All pretty frustrating really but hopefully I'll find a couple of winners to turn it around today. There are some good tipsters on the site that make me look very ordinary, the link is a the bottom of the page.

On a personal note, I'll try and build a bank today - went to Gundagai yesterday for Snake Gully Cup day to watch some horses go around but couldn't get a winner. Hopefully I'll have a better day today.

Trust everyone had a great week,

Best of luck on the punt.

p.s. well done to Joe Cada and his win in the WSOP, great effort for a 21 yo and for Darvin Moon for holiding on for second, gives us all hope :)

Moving in the right direction

Hey All,

5 tips today for 2 winners and a 3rd - not too bad at all and nearly puts me back in front at Punters Paradise, here's the results

Cranbourne 6 - 7 - Testa Rocketa Unplcd
Cranbourne 8 - 13 - Viva Dubai 3rd $2.10
Wimmera@Arar 2 - 6 - Devils Party Unplcd

Gotta be happy with that :)

I'll keep it going at 5 tips per day and see how I go

Cheers

Cup week - done and dusted

Afternoon All,

I had a pretty ordinary Cup week - couldn't find many winners and the ones I did find I couldn't make pay :(

There's always next year :)

I kind of worked out the link with Punters Paradise - see the bottom of the page. It's not the best place for it but it will do for now. I've decided to give it a bit of a crack and see how I go.

The plan - 5 tips per day at least 5 days per week and all for $5, with a profit guarantee.

Now I realise if I tip like yesterday no one will ever be interested BUT I'm confident I can turn that around and start showing a profit. I'll post my results here as well so you can keep track of them and see how I'm progressing.

Here's yesterdays results

07/11/09 Flemington 2 - 9 Absolute Star Unplcd
07/11/09 Flemington 6 - 10 Triple Honour Unplcd
07/11/09 Flemington 7 - 9 Estee Unplcd
07/11/09 Flemington 8 - 8 Hume Unplcd
07/11/09 Flemington 9 - 2 - El Mandon Unplcd

The site itself has plenty of good tipsters and is well worth checking out.

As to my own betting, I have some more thinking to do - I'll reload my accounts a little next weekend and get back into it.

Have a great day

A couple for today

Morning All,

I still haven't heard back from King Tipping so can't post up the link as of yet :(

I've put 5 tips up there but I'll throw the best couple up here as well to see how they go

Both at Flemington

Race 7 - The Matriarch Stakes

Frustrating race as Soul Diva would've been here if she hadn't injured herself last start, she should be back at them for one last go in Brisbane next winter.

2000m mares race and not many have form at the distance - I'm plugging for Estee each way. 2 worries are the lack of form at the track, and the barrier but she comes in a couple with the scratchings. Has been running on well and has never missed a place in 3 starts at the 2000m - Should be double figure odds

Race 8 - Queen Elizabeth Stakes

I, and plenty of others, like Hume here - has the form line through the Melbourne Cup winner Shocking and all things being equal should win at around the $3.50 mark.

Best of luck if you're having a punt today

I'm still alive - but it's all over, for now

Hey All,

Sorry I haven't been on for a while - it's a bit of a long story but I guess I should tell it.

I was getting a bit frustrated with how it was all going when fate decided to step in - my old computer didn't want to start up one morning so I had to reformat my hard drive and lost everything that was on it - seems to be working ok again now, touch wood - I have back ups of my database and rating spreadsheet BUT I don't have a back up of Microsoft Office - so can't access them :(

Stupid on my part, but hey - everyone makes mistakes. I originally got a copy of Office from work when it was part of our license agreement, budget cuts have led to them dropping that offer so I have no way of getting it without buying it, and seeing as I'm skint again that won't happen for a while.

I've been betting the old way for the last couple of months, had a good run for a bit but the last couple of weeks have been horrid. So time for a change again - not sure what I'll go to but whatever it is will mean a lot less bets. I have got a couple of things in mind and will be back to let you know. I am still confident this can be done and I will do it - one day.

Funny thing is I'm actually still in front for the season thanks to the Big 6 that I hit - so guess I can't complain too much.

Anyways, that's where I'm at and why I haven't been posting. I'll be back before too long with my next approach. In the mean time I think I'll post some of my tips on the Punters Paradise / King Tipping site and see how I go. Check it out on the link I'll try and include, there's some very good tipsters there - I'll be tipping as Womble.

I'll leave it there for now,

Take care

p.s. I'm having some troubles with the link - have sent them an email and will hopefully be able to post it before tomorrow when I'll put some tips up.
