Morning All,
Lucky I choose Sydney for the ratings challenge as the only value winner I found was in the last race there. So a loss for the day but luckily a small profit in Sydney to close the gap in the ratings challenge, I'll post the scores once they are confirmed.
It's frustrating not getting consistent results but I guess that's typical of punting - I'll push on and see where I'm at when the season winds up on 31 July
So just the 1 winner
Noble Edict rated @ $6.80 paid $18.10
Overall for yesterday
Out - $436
In - $265
Loss - $171
Quinella Loss $80
Exacta - Loss $160
Trifecta - Loss $480
Melbourne Only
Out - $206
In - $0
Loss - $206
Quinella loss $40
Exacta Loss $80
Trifecta Loss $240
Overall
Out - $7537
In - $6924
Loss - $613 (LOT 8.13%)
Quinella Profit $236 (POT 17.24%)
Exacta Profit $566 (POT 20.67%)
Trifecta Loss $2725 (LOT 33.15%
Overall Melbourne Only
Out - $4657
In - $4628
Loss - $29 (LOT 0.62%)
Quinella Profit $271 (POT 32.31%)
Exacta Profit $413 (POT 24.55%)
Trifecta Profit $455 (POT 9.02%)
So still some black figures + still worked out on NSW Tab prices so probably +5% or so if I can get the best odds available.
Swannies got beat with The Dockers being more desperate, a loss that could prove crucial later in the year :(
Raiders play today here in Canberra where it's very chilly, chilly enough for them to be good things I think :)
Yum Cha at noon so I best get ready
Have a great day All :)
A mug punter's attempt to turn things around - watch and learn (or maybe just point and laugh) as I have a crack at moving from being - the not so professional punter - through - the semi professional punter and finally to - the professional punter - Well hopefully :)

Ratings Challenge Update
Morning All,
Just a quick update with the scores from the Ausrace Ratings Challenge - a good week for me and a bad week for the leader means that I've closed the gap a little. There's 9 weeks to go so plenty of time to catch him BUT he is still the one to beat - definitely not a two horse race though.
Ladder
Len $859.62
Me $407.85
John L $293.49
John D -$146.90
Ken -$186.42
Cabbie -$856.62
Have a great day All

Racing rules - footy flops
Morning All,
Not too bad a day yesterday with a couple of good value winners from the 8 rated races and also a very nice quinella / exacta. Footy was a flop though with only one correct and more thinking to be done.
Yesterdays winners were
Rampant Lion at $24.60 rated at $7.30
and
Russeting at $10.40 rated at $7.90
And the figures - just overall as I didn't rate Melbourne (sorry again)
Out - $468
In - $644
Profit - $176 (POT 37.60%)
Quinella - Profit $279
Exacta - Profit $704
Trifecta - Loss $480
Overall
Out - $7101
In - $6659
Loss - $442 (LOT 6.23%)
Quinella - Profit $316 (POT 24.51%)
Exacta - Profit $726 (POT 28.16%)
Trifecta - Loss $2245 (LOT 29.01%)
So still losing overall but closed the gap a little and the quinellas and exactas are still going great.
Luckily both those winners were part of the ratings challenge, I'll post the update on it as soon as it's official.
Footy wise, well done Swannies - I should've backed them instead, they definitely have it all over Carlton. Alas, I picked the Hawks who lost to Port and the Lions who got beat by the Pies, both major upsets. My only winner in the AFL was the Cats who look very hard to beat at the moment. In the league, the Titans beat the Raiders by 6, I needed 8.5 and the Knights rolled the Dragons who led them and got run down.
Definitely need to rethink the footy bets.
Ok, better get some stuff done. Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Time for a little go at the footy
Morning All,
With both the rugby league and Aussie rules seasons well underway now and the form starting to take a bit better shape I've decided to have a little bet. That's all it is though, just an interest bet in the hope of a result and the start of a bank being built.
I've gone a multiple that'll be all done after Saturday night so that I can hopefully reinvest the winnings on Sunday. So the bet, a Super Yankee - 5 legs made up of 10 doubles, 10 trebles, 5 quartets and one 5 play - $26 outlay for 1 unit, any 2 winners get me a collect all 5 would turn my $26 into $172 or so.
I've gone with
Lions -10.5 vs Magpies
Hawks -23 vs Power
Cats -22 vs Crows
In the Aussie rules
Titans -8.5 vs Raiders (sorry Raiders)
Dragons -6 vs Knights
In the League
Fingers crossed for a collect.
Tomorrows ratings challenge is on Eagle Farm in Brisbane so away from my usual tracks again - will be interesting to see how I go.
Have a great day All, back tomorrow.

From the best day to the worst :(
Hey All,
Well that was a bit of a disaster - the ratings just couldn't get going yesterday. There a few that won that I had unders and a few that just missed at good odds running seconds and thirds. It's all very frustrating but hopefully it'll work out ok in the end.
Here's the results - just the 3 winners from 21 races :(
Oakbank Race 5 - Our Scene @ $3.10 (rated $3)
Caulfield Race 7 - Happy Glen @ $6.90 (rated $5.50)
Randwick Race 9 - Miss Darcy @ $5.50 (rated $3.10)
Yesterday Overall
Out - $1169
In - $402
Loss - $766
Quinella - Loss $144
Exacta - Loss $294
Trifecta - Loss $1195
Yesterday Melbourne Only
Out - $462
In - $125
Loss - $338
Quinella - Loss $56
Exacta - Loss $120
Trifecta - Loss $355
Overall
Out - $6633
In - $6015
Loss - $618 (LOT 9.32%)
Quinella - Profit $37 (POT 3.07%)
Exacta - Profit $22 (POT 0.93%)
Trifecta - Loss $1765 (LOT 24.31%)
Overall - Melbourne Only
Out - $4451
In - $4628
Profit - $177 (POT 3.98%)
Quinella - Profit $271 (33.93%)
Exacta - Profit $413 (POT 25.78%)
Trifecta - Profit $695 (POT 14.47%)
So there's still some black figures about which is a good thing. Luckily I won't have to rate Oakbank again, even though I did find the one winner in the race I didn't have to rate!!! My ratings should work on all tracks but were designed for Melbourne so that probably explains why they are doing better for now.
With the ratings challenge - wipeout for me :(
A few of the others managed a win thanks to finding the $30 winner in the last. Here's the table with 2 weeks down and 10 to go.
Len + $870.34
John L + $276.30
Me + $187.66
John D - $156.04
Ken - $431.51
Cabbie - $511.24
Long way to go but Len is clearly the one to beat - fingers crossed for a few good weeks
Raiders got a win last night, well done guys - Swans were terrible in the wet the same as usual, it's going to be a long year.
Big day of racing next Saturday with the Doncaster and the AJC Oaks, will be a ripper.
Have a great week All

Lots of good racing today and plenty of work still to do. So far I've rated the 4 races at Oakbank for the ratings challenge (plus race 5 by mistake) and the card at Randwick. I've still got 7 races to do from Caulfield, I won't rate the first as it's a 2yo - they will hopefully be done by before race 2 jumps.

Week one of the Ausrace Ratings Challenge
Hey All,
Just wanted to drop in and update the scores for week 1 of the ratings challenge
Len +586.27
> Womble +435.64
> Whispering Cabbie +189.18
> John +54.51
> Ken -49.58
> John -359.20
So I'm off to a decent start :)
Will be interesting this Saturday as it looks like we'll be tipping at Oakbank - it's normally a track only raced on for a massive Easter carnival of jumps and flat racing and is over in South Australia.
I'll have to do a bit of extra work!!!
Anyways, time for bed - have fun All
p.s. Well done Raiders :)

Oh what a day :)
Morning All,
Looks like I can put away my concerns over Sydney with yesterday proving the ratings work in both states with my best day yet :)
Here's a list of the winners and their prices, pretty impressive I'd suggest
In Sydney
PURPLE $3.8 - Won at $8
NEROLI $3.7 - Won at $6.70
FIUMICINO (NZ)$8.8 - Won at $24.10
In Melbourne
SERMON (1) $19.8 - Won at $24.50
HUXSSEN $4.5 - Won at $4.60
FITOUSSI $3.8 - Won at $16.30
So 6 value winners out of 12 rated races :)
Here's the rest of the figures
Yesterday Overall
Out - $767
In - $1319
Profit - $552
Quinella - $62 profit
Exacta - $223 profit
Trifecta - $554 loss :(
Yesterday Melbourne Only
Out - $436
In - $654
Profit - $218
Quinella - $5 loss
Exacta - $24 profit
Trifecta - $254 loss
Overall - all venues (100 races)
Out - $5464
In - $5613
Profit - $148 (POT 2.71%)
Quinella - $184 profit (POT 18.12%)
Exacta - $316 profit (POT 15.82%)
Trifecta - $570 loss (LOT 9.50%)
Overall - Melbourne only (73 races)
Out - $3989
In - $4503
Profit - $515 (POT 12.91%)
Quinella - $271 profit (POT 37.18%)
Exacta - $413 profit (POT 28.25%)
Trifecta - $1050 profit (POT 23.96%)
So there they are, a lovely set of figures - I hope they keep following that pattern!!!
I've hit 100 races overall now and am in profit so happy to continue, my next decision point will be at the end of April but chances are I'll continue to post these here until the end of the season - i.e. 30 June. Hopefully by then I'll be able to save a decent bank and start betting on them.
Fitoussi got me off to a great start in the ratings challenge - I'll post the results here once they are out.
Have a great week All :)
p.s. well done Swannies, go the Raiders
p.p.s I'm glad I'm not betting on the footy yet - plenty of upsets happening

Slipper Day - Part 2
Hey All,
Back again - here are the ratings for the Group 1's at Rosehill
Race 3
PURPLE $3.8
LOVE AND KISSES $4.2
GALLICA $8.3
ALLEZ WONDER $19.5
GLOWLAMP $23.0
Race 4
HOT DANISH $2.6
NEROLI $3.7
PORTILLO $15.6
CHAMPAGNE HARMONY $17.4
FORENSICS $21.2
Race 5
ZAVITE (NZ)$3.9
THESEO $5.3
MASTER O'REILLY (NZ)$8.4
FIUMICINO (NZ)$8.8
ROAD TO ROCK $9.0
(Viewed should probably be evens but this is what came out)
Race 6
WHOBEGOTYOU $3.6
ALL SILENT $4.1
BLACK PIRANHA $9.3
SARRERA $9.5
NORTHERN METEOR $21.4
Race 7
MELITO $7.1
INDIAN OCEAN $7.1
SO ANYWAY $7.1
REAL SAGA $8.8
WANTED $10.6
Race 7 is the Golden Slipper - a 2 yo dash that's been going 50 + years (I think). A lot of people hate it because they think 2yo's aren't ready for a race with so much pressure so early in their careers. They could be right because not many go on to bigger things but hey with $3.5 million for first you have to have a crack if you have one good enough.
Heavy track at Rosehill makes it difficult, especially with the babies but we'll see how we go.
Fingers crossed for a good day.
Have fun All
