I have just finished updating the website and spreadsheet for the past month of October, a task I don’t find exciting at the best of times but it can be damn right painful when the results have been poor - And they have. It does help to reflect on past performance though which can help highlight any mistakes and show where things went wrong. I know that that some of the races we have bet in we have just had rotten luck, such as when Pertinent fell when in contention and booked for a place on the 13th of Oct. However luck evens out over time and therefore we must take the rough with the smooth. What the results clearly show is 6 “near misses” which finished 4th (I hate 4th) and also 4 “off the bar” 2nd places, if just one these had won the results would be a whole lot better. But perhaps the most eye-catching figure is the recent success percentage, that is the percentage of horses that place or win, this has dropped right off and for October was a mere 17%. Quite simply this is not good enough, and I’ll be looking very hard at getting this back to normal in the immediate future. This doesn’t mean that I will be making a knee-jerk reaction and changing my approach, I know my approach is sound. It may mean dealing with certain races differently though, as I feel the problem has stemmed from races in which there is a decent horse for us on paper but where there are simply too many others also with place possibilities. This may or may not mean fewer selections over the coming weeks; I cannot predict what races I will be looking at. I am happy that my membership has now “matured” to the stage where most of my members can accept that losing periods are unavoidable, and would like to thank all of you for having faith. As usual I cannot say when the next winner will be but only that I remain focused and confident of future profits.

As a side note, the weather which had played a big part in messing up the summer racing with all the rain, is now not playing ball at the time of year it should be raining! This has meant the horses that prefer cut in the ground haven’t been out yet and resulted in small fields and fewer opportunities for us. We all know it will rain though so no worries there!

On to other news, we have picked a nice couple of winners the last couple of weekends with the additional sports recommendations with both the Boxing bets on Joe Calzaghe and David Haye winning impressively. My other horse racing interest - the short priced place selections, have been ticking along since the last update in September without making any massive gains, the profits have been up and down but are currently over £1000 up since I started them. I’m still quite excited about the longer term potential of them and will be looking to evaluate them at the turn of the year. If you wan to follow them you can do so via the forum thread in which I post them (see my previous Blog post).

I will have some other betting systems updates for you soon but enough of my ramblings for now!
