O.K now the Melbourne Cup has been run and won, and once again i have made numerous ridiculous bets during the carnival, which has all but wiped me out. Have $1586 left in my Sportsbet account and it's time to start punting smart.

I continue to maintain a blackbook who's entrants invariably run well and have great strikerates but my inability to control my wagering sees all this hardwork squandered on donkey's before the day winds up.

But not anymore, from now on any blackbook entrant now gets a level stakes 1 x 4 wager on it's next two starts (conditions apply), and that's it, no more bets.

I have found that by over-analysing races i am missing too many winners and looking back through my records have found that by just backing my B/Bookers wherever they run i'd have more success.

I'll post tips, blackbook comments, and results on this thread for a while and see how we go, 2 selections tomorrow.
