Re: Finding winners
Well I do what I do the way that I do it. I get my information where I always have. To say a horse was never 25/1 is fair enough but it sounds muddled to me as we obviously use different sources. I just happen to trust the Express and if you care to look there it wasn't mentioned in the betting insi...

Re: Finding winners
It's not that I'm saying I backed them, because I didn't. Interestingly you say if you could have Thurs paper on Wednesday, if and it's a big if you'll see that weeks ago I said this very thing i.e. Look at the previous days results to see the why's and wherefores of each race and work it back the w...

Re: Finding winners

Re: Finding winners
Thanks for the comments however it is a watching brief anyway, no money will change hands, promise. If you are a lawyer, dentist, doctor or even an accountant, you will have books as a point of reference. Even Mary Berry can refer to her cook books for info.

Re: Finding winners

Re: Finding winners
Flipacoin I have thoughts on thiis......as for years I've tried to get into the head of bookmakers. Think on this.....there are horses that the bookie shortens and horses that the bookie needs to shorten! Now could we say the former is the red herring and the latter the nugget? Possibly.

Shakeshuck I've omitted to look at the weight issue and claims as I've been " testing " a ratings system and as you may remember I'm not too keen on all the techie stuff. But looking through some winners yesterday on weight/ claimer possibilities, I found the following. Wolverhampton Athas...

Re: Finding winners
Andyrich Thanks for the info and viewing which I looked at with interest. At my age I don't think I have enough life in me to dedicate to the pursuit of all the details but thanks anyway. I think I'll stick to my own systems!!! General As I said before racing...another tough Saturday but as you'll s...
