Bj, not sure why you would envy me for, when I envy everyone else on this forum. I cannot do ratings, video watch/times etc.
I do remember Sportz’s newspaper methods, and one of mine is still his today Inside/Outside – except I only look at the last two runs.
I also remember, when first finding this site, and backing Williams tips each day, then I thought what he does not put his selections here, What will I do.
I love to bet each day to, I am sick of loosing, sick of putting money into my betting account, sick of “buying” tips and going no where. But I am also only a small bettor
What I wanted to do, was to be able to pick up the newspaper and make a selection from that.
When I finally came to realize that I may not have a bet each day, I would say " there is always tomorrow or the next”.
Then when I found my selections, I would place my bets before the first race. This works two ways for me. Firstly I found if I “looked around” before doing so, it would sway me to go with popular belief, no one had picked my selection so therefor it could not win. And Secondly I would not have to look at the price when placing the bet, if it was to high, once again I would say it won’t win.
I also came to realize that the newspaper favourite is maybe not the tab favourite, and this is where the good returns comes in. Once I put all this is to practice, things turned around for me.
Partypooper, I only had one bet today “One of a Kind”. It’s the favourite in my paper. Only paid $1.70 for the win, but I won and I’m happy.
