    Bloody hell VTC, are you still banging on…. unbelievable…. and well done, most would have folded their hands by now….
    Once again I just popped in on passing and wondered if the old ‘uns are stll active…. especially my nemesis that is “Ginge”…. no, not really, we had fun.
    I finished my foray on here when Billion passed a few years ago now, but I am still playing in “system” mode…. making good profits, but well advanced from what Billion and I were playing along with, although we did have some enjoyable moments with Aussie racing…. lol…
    I’ve tried AI, but that always posed more questions than answers and at present (and for the last few years) I have stuck with just two sites and I am floating on air, just steady profits and steady returns without looking for instant fortunes…. it is there guys, I can say that in all honesty… but as always, it’s hard work, nothing in this game is easy.
    Old “Ginge” used to say that “value” was everything, the problem with that approach is that “value” is elusive, it is like smoke. you think you have it mastered and you grab it, but just like smoke, it’s gone….. no Ginge, the greatest of respect, but “value is not the be all and end all, that is an easy “get out clause” because it can always be interpreted by whoever is spouting that Gospel…. honestly, it’s all bollox.
    For old times sake guys, pick your horses in whatever manner you want to, but have the sense to double check with other sources to see if that selection really stands a chance….
    There is far too much to write on this subject and it would take more time than I would be able to muster…. I am now 83 years old, still making a profit, but slowly wilting, it does start to get harder to find the time as you age…. this game is for the youngsters.
    I’m still playing at my age, that means I am still making profit, because the instant my account shows 3 losing months on the trot, then I am history….that is my farewell point.
    I dont post on a regular basis, I’m well past needing any boost to my ego…. but in passing by, I just needed to say that with the effort will come the reward…. I am still in the game and still making a profit…. the stakes are recuced cuz I don’t need the returns that I once did, but the money I make covers all the birthdays and Christmas’s that I have to pay for…. lol… no better off financially, but all “excesses” have been covered.

    I offer my apologies to all for leaving TRF for so long, but Billion was the only guy on the same path as me, when he went, I went with him.
    All the best to all you guys, it was a really tremendous place to be when Matron was in charge of all the sexual abuse that happened in Ward 7 at that time, my bum still remains tense at the thought, but I guess things have changed now, Matron has been rerimanded for his perversions and the tools of his trade have been confiscated…. I cannot remember ever seeing so many vibrators in one persons collection…. way to go Matron, you have more stamina that I….
    Good luck to you all…. perhaps we’ll still be around this time next year…. and if Matron and Ginge are still around, I wish them well.
    Keeop going VTC, I just cant really believe that this is still going after all these years…. bloody outstanding….

    Wow, great to see you back MrE, even if a fleeting visit

    Bloody good effort going strong at 83, well played, and good to see you keeping ahead. Good to see Bill getting a shout, he’s sorely missed on here, had many a great chat with him.

    Enjoyed that post, and agree, there’s not enough time to go over the many methods to use in making selections, but I feel that for the few methods I use, I try to stick to them. Not to say you can’t diversify now and then. I had a rare moment last week when I put up a bet, solely based on opposing the fav, a method I never take. Had to take on that Kateira, the worst odds on fav I’ve seen in a long time, no form in the book to suggest she should’ve been odds on. It paid off, but I won’t rush to repeat it, and I’ll stick to the tried and tested

    Thanks for the kind words about The Midnight Club. I take a bit of pride in it, so happy with it, and if you’d told me nearly fourteen years ago, that it would still be going hitting 2026, I’d have been highly cynical

    It’s been some ride, and some crazy crazy winners along the way, that thread total doesn’t really do it justice. Bet them sparingly now, but the benefit being, you really get to know them, with Midnight Lion this weekend being a prime example. No form last two, but I’ll still bet him lol.

    Great to hear from you, and always welcome in this thread

    All the best

    Fourteen Years VTC, and an old timer returns and writes an absolute gem of a post.
    Well played VTC and to MrE, I hope to have your stamina for the next twenty years. One of the best posts I have read on this forum.

    Thanks mate, I’d love to say it seems like yesterday, but it actually feels like a long time ago
