** House Notes** Be careful if races start close to each other. You may not get the results of the race you placed a bet on before the next race starts, so do try to either watch a Live Feed of the race or “watch” the race in real-time at Betfair. **

For Tripler, OBAD, and Ratchet, I use the 3 selections generated by the HRP software, assess each one, and then say what I am going to do. Obviously, you can make your own decisions as to what you think the outcomes will be. Sometimes, the result of a previous race will dictate whether I stick with my predictions or not. The automated HRP spreadsheet determines your next stake, based on the result of the previous race and is geared at helping you hit your daily target.

My new system, Doc’s Fav Goldmine, is coming along nicely and I have had many winners on the spin. My small stakes have increased in size, due to a constant supply of winning selections 🙂 My DFG Bank is now really building nicely. I only started keeping accurate records since April 1st, 2021. In the first 3 months, my Bank has increased 630.77%. However, as the stake is 10% of the Betting Bank, any losses do hit hard but I have always caught up rapidly before moving ahead again.

I ALWAYS stop betting if I hit my target of 2.5% (or as near as dammit.) Use your common sense – if you get close to your personal target, it’s your decision as to whether you want to carry on & go for it. Personally, I learned the harsh lesson of being greedy, and many times, when just under my target, I have “Gone for it,” only to lose the lot chasing bigger profits.

It’s your call as to whether you take the early odds, hoping they will then go down, or wait until nearer the off hoping the odds have increased. The key thing to remember is a winner (or winners) at odds totaling 1.25 or above will hit your Daily Target. A profit of 2.5% per day will double your Bank in a month.

As a non-horse racing expert, it still amazes me that in a race with only 4, 5 or 6 runners where there is a massive favourite, you can still occasionally pick up Place Odds in excess of 1.50. To my horse racing thicko’s mind, this is what I call a NO BRAINER.

As Albert Einstein allegedly said: “Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder Of The World.”

STAY SAFE FELLAS.

TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS

TRIPLER

13.15 – Sedgefield – All Clenched Up. (72) – Only 5 runners and ours is by quite a distance, the best in the field. WIN.

15.55 – Sedgefield – Fontana Ellissi. (67) – This race only has 4 runners. Ours is right at the top, closely followed by October Storm, which could be a danger. By a short head, I’m plumping for my second WIN.

19.25 – Chelmsford – Valiant Prince. (59) – This horse isn’t just head and shoulders above the rest, it’s already won the race 9 hours before it started. WIN.

OBAD

13.15 – Sedgefield – All Clenched Up. (72) – Only 5 runners and ours is by quite a distance, the best in the field. WIN.

DOC’S FAV GOLDMINE

• All selections are in the PLACE market.
• Stop at a profit of 2.5% per day. (Or as near as.)
• Use 10% of your Bank as stake.
• If a loss occurs, keep to the last stake and not 10% of the new, reduced Bank.

I am also showing the early Place Odds in brackets together with the number of runners and the number of horses to be placed. It’s your decision as to whether or not you take the early odds or wait, hoping they will increase. The key thing to remember is a winner/winners at odds totaling 1.25 or above will hit your Daily Target. A profit of 2.5% per day will double your Bank every month.

Please be prepared to change your line of thinking – “on the hoof” so to speak – if the odds move dramatically. They may drift, thus making the selection a “No Bet”, or the odds may steam in, making it not worth taking the risk.

If you want to, you can omit any bets with odds below 1.25 (or thereabouts) and just concentrate on the bets over those odds. This reduces the number of bets but means if you get a winner, you have hit your target and can stop betting for the day, not having to risk any more money on another race. (It also means, however, if you do get a loser, there will be fewer races left to recoup any losses.)

Because of a strong winning 3 months, the stakes are getting quite serious now. I’m trying to be mega confident in my selections so will be scrutinising them in a little more detail.

13.15 – Sedgefield – All Clenched Up. (1.15 – 5 – 2)

14.20 – Sedgefield – Stonific. (1.63 – 6 – 2)

15.15 – Haydock – New Kingdom. (1.14 – 8 – 3)

18.30 – Dundalk – Stour. (1.27 – 8 – 3)

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY

What a cracking start to the new month. On Tripler, we had a Race 1 split win followed by a win in Race 2. That should have been sufficient to hit target and stop for the day before the 2nd place in Race 3. OBAD, unfortunately, came 2nd, but again, all 3 horses finished in the places for a nice win on Ratchet.

Doc’s Fav Goldmine came up with 4 selections. The first 3 races provided us with 2 x first places and a second-place before Race 4 let us down. I stopped after Race 1 as I got early odds of 1.65, giving me a profit on the day of 6.59%. (The odds actually increased a little later on.) I am determined NOT to be greedy. It’s all well and good looking at the following results and thinking “If Only…” I have done that too many times and come a cropper. Now, if I hit my target, that is all I am interested in. I’m not a gambler; I am simply sticking to my tried and trusted formula.
