CLUB 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 the race live, or watch it on Betfair.
- For Tripler, OBAD, and Ratchet, I use the 3 selections generated by the HRP software, assess each one, and then state my predictions. Sometimes, the result of a previous race dictates my next predictions or not. The automated Platinum spreadsheet determines your next stake.
- I ALWAYS stop betting if I hit my target of 2.5% (or as near as dammit.) If you get close to your personal target, it’s your decision as to whether you want to carry on. In the past 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.
- A winner (or winners) at odds totalling 1.25 or above will hit your Daily Target. A profit of 2.5% per day will double your Bank in a month.
DOC’S FAV GOLDMINE NOTES:
STAKING PLAN 1
- 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 a stake.
- If a loss occurs, keep to the last stake and not 10% of the new, reduced Bank.
STAKING PLAN 2 (This follows Dave & Gav’s C20 staking plan:)
- Divide your Total Betting Fund into 4 equal blocks. (25% per block.)
- One block – (25%) is used as your Frontline Betting Bank with either 10% or 20% as your stake. (Your choice.) 75% is held in reserve in case of a major loss.
- As you are only using 25% of your Total Bank to bet with, you may want to “Collapse” your Bank and start again at a profit of either 5% or 10%. The choice is yours.
- Any winnings are added to your Total Betting Bank and then the whole process of splitting into 4 blocks starts again.
- You will need to use Gav & Dave’s Spreadsheet to calculate your stakes. (If not a VIP member, you may want to stick with 10% of your Betting Bank as your stake, then follow rules 1 – 3 above.)
As Albert Einstein allegedly said: “Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder Of The World.”

Hi Rob,
Disappointing setback yesterday with your Goldmine and OBAD finishing 3rd when you advocated 2 TBP.
One question to ask please concerns liquidity in the place market if too many people follow a particular strategy. Can you offer an opinion regarding this please?
Thanks
Richard
I had 16.10 – Down Royal – Macdermot 3tbp @ 1.2 it was 1.18 when I looked and put an order in for 1.2 which got matched
Hi Richard. I don’t really advocate anything in particular. If the odds warrant, I will show the odds for either extra places or less places. It’s not a recommendation, it is there solely for you guys to choose which to go with. (It’s only in bold text so it stands out as different.) Apologies for any confusion.
As for liquidity, I have never really suffered as my bets aren’t sizeable enough to have that problem. All I know is Betfair is massive, so hopefully, there should always be the opportunity for your bets to get matched. (Hopefully!!)
