** 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 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.

 

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

 

STAY SAFE FELLAS.

 

** 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. **

 

TODAY’S HRP SELECTIONS

 

TRIPLER

12.15 – Musselburgh – Thunder Rock. (77) – Nearest competitor is a Non-Runner so it leaves it rather unopposed. WIN.

12.45 – Musselburgh – Collingham. (74) – Great on the flat and a recent debut win over hurdles should pave the way for another success. WIN.

16.30 – Wolverhampton – Peripeteia. (54) – On paper, it should be a straightforward victory. It is so well fancied that even with 11 runners, the Place Odds are shockingly low. So, it’s a WIN.

 

OBAD

12.15 – Musselburgh – Thunder Rock. (77) – Nearest competitor is a Non-Runner so it leaves it rather unopposed. WIN.

 

RATCHET – Same selections as Tripler but in the PLACE MARKET. Instructions for use: http://bit.ly/35tpfR

 

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 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.

12.45 – Musselburgh – Skycutter. (1.24 – 6 – 2)

13.15 – Musselburgh – First Impression. (1.45 – 6 – 2) 3 TBP at 1.17

 

 

YESTERDAY’S SUMMARY

A really mixed day. A win in Race 1 on Tripler was hopefully enough to hit or be close to target. Race 2 was a poor 5th with Race 3 serving up our second first place. It was a win for OBAD and Ratchet had a Race 1 winner, followed by that poor 5th place and another winner.

Doc’s Fav Goldmine started off with a dreadful attempt in Race 1, It got to 3rd place then simply ran out of steam. Well done trainer, you knob! You cost me money! Race 2 pulled a little back. I don’t mind if one of my selections loses, but please, NOT in the first race!!!
