WELL WELL WELL never again will i be posting a "certainty".

Unbelievable , nothing can get past the hex or hoodoo of the this forum can it?

Luckylouie - Yes you are correct it is the Charter publishing system.One of my friends bought it a few weeks ago and being a bit of a novice at punting showed it to me its first pick since then was Rubitano 2 weeks ago and as we know it won well , so at first i thought this might not be to bad (even though looking at the rules some appear to be totally illogical!!!)

So i thought i would post the next selection(s) on the forum and look what happens.

Size Her Up didn't run to bad but was never a threat and Rubitano , well what can you say 2nd last over the line nothing to excuse it but an irregularity which we probably won't know till the morning.

Catparrot - This may sound totally hypocritical but i definetely agree with you that no horse is a "certainty" or a "sure thing" but when you are totally confident about a horses winning chances what else can you say "i think it will win" or "i hope it will win" , if you believe that you wouldn't you wouldn't be a very profitable punter.

Becareful - What happens if you back the 20/1 shot and the horse with a 70% chance of winning actually wins the race? Is the bet still a smart one?

I know this has been said and argued before but i believe one of the key components to successful betting is "AGGRESSION" , surely if you believe a horse is going to win a race you either back it or if its to short for your liking stay out of race.
