot and Friday Placepot were just warm ups for todays Scoop Six, the pool now stands at £678,610.99 and is growing by the minute.

The first two of today’s shorties are 5 point win bets, the third a 5 point lay as I believe Lodge Lane will win this. WON

Winning horse racing tips Saturday

What a great days racing last Saturday! In my email I wrote "I hope you all enjoyed watching yesterdays racing as much as I did. The highlights for me were Celtic Major who was given a superb ride in front from the off and although the favourite loomed up close to the finish he won in good style. Malettons race was a real nail biter but Sam Thomas did us proud despite pausing to look back through his legs. Johnstons two disappointed hugely."

The tips were:
"Gambling Housewife best bet Saturday: WON Maletton 3/1 3.50 Wincanton 8 points win

Next best tip: WON The Sawyer 9/4 3.30 Haydock 5 points win, 1pt double

One pt win 4pt place 0.5 ew dble: WON Celtic Major 14/1 3.20 Winc, Royal Engineer 20/1 3.40 Ling

Top rated shorties: LAY WON No Guarantees 11/4 2.15 Wincanton, Melpomene 11/10 6.20 Kempton Back or lay? Find out in my email alerts.

Sadly, after a cracking week Sunday and Monday fell far short with just an exacta and short priced winner but I am still top of the backing tipsters for the past month on Racing Index.

Four to one winning tip

Just the one bank saving winner yesterday but I learnt a couple of lessons..

Avoid any race meeting where an inspection has been held - the later the inspection the stronger this advice.

Listen to myself (again) Tuesday night I pencilled in the Prescott runner as a long shot, forecast to go off at 8/1 and with the profile of a Prescott plot horse. I discarded it because the morning betting showed it at around 7/2, 4/1 so I binned it. It later drifteed back to sevens and won..Grrrr

Yesterdays tip alert email read:

"lets hope to improve on yesterdays good results.
Unfortunatly I have say that I will not be betting on the top rated shorties today and could not find a win or place alternative so no bets in those races apart from for the jackpot. However Edin Burgher merits a 5 point single and 1 point treble with my nap and next best.

Best bet Voss 7/2 12.20 Lingfield 8 Points win

Next best bet: Dance The Mambo 7/2 12.40 Newcastle 5 points win, 1 point double

1 pt win 4pt place 0.5 ew dble: Polly Jones 9/1 3 Ling, Nomadic Blaze 12/1 3.20 Newc

Combination Exacta 0.5 pt: Nomadic Blaze, Young Smokey, Political Cruise 3.20 Newc

Top rated shorties:.The Whisperer 4/9 1.10 Newcastle, Noir Et Vert 8/13 1.45 Newcastle, Edin Burgher 3/1 2.25 Ling"

Wednesday, January 17, 2007

Tuesday winning email tip

Another good day for my racing tips yesterday + + 26.25 on just the singles!

best bet: WON Come Bye 9/4 2.20 Folkestone 8 points win

Next best bet: WON Topiary Ted 9/4 1.40 Wolverhampton 5 points win

Top rated shorties: WON Melpomene 13/8 Superrollercoaster 13/8, WON Hurlingham 1/2 3.30 S

Not too bad yesterday with only one tip failing to make the frame, shame the placepot went down on one leg, here's hoping I do better today.

Three top rated but I will be betting Melpomene & Superrollercoaster as 10 point singles and in a 2 point double plus a one point treble but no straight bet either back or lay on Hurlingham. In the 3.40 Wolves Glenviews Youngone could be the dark horse, 1 point win 4 points place for me.

Monday racing winnings

Another good day for my racing tips with only one from seven failing to make the frame for a very tasty 21.70 points profit plus a small exacta win to provide the icing on the cake.

Email subscribers did especially well if they followed my advice:

"Hope you had a great weekend, it certainly made mine when we came back from the pub to see that my nap and next best both won.

The two Barron shorties today were pencilled in as my nap and next best but are too short to qualify, however I rate them as 10 point back selections and will make a great treble with Maletton, also a 10 pointer. BTW both Barron horses are in Betfred best odds races.

Gambling Housewife's best bet: 2nd Running Hot 3/1 3 Plumpton 7 points win

Free racing tipsters tip (next best): PU Raki Rose 2/1 2 Plumpton 5 points win

One pt win 4pt place 0.5 ew dble: 3rd Ebony Jack 9/1 3.30 Plump, 1st Players Please 6/1 4.40 Wolves

Best combination exacta: Won Ex £18.10 Players Please, Challis, Six Day War 4.40 Wolves

Top rated shorties: Won Pietersen 5/4 2.10 W, 2nd Rafferty 4/5 3.10 W, won Maletton 6/4 2.50 Fakenham
