Yeah, just trying a few things out over the past couple of days.

As I said, I also liked Swinging Bachelor a bit in the first at Flemington today, but I chickened out of posting that tip on here. I'm very disappointed about that. Out of the 3 races I posted, Pompeii Ruler was the one horse that I was most confident about and he won easily, so that wasn't too bad.

What a hopeless start!!!

I have a feeling that today may be the last day that I ever post tips, ratings and such on this forum.

I'm afraid to say that I simply do not have the right temperament to be a tipster. I just worry FAR too much about losing or more especially other people losing off my tips. I actually get quite stressed about it. And it affects my judgement badly, ruining my confidence (which isn't great anyway) and causing me to pick horses that I personally would never back (Giacometti today), and leave out others that I do (Swinging Bachelor yesterday). Look at today. I've tipped a whole stack of shorties, because I was simply too scared to go looking for value.

So for my own sake and for the sake of anyone who might follow my tips, I think I'll quit while I'm behind.

I think I'll just stick to running a few comps on here. That's a lot more fun and not anywhere near as stressful.

settle down sporty ...if anyone follows your tips they do so at their own risk...i've hardly picked anything all year ...i couldnt care less ..if my tips are losing then i am,, so i'm in the same boat..

why dont you list some tips but explain why you like them ...that way people can see your reasoning and judge it themselves ..similar to what sven , Luv2 , Mr ed and i do..
you do a good job Sportz ...didnt you just get stickpin ??
you cant pick them all ...especially on a day like today ..

ps...I've just got some mail about udder brilliance from a guy at the track,,expected to run well...worth an e/w me thinks .. (enter at own risk)
lol

The state of some of the tracks the past few days probably hasn't helped.

Mav,

I'm afraid I don't have anywhere near the confidence that you or some others on here do. And any loser that I tip, knock my confidence around even more. It would be better for my own punting (and for my stress levels) if I didn't post any more tips.

I don't wann p*ss in your pocket..... but.....Your tips are vary very very consistent and exteremly reliable. IMHO You are an excellet analyst and I hope you get to read this.... just hope you'er not purched on the Westgate Bridge (if in Melbourne - don't know any landmarks around your area - sorry !) ... gazing down....... DON'T JUMP !!!!

Slap yourself in the face and WAKE UP FELLA.....

I for one enjoy your tips and follow them and the do very well, thank you very much..... anyway your a big boy and my 2c worth won't make an ounce of s*it to you as to whether you keep posting tips or not..... but tomorrow is another day.....

Be Good Fella

Question Query

Hi Fella

What I find funny (well absolutley bizzare!! ) is that no one has razzed you (except maybe me) about not posting your tips....

I think it's a waste.... even if you did call me a "desperate".......

Anyway.... what is the story?

Probably because the tips just weren't good enough and nobody's missing them. Or people just realise that it's everyone's own personal choice whether they post tips or not.

As I said, I'm afraid I just don't have the right temperament to be a tipster. I know it's hard to understand, but believe me, it's a big weight off my shoulders now that I'm not posting tips on here. I feel more relaxed and my own punting has improved as a result.

Stix, I'm very sorry if you're disappointed at me not tipping any more.
