Well theres always Sportz's idea that you only bet when your tip corresponds with theirs (at least that way they wont be ahead of you in the tipping lol)if you think theyre good enough.
You could pick the card in single bets on a weekend and still not be in front enough to carry you through next week or cover last weeks losses the odds just arent there unless your back a heap of second favourites and they get up.
The only way to do any good i think is A)Have 1decent bet on the weekend maybe 2 even if you have to take short odds
b)Points start(set your own also) where i definately wouldnt be depending on tipsters for (id rather get that info from here )
c)2,3or 4 leg multis with or without start and maybe the odd allweekender thrown in there just to see if you can last past saturday
d)All of the above coupled with your own knowledge and any gleaned .
Ive been Haphazzard with my betting so far because ive been having fun and holding my own..... but the eels stung me last weekend and along with some ideas from here Im gunna pull my head in (no dont rub your hands together with glee Ill still be posting my losers for everyone to see )But ill be concentrating on the structure of my bets .
Anyway we'll know by post mortem time on sunday how it all went... hopefully better than last week
