Tarbs,

I see where you're coming from, but I agree with Sportz - tips posted are a guide of what we will be backing and as I stated in my response to Matilda, often I'll throw in a couple of extra nags

As I post my tips generally well before the races and a lot can and does happen between now and then.... i.e. scratching/weather etc, but what I post is what i post and I back them and I always back my (*) confident selection hard....... as I think they (in opinion) are a good bet/punt and have a crack at them accordingly.... And I always go with my first impressions, because as soon as you change it.....well you know the story....

As you can see from Yesterday NSW was not real good to me and the results posted reflect that....

To hold someone to ONLY the tips that they post is a bit unrealistic.... they are only trying to give their opinion.... as, you know - it's a hard game.... and as Sportz said people have savers on the races they tip. It would be unrealistic to detail exact betting behaviour prior to the races as people look for value, track bias etc...... Also I have several bets other than those posted, and don't post them because I don't want to post tips for posting sake.... I never used to have savers or back more than my one horse in a race - NEVER.... and then mainly due to this forum.... my betting behaviour has changed quite a lot and to the betterment of my punting balance.... but not saying it suits everyone....just try and help those people who read the forum.... hope they do ok from my tips.... cos lord know some days are very very bad.....Like 20 August, when I got doughnuts from my tips....

I certainly make a noise when I have a win and report my bad days as well (all too often!).....

Good Luck Tarbs........ enjoy the ride !

Yours In Punting

thanks for the insights sportz,

regards.

thanks stix,

I must admit it is more fun when you get a good tip here and get to enjoy it with everyone, and I did see that original post of yours, so thanks

Tarbs i know where you are coming from, but pretty much everyone else has cleared things up. As a very small punter i don't usually take multis such as tris etc due to the cost. It is therefore sometimes very hard to make a profit with some of the tips on here, just punting win and each way. Not saying the tips are bad or anything but you will often here maverick or whoever say it was a good reult from a particular race. I may have not had a good result from the same race using the exact same tips, because i have structured my betting differently.

Ie. Tips are 1,2,3,4. I may just back 1 for win only. Lets say it comes third. Whereas mav may back top selection for the win/EW and rove it with other selections or field for tris/FF's etc and subsequently makes a profit on the race. I am just speculating on what how he bets but you get my drift.

That said my method of betting doesn't work very well. I am constantly making losses. Lol. Umm, wait thats not funny.

few for today
Sydney.
*STRAMOS, its first up run was sound should win this, would need 3s.
*CHERINE, going for a bit of value here, shouldve won last start and very close before that to a smart horse. Suitable distance here and drawn well.e/w

MACKAY.
*DANZIG WARRIOR. should be e/w odds, ran a nice 2nd last run in decent time, down a class here and has a reasonable weight.
*EXPLOSIVE GAL. good run last start, would want some value though
*EXPRESS FORCE. A rise in distance here shouldnt be a problem, winning form is good form

Good luck to all..

Well, Beadman or no Beadman, Thunderbird Hill was pretty good value in the first. Goldtown was ridiculous odds and very disappointing.

Hilarious Gift is a late scratching. Might give this race a miss now or just have a small bet on 1 & 5 if the odds are okay.
