Roughie Tips
 

Might as well throw in some "roughie tips".
(Roughie = $8.00+ pre-post (Hopefully ;0 ) )

I always back them 1x3.... let's see how it goes....

Follower for Thursday
 

Have a follower for today (not included in usual tips - although could be a roughie tip) and is of interest.

SADISTIC BALLARAT R5 No.8 (1200m)
Should have won debut, ran 7th to the "mighty" Wenceslas Square before Xmas and not that far away last start at Colac. Worth a 1x1 bet..... perhaps.... not overly confident..... (just posting for interest sake) ;)

Have to get you to define your tips a bit better, Stix. You said this about the races for last Tueday --- and counted them in your results; but on other days you indicated a betting strategy (2x1, or whatever). Do you count the 'roughies' like today's tip? 1x3 you have indicated somewhere. Just a bit confused.

But I do appreciate your efforts --- and success is all we wait for!!! Thanks.

Don't think many people would have been able to get on Bust Up yesterday! Miss Bridport was certainly good though.

Clarification........
 

Merri.

The one's I post - I back !! plain and simple.... I don't pretend to preach how others should bet....... I see what your getting at, but I only post what I, "at the time" of posting, think "I" will bet i.e. 1x2, 1x3... etc

I didn't have a chance to clarify the Finlayson/Beach Cookie post.... but at least I posted (and backed) them !! ;)

Sadistic today is just a speccy - and is a "follower" rather than a tip - i.e. a horse that is of some interest to me and "maybe" of some interest to others and is not included in my "regular" tips...... hence posted seperately. Miss Bridport was a late posting as I wasn't going to include roughies (not that rough in the end :confused: ) in the regualr tips.... and may keep a seperate register of these.....

As I said above - what I post, I back - and today Sadistic will be a small bet as it is a speccy..... People can make their own minds up how to back them if they choose to have a go at the one's I post.... please don't hold me to ransom or "rely" on what I post - I try and post what I think should give us a return - and touch wood - we are travelling alright..... perhaps I'll just stick to posting horses and not betting suggestions or summaries.... i.e. Sportz/Mav & co.........(much less work - eh!? :D )

Anyway hope you have a win...... Good Luck Fella....

Well, I don't really post betting suggestions or summaries either now. I probably should as it would be a better way of describing how keen or otherwise I am about particular horses.

It's tough tipping every day of the week, when some days are just not very inspiring at all. Yesterday was one of those days. Only one race I really liked, but I gave 5 tips, because I thought it would look silly just tipping one race. Today's much the same. I'm not really keen on a lot today.

Race 8 No.1 Wyndam Fortune

Thanks for the quick reply, Stix, and the explanation. I certainly don't want to be seen as ungrateful -- far from it -- but was just trying to clarify things.

Can undestand your approach much better now.

Thanks --- and good luck too --- though as Sportz remarked we probably all should have our heads read for trying anything today!
