ANZAC Day - Lest we forget

Morning All,

Very important day here in Australia today, the day we remember those that have fought for our freedom - we thank them with all our hearts, lest we forget.

Nice win by Jessicabeel in the Sydney Cup yesterday - shame I couldn't unload, she is pretty smart and even though it's a big step up to the Melbourne Spring carnival I predict she will be playing a part.

The other great result yesterday was Hot Danish finally cracking it for a Group 1 win in the All Aged stakes - she's a great mare who really deserved that honour, well done to all concerned.

Swannies had another good win :) - but in a round that looked straight forward with no favourite longer than $1.30 or so there's already been 2 upsets. There is money to be made betting on football, but it's not as easy as we might all think.

This old computer is definitely on it's last legs - another reformat last night :( I'm just hoping it keeps me going until the move - hopefully in a month or so, I'll work something out after that - it's probably time to get a laptop. Hopefully I'll get things rolling and be able to afford one before too long.

Have a great day All - GO THE RAIDERS!!!

It's all getting closer

Hey All,

Looks like my move might be coming forward to the start of June rather then the start of July - fingers crossed, the sooner the change happens the better. It's definitely time for a fresh start so BRING IT ON I say.

The other thing that's getting closer is SCOOP - it's almost time for the cards to be dealt. I won an $11 ticket back in January that is just waiting to be played, by doing the the blog thing I should be able to pick up a $22 ticket to go with it and there is a $109 ticket up for grabs as well, although my blog will way too boring to win that!!!

Either way - today is the day for phases 3 and 4

So click on these two links and off you go

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Phase 3 is How to Play 8 Game Mix

I'd better watch that and learn myself, could come in handy :)

and Phase 4 is How to Play Badugi

I've played it once before - it's different but pretty entertaining - check it out.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Only 1 phase to go :)

My Pokerstars account was down to 1 cent this morning but luckily i had 15 FPP and risking 10 of those managed to place 57 out of 3491 players winning 80 cents :)

Doesn't sound like much but hey, it's a wet old day here in Canberra and that'll buy me into a few very low buy ins to help pass the time. PLUS tells me I'm not in too bad form leading into SCOOP :)

Sydney Cup Day today - I won't be having a bet but if I was Jessicabeel each way looks a cracking chance

Have a great day All - GO THE SWANNIES

Day 7 results - time for another spell

Hey All,

Another losing day to finish the first week. Overall everything is behind now and after having looked at the results the realisation has hit that I'm just not ready yet - I need more tweaking but more importantly more data. So it's time for another spell before whacking in next season once I'm living in Melbourne and have refocussed my punting.

I'll still post now and then, just not the ratings - well not yet, I don't have enough data and there are a couple of factors missing that I need to work out how to build in. I thought I would get away without adding them but having looked at this weeks results, and those from last year I know I can't. I'll get there before too long on though :)

Ok the results

Day 3 - Results

Hey All,

I was walking to work today thinking to myself - how did a 250ish % profit turn into a 25ish % profit when I didn't even totally wipe out - didn't take long to realise I'd stuffed up my results. They have now been updated, sorry about that.

Well there you go

Hey All,

Had a bit of a read back over some old posts earlier this afternoon - looks like things are just like they used to be with the ratings, quinellas and exactas the way to make money.

Here's todays results - once again using NSW Tab dividends

Race 6

5 WANGANESE $2.2 - Unp
7 DIXIE DOLL $7.9 - L/Scr
2 BOTTLER RED $10.1 - Unp
8 JOYBOY $12.5 - 3rd $1.80
4 SIVADIO $15.2 - Won $5.30 / $2

Quinella (Q) -$6, Exacta (E) -$12 Trifecta (T) -$24

Race 7

10 ST IVES (NZ) $2.2 - Unp
2 HAWKS BAY $8.9 - Won $5.30 / $1.90
4 TESTA JESTA $10.8 - Unp
9 RONALD JOHN $13.7 - 2nd $7.30
6 ESCAPE ARTIST $15.3 - Unp

Q +$96.30 E +$219.20 T -$60

Race 8

13 EXCEED US $2.2 - 2nd $2.30
8 REGULAR AUSSIE $9.9 - Won $6.30 / $2.10
6 ISSUS $10.5 - Unp
10 BARTONELLE $15.9 - Unp
3 LUCKY SIX $20.0 - Unp

Q +$9.70 E +$20.40 T -$60

Race 9

2 HOMELANDER $2.0 - Unp
1 PROSPECT $6.5 - Unp
7 READY TO PLEASE $18.2 - Unp
13 SNAKEY PRINCESS $23.3 - 2nd $4.70
6 HILLBILLY DANCER $23.9 - Unp

Q -$10 E -$20 T -$60

Quaddie -$625 (if Snakey Princess wins the last it pays over $10k!!!)

Overall Q +$90 (225% POT) E +$207.60 (259% POT) T -$204 (100% LOT)

Quaddie -$625 (100% LOT)

So there it is - quinellas and exactas both kick butt, wipe outs everywhere else. I've put the trifectas and quaddie in for interest but based on last years trial the quinellas and exactas, and more specfically the exactas are the ones to play.

Another that I've thought up to be looked at is to lay the shortest priced runner that doesn't make my top 5 - here's the results for today

Race 6 - Lay Devil Rider $4.30 Unp
Race 7 - Lay Ajhar $4.20 Unp
Race 8 - Lay Jewel of Johar $7.60 Unp
Race 9 - Lay Thrillionaire $5.90 3rd

Prices are the lay price taken from the Betfair Advantage Tool - so 4 for 4 to start off :)

Day 1 done and dusted, definitely enough to make me want to come back tomorrow and see how things progress.

Until then, have fun All :)

Twitter

Back Again

I've decided to tweet (is that the right word?) as well - hoping to get a few more people passing by.

User name there is - tnsprofpunter

Follow away :)

Cheers

I'm back - well sort of

Hey All,

It's been a pretty ordinary 6 months in terms of the punt - I lost the plot, I lost focus and most of all I lost money. So the time has come to turn things around again, do more work and get it right.

It's funny how little things come together and make things feel right - that's what's happened the last few days. First up I was chatting with a lady at work that I'd talked to about my ratings previously - she mentioned bringing them back. On the way out the door I bump into another guy from the IT area I worked in for a while, he asked how my racing was going. Friday night I get home from work and find I can get a free 60 day trial of Office 2007 - WAHOO - and early Saturday morning I dream I'm doing my ratings again. Yeah I know, probably just all coincidence but hey, maybe it's actually fate, a sign - do the work - get the results. We'll find out soon enough either way.

So yesterday, 10-4-10 (nice sense of balance in that date) I got started on trying to work out how Excel 2007 works and how I can use a database without the tools I lost when I had to reformat my computer. It took a bit of doing but I think I have it working again. I sure am glad I emailed myself (to an external account) copies of my spreadsheets and database so that I didn't have to start from scratch - I don't think I could've done that.

Anyways - I rated 4 races from Flemington for 2 on top winners, they were short but I had them shorter so even with the limited work I saw the results can come. From there, I thought about what to do and realised that I need to specialise and based on the very high probability that I'll be back in Melbourne from July, that's what I've decided to specialise on. So during the weeks I'll try and rate the quaddie legs (last 4 races on the card) from the feature Victorian meeting each day. Saturdays I'll rate most of the card - no jumps races though.

So today's venue - Wangaratta. Cranbourne would normally have qualified but there was less depth in the fields and the heavy track put me off. I won't always be able to post my selections on here but hey, you've come along for the ride this far and I don't actually have a bank to bet with :( so I might as well put the selections out there for someone to use if they want. So here they are, top 5 rated for each of the last 4 races this afternoon

Strange that my favourites all came out around the same price, that will change as the data builds. Hopefully there are a few winners amongst that lot.

Payday Thursday, I can't afford to put much towards the punt but I will slide something over to get me started. Until then, it will be a case of watching the results and learning from them - a tweak here, a tweak there until the results hopefully start to flow :)

It's great to be back, well sort of

All the best

p.s. lucky I'm not betting on the footballs this week - upsets everywhere!!! Well done Swannies though, it's looking like being a good season :)
