I thought I'd keep a running total of the tips I post this year ....... hopefully we have another successful year and keep the wife happy.....

I am not a straight out WIN punter - like a number of the members out there - I do like the 1x2 or 1x3 way of punting..... I just don't like 2nd's and 3rd's when only on for a win..... not that may of us do.

I'll post my tips with my early assesment of of staking (which of course may change dependant on price i.e. might be posted as 1x3 but then due to price I might end up going straight out 1x0 / 1x1 / 1x2 or no bet.... yatta yatta.

Anyway that's the plan........ see how we go.....

Well what a poor day to start my 2006 tips campaign........ Oh well (under my own sufferance) - I've come up with the following selection:

Albany R4-2 Shy Wild 1x2

(long way to go for a bet...... but need one to kick me off - Tomorrow looking much better)

Good luck for the year, Stix. May not be a bad start looking at its strike rate. Agree, however, that it is a long way to go for a bet

Ended up going 1 x 3 as it was a shorter price than expected and I was never 100% confident, but needed something to start the ball rolling......

Albany R4-2 Shy Wild 3rd $1.30
