** 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 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. 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.
2.5% A DAY??? Currently, the BEST Bank savings interest rate on offer is 2.02% A YEAR!!!
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 superb Place Odds in excess of those required to hit your target. To my horse racing thicko’s mind, this is what I call a NO BRAINER.
I am trying out a NEW FEATURE – The “DFG ONE BET A DAY – OBAD” This is for those people who don’t have time to wait for several races and where I select ONE RACE A DAY which I think is the best bet for a good return. So far, things are going exceptionally well. 🙂
As Albert Einstein allegedly said: “Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder Of The World.”
STAY SAFE FELLAS.
CONGRATULATIONS TO REAL MADRID. GOOD EFFORT FROM LIVERPOOL. ( 😉 )
** NB. A SPLIT bet is normally divided into 25% for the WIN and 75% for the PLACE. (ie. 1/3.) If I mention a 2/2 split, it means 50% for the WIN and 50% for the PLACE. (ie. 2/2.) **
I will also be adding the current prices available for Tripler, OBAD & Ratchet.
TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS
TRIPLER
13.55 – Punchestown – Mitiva. (67) – Should win, but there are 2 of my strongest fears – a race in Ireland, (which tends to bugger my selections up) & a huge field of 17. I’m looking at a SPLIT. (3.0 & 1.47.)
14.12 – Kelso – Cirque Royal. (74) – Ridden by that cheeky Geordie, Ant McPartlin, the big danger is Jim Bowen on Ted Hastings. I’m going for a SPLIT. (2.18 & 1.30.)
14.56 – Uttoxeter – Peerless Beauty. (69) – In a totally different universe to the rest. This horse has already won, had his bath, got home & is watching tomorrow’s episode of Emmerdale. WIN. (1.89.)
OBAD
14.12 – Kelso – Cirque Royal. (74) – Ridden by that cheeky Geordie, Ant McPartlin, the big danger is Jim Bowen on Ted Hastings. I’m going for a SPLIT. (2.18 & 1.30.)
RATCHET
Same selections as Tripler but in the PLACE MARKET. Instructions for use: http://bit.ly/35tpfR3
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 a stake.
- If a loss occurs, keep to the last stake and not 10% of the new, reduced Bank.
I am 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.
From now on, I will now show the odds for the EXTRA PLACE (and occasionally, 2 TBP) if the prices have merit. This is for those who want a little extra security and are prepared to accept lower odds for the Extra Place, and better odds if it’s well fancied on the 2 TBP market.

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY
As poor today on the 3 main systems as it was good the other day. Tripler started with 2 poor performances, followed by a Race 3 win. With the increase in stake, it should have pulled some back. The OBAD selection lost and only Race 3 came out with any credit on Ratchet.
Doc’s Fav Goldmine had four selections and we came out of it with 3 first places and a Race 4 3rd place win. Great day. Odds, were 1.43, 1.46, 1.42 & 1.34. Awesome if you went with all four. 🙂
DFG OBAD was a winner at target beating odds of 1.43.
TRIPLER
14.05 – Beverley – Absolutelyflawless. (64) – Quite an open race and some fairly long odds on the top runners. Ours is not a definite, but I reckon it will finish in the places. SPLIT. (4.20 & 1.69.) RESULT – 4th.
15.15 – Beverley – Whistle And Flute. (69) – Very similar to Race 1. SPLIT. (3.20 & 1.44.) RESULT – 7th.
17.50 – Ffos Las – Leading Theatre. (64) – Time to step up and show the rest a clean pair(s) of hooves. WIN. (1.61.) RESULT – 1st.
