Good morning all,

Pricewise took a look at the Arc in the week and came up with Loxley as their pick, but having had a look myself yesterday there's a different one I have in mind, and I'm having a bit on this morning.

That, plus one from the watching list that I fancy quite strongly at Wolverhampton tonight, are on the main piece. Read More »Arc Ante-Post Bet

Good morning all,

Long faces all round this morning as England sadly fall at the second-last, but it's been a great run and they've restored some much-needed pride in the side.

Let's try and find a big-priced winner at Newmarket to cheer us up. It's on the TV this afternoon, so I've looked at three races and come up with a couple to try and ease the pain. The main selection today is a 50-1 this morning (66s in a couple of places) – to fins out what it is, have a read of the main piece.Read More »Newmarket – Ladies Day

Good morning all,

I was in a bookmakers in Central London yesterday when I watched a guy trying to pull the wool over a cashier's eyes with cashback – paying for bets on his card but wanting the winnings paid in cash, and wanting cashback as well! Kept kicking off and was eventually told he couldn't have a bet!

These days tricks like that are tried in order to get one over the bookies, but back in the day the slow count was part of the conman's armoury, and I remember the day someone tried it on me very well. That, plus one from Warwick, on the main piece.Read More »The Slow Counter….

Good morning all,

Twitter has once again come alight with the old “is there such a thing as value?” argument after one or two Tweeters basically said that it's only value if they win.

Whilst it's true that getting value doesn't put bread on the table, there's surely a counter argument to that, which is one I try to make (again) on the main piece today.

Plus one from Market Rasen that should be a bit fitter than he was when I saw him at Southwell last time out. Read More »Value – Is It A Myth?
