19th December - Horses

Ayr
1425 - Kempski - 1pt - won
(RP tips favourite Overserved has a massive weight addition, hasn't had recent form and a trainer RTF of 0. These factors, plus the addition of a jockey who hasn't had experience on the horse make it a bit of a longshot in my opinion. RP tips 2nd favourite Harry Flashman is my main concern. Kempski is TS favourite, if that'll sway you ;))

18th December - Horses

Now then, now then. Only one selection on a difficult day:

Taunton
1545 - Helm - 1pt - won
(Bumper the favourite hasn't run for a long while and I don't have faith that she will perform. Last ran in February. Helm is the best of the rest.)

Apology

Sorry for the lack of posts over the last few days, I haven't had any time to look at races or the snooker odds, as my Internet went down, and then had to prepare for moving home for Christmas (I'm a student). But I'm home and set up again now, so hopefully business will resume as usual.
Poor effort with the first Snooker attempts, but the information collected from the matches will benefit my player ratings.
Apologies if you have checked this page over the last few days and found nothing, but I'm back now.
Blog you tomorrow.

10th December - Horses

No bets today. It looks too difficult to call. I've decided to be a lot more picky with my selections, in the hope that I don't just make bets every day for the sake of it. Tighten up my game as it where.

10th December - Snooker - Round 3

OK, so had a quick sort out of this years championship. Round 3 selections thus far:

Match 33 - Ding Junhui - 1.6pt - won

Match 34 - Peter Ebdon - 1pt - won

Match 35 - John Higgins - 1pt - won

Match 36 - Ken Doherty - 1pt - lost

Match 37 - Mark Williams - 1pt - lost

Match 38 - Ronnie O'Sullivan - 1pt - won

Match 39 - Steve Davis - 1pt - won

Match 40 - Graeme Dott - 1pt - won

UK Championship - Snooker

The UK Snooker Championship is almost into the 3rd round. So I've started sorting out my selection process. It will hopefully be tested and useful by the end of the 3rd round. So I'll start posting my selections then, hopefully.

9th December - Horses

No selections yesterday, wasn't confident in any races. Another tough day today. But I think these two will show:

Market Rasen
1315 - Ever Special - 5pts - lost

Wolverhampton
2100 - Kildare Sun - 1pt - lost
_____________________________
Total bet -6pts
Return 0pts
Total -4.6pts

A really poor effort today. I didn't concentrate on what I was doing, or look over the races well enough. But, there's always tomorrow... Or the next day... Or the next day.

7th December - Horses

Ok, after a horrific couple of days of not being able to look over the races properly. Hopefully todays more thorough going over will yield some results:

Huntingdon
1400 - Ferimon - 1pt - won
(Stands out the most, but as long as he can stay up...)
- Denada - 0.5pts ew - 2nd
(... will be the best competition and if the price stays right, an each way bet is certainly worth it.)

Ludlow
1340 - Ryhope Chief - 0.5pts ew - lost
(This is a longer shot, but the drop in weight and the last three succesful experiences on the soft, make me think the jump of two classes will be less important. The only concern is stamina. Both favourites don't seem to have had much experience in the soft, so fingers crossed. Plus the price is right.)

Taunton
1450 - Fountain Crumble - 1pt - won
(Has a good chance. Lower weight drop then two favourites, also has experience on ground.)

Again, not a bad day. The final win covers the cost of bets with an extra 0.8pts to add to yesterdays total. Not huge leaps up the points, but a good start (as I've mentioned before).
Again, there won't be any selections until Wednesday 6th/Thursday the 7th as I'm in Newcastle, visiting my girlfriend. But play will resume after that.
