Great quote on the front page of the racing post "Anone who believes what some trainers tell them is mad and any trainer who tells the truth is equally mad.

Anyone know why he hasn’t been on RUK for some time?
I think in a previous life Dave was a member of the Royal Scots Hussars
and got a bit carried away unleashing his "sword"! He needs to learn to keep it sheathed, as it can scare young girls who only want to come racing to see the horses!Anyone know why he hasn’t been on RUK for some time?
because he gives punters good advice and a good steer.
Bookies don’t appreciate that.
Now we get BOOKIES GIVING PUNTERS ADVICE ON WHAT TO BACK!!!!!!
My much missed Grandpa would have died laughing if the cancer had got him first!!!
RidiculousEx public school tw*t, in my opinion. Full of himself.
Gambling Only Pays When You're Winning
Well his school was a ‘public school’ in the sense that it was open to the public – but he went to a Grammar school.
Grammar school = poor man’s public/PRIVATE school.
No matter, still a tw*t.

I don’t think I would ever contemplate paying to read anything penned by Dave Nevison. To be honest, I’d think carefully before reading it for free.
There is an air of superiority about the man, an inane smugness that is unbecoming of someone who I rarely see (on RUK at least) providing clues to winners. I have browsed some of his work on occasion and generally find nothing of any substance between the Segal-esque nonsense and tactless aftertiming.
I remember reading something he wrote for Racing and Football Outlook some years ago, where he jubilantly declared that he had backed a 66/1 winner but ‘didn’t know why’. No mention of it beforehand, no inclination that he might be considering it, it just hit him (rather conveniently only moments before the race).
As I understand it, his previous forays into the world of literature have offered some insight into how ‘professional betting’ has effected his life on a personal level. Whilst it may be enlightening, who couldn’t talk about how adversity has shaped who they are? Some choose to divulge their deepest, darkest secrets to help others, and some just like to talk about themselves whenever possible.
Personally I always found his column in Racing & Football Outlook quite amusing but although I know how he works with value bets I can’t for the life of me see how he makes a profit backing many hores in the same race in such a seemingly haphazard way ie without any real attempt at dutching to ensure a profit from a winner.Maybe that’s why he has to keep writing books?
I thought the first book could have been neatly reduced to useful ten pages. It was boring
I read and enjoyed his first book and am looking forward to reading his latest one.
Same here.
I thought DN’s first book was quite OK. I borrowed it from the library not sure I’d buy it though.
I thought the most intriguing parts of the book were when he mentioned his business partner. It seemed to me he/she were the brains behind the staking/punting. Anyone know who he/she is?
Dave is undoubtedly a bit of a tit, but he’d be happy to admit that. He is certainly neither arrogant nor conceited. He’s an intelligent bloke who happens to be enormously impulsive and probably bets that way, not necessarily able to explain his reasoning but still using some nugget of wisdom he’s picked up along the way. I’d be interested to read a memoir of Dave’s that concentrates on himself rather than his betting to be honest.
