Is 'Value' an excuse for racing pundits to hide behind.

[Sean Rua]

Thanks to all for their views. I don’t want to prolong this thread, either, so I’ll finish by saying that the most valuable thing in all this is our health.

Woods is dead; Moore is dead; and I get the feeling that Bentner has retired.

I’m just happy to be able to stand out in the rain and watch horses go galloping by. That’s my idea of value.

Never a truer word spoken Sean Rua. Your health is truly your wealth.

So bored you can all have 10000/1 on exactly fifteen pages on this damn subject.

Come on, over to Betfair.

Everyone makes mistakes Fist. I sometimes have backed a horse without studying enough, missed something. Not gone far enough back in a horses form to find something significant or not taken enough store in the trainers form.

Can not see why this example is a certainty. How can I back a horse at 4/1 that I think will win? If I think the 4/1 shot is 5% better than it should be (25% chance), then I am thinking it will not win. Has a 75% chance of losing! Thinking a horse will win means to me thinking it has a better than 50% chance.
Maybe you did not mean it in that way.

You have lost me completely Ginger the example I have given is betting 52 3 crosses in a year and needing only one up to show a profit.

If a punter can’t get a treble up out of 52 tries should he even be betting?

I’m going to do it again like I used to right after Cheltenham as an interest and my first 3 in BoB rolfs comp will be my actual bets…..watch this space and you may cotton on to the fact it’s much less work then you do and a lot more profitable in the long run. It’s certainly less risky as it seems you are having way to many bets to get to a profit.

I’ll be doing three 40’s and an 80……200 Quid a week or 10,800 pounds a year……if thing go well I will double my stakes after 6 months. lotta fun and hopefully profit as well.

Sean and Cavelino,

I wasn’t going to put anything else onto this thread, but your posts exactly echo my sentiments.

Ginger has done his best with the best of intentions and the rest have said their pieces.

"……….just addicted to Timeform and been a subscriber since the 80’s. Their products, particularly the Perspective are outstanding. Unfortunately, I believe they only take students straight from uni……….."

This used to be true Ginger, their advert read something along the lines of…….." only young graduates need apply".

But they have been ‘bought out’ by Betfair and they no longer have that statement on their job page.

There are probably forumites who are more aware of the situation than I but I would think that there would be no harm in you applying.

I was going to say something scurrilous along the lines that it would help you in your application if you weren’t necessarily hetero-sexual but that is only hearsay and might even be slanderous, so I’d better not.
