The Daily Donkey put in a blinder with a profit of 10.06 units, and we massaged ourselves to a 2 unit loss! You've got to hate that. Still ahead on POT.

PS: I actually managed a small profit for the night on the strength of laying to prices.

PPS: Note that the Daily Donkey appear to have changed their results and they now show a small loss for the weekend.

The Daily Donkey show the selection Malmo Boy as a winning lay to them in their results from last night. Rest assured I've the negative entry in my Betfair account that says otherwise. It won by a little over a length.

Makes you think about the accuracy of some of their other results...

i have to laugh at some SO called results on betting services ect..

some name 5 horses in a race ,,i remember one claiming the 1st4 in last years MC but to get it you'd of had to box 10 horses....

Cuts down their profit considerately!!

Yes but I did take that into account when I posted their 10.06 unit profit.

Still quietly confident that we'll do better than their brute force approach. They were fortunate that the other winners were mostly long odds on.

Should we be using the Racing Index (www.racing-index.com) to assess the Daily Donkey's results? I think this has the advantage of being independant, and a lot less work of a morning. We could just put the start and end dates in and off we go.

Secondly, for ease of management (mine) should we be including the weekends as well as selections over 10/1? The problem is though that I'm unable to post our subset of selections most weekends as I try to use Saturday nights and Sundays to get on with life. I'd therefore have to post the selections early the next week which is no good for punting, but helps with our comparison. Would you consider this cheating?

What do you think?

I certainly think that method of recording results would be fine.

What we really need is a 24 hours non stop racing service that screens US races, Aussie races, Hong Kong, South Africa, UK all live.
In this day and age it doesn't make sense to not have a dedicated channel to world racing. Pacing and greyhounds could be done on a seperate channel to avoid clashes.

Thanks. I'll get a couple more opinions but I reckon this is the way to go. Your right with the pricing of these selections.

You could do some type of IPTV that was viewable on a computer. Buffering would be an issue but it'd be a good start.
