With RM junior arriving in early March I have decided not to take up any more of my time with keeping the blog and will revert back to the spreadsheets.

Its been fun keeping a record over the year but it is time consuming and I know with the arrival in March I am going to have no free time at all!

2010

2010-01-01T23:32:00.003Z

Bit of a disaster for the racing with the weather today..so I wasn't expecting to hit the new year with all guns blazing.

On top of that it was "visit the in laws day"...so I am only just in....and ready for a few beers!

A new tipster service has asked me to help proof their results on the blog, which I will do so from tomorrow onwards...as well as publish my 2009 figures.

Results from Today

Legends.........Loss of £255.00
Probandit.......Loss of £50.00

End of the year

2009-12-31T18:44:00.006Z

Sign off time for 2009. Will post up figures tomorrow when I am nursing my hangover.

Today saw the Legends and Probandits bets run well with no reward.

Have a good one tonight and we can look forward to a prosperous 2010.

Xmas update

2009-12-30T20:56:00.004Z

I think the new years resolution will be never to leave my blog so badly unattended again!

Its been a busy Xmas period personally and the betting has been up and down like a yo yo. Thankfully the last few days ended on a high with a 3 point win for the Legends today at 9/1. Chaninbar winning at Taunton. Also a good winner for Probandit today with Pegasus Again (7/1). Pity it was on minimum stakes.

Also had a bit of luck yesterday when I backed the Legends bet Joncol £150 ew instead of £150 to win in error. It finished 3rd. However I would have been kicking the dog if it had not placed!

Will double check the figures later to make sure I haven't made any errors. Back to normal updates tomorrow!

A Christmas gift from the Legends

2009-12-22T22:27:00.008Z

Like most Legends followers pain was felt as the first of today's bets, a 3 pointer, NightJar (9/4) finished down in 3rd. However it didn't take long for the pain to go as the next race produced a winner . Mr Funshine (19.93 win & 4.75 place on Betfair) won the 1.25 Southwell to leave me in good shape going into the xmas break.

In the same race Probandits' bet ThoughtsofStardom (4/1) was unlucky not to place, finishing 4th.

Equines' bet Jackie Kiely (9/1 to 13/2) lost by a neck in the 2.25 but we got the place money.

A busy Monday

2009-12-21T22:07:00.004Z

Got to the stage in work where I am in xmas mode now. Cannot be arsed doing anything...I just want off!

Managed a profit today with a nicely priced winner from Equine. L'Hirondelle (9/1 to 7/1) beat off Friday nights Equine winner, Seek The Fair Land, by short head to take the spoils at the 4.05 Kempton.

Not so good for the Legends though. Kingsgate Castle (100/30) might have saved the day if the horse had started better.

Nice recovery

2009-12-17T23:14:00.004Z

Really nice to report some solid profit on the week at last. Both the Legends and Probandit scored today. Two winners for the Legends including a 4 point bet. Pavillion Bleu (9/2 -4/1) and Topcroft (13/8 to 6/4) was the 4 pointer.

Single race covered by Probandit with Glen Lass winning at 9/4.

Legends...........Profit of £380.63

A winning day turns to a losing night

2009-12-16T22:45:00.005Z

Thought I had a bit of profit to report today after the Legends picked an early winner,Zazamix (SP 7/2) at Bangor. Their second bet Gentle Ranger 8/1 came damn close to making it a great day in the 2.35 Newbury.

Unfortunately Equine's evening bets put a dampener on the day. Two reasonable short price bets including a 4/6 favourite at Kempton failed to produce even a close thing. The Equine all weather season has certainly not shot out of the starting blocks.

So a little bit depressing after a couple of really solid months...but I am hopeful the quality of the services I follow will shine through.

Joy and pain

2009-12-15T21:16:00.003Z

Probandit provided the joy with Nickel Silver (SP 9/1) scoring in a 3 horse dutch in the 1.10 at Southwell.

Meanwhile the Legends provided the pain with 9 points lost on the day to continue a poor start to December. Colorus (9/2) in the same race that Probandit gambled in came closest..coming in 2nd.

Downward slope

2009-12-14T21:31:00.003Z

Could do with a nice profitable day to put a halt on the run I am on. No luck today with bets from Probandit and the Legends.

The Legends opted for a win bet on Home (9/1) and also staked it in a small double with Iguacu (5/2) in the previous race. The main bet finished in 3rd , while Iguacu finished well down in 7th.

Probandit also bet at Wolverhampton with two in the 4.20. The dreaded second and third place though with Bavarica (9/1) picking up some place money.

Week end update

2009-12-13T18:24:00.007Z

Updating for Saturday and Sunday below. Hasn't been the greatest last 8 or 9 days but nothing too serious. Decided not to continue with 4PA on Saturday morning. For the second time in a few weeks I didn't like the look of the bets (this time a 4/6 and a 2/7 double) so didn't bet on them (only one part of the double won anyhow). Opting out of bets tells me I'm not comfortable with the service...so therefore no point continuing.

Results from Sunday

Equine.........Profit of £193.75
Legends.......Loss of £100.00

Another shocker

2009-12-11T21:08:00.006Z

The day started well with a winner for the Legends with Weird Al (SP 11/4) winning the first at Cheltenham. However just like yesterday the lowest odds bet was the only winner of the day. Nothing from the next 6 bets.

Probandit started the day poorly with the loss of 2 points in the 12.30 at Southwell. Thankfully Thoughtsofstardom (3/1) in the 1.40 Southwell saved the day from a whitewash.

With the Probandit tip winning the 1.40 it meant that the Equine tip Desert Dust (13/2) in the same race didn't score. Hugh Taylor again caused damage to the price by tipping it earlier at 10/1.

Another big day tomorrow expected and again I can only hope the rollercoaster starts climbing again.

Lean spell

2009-12-10T22:31:00.004Z

Not the most enjoyable week so far with really only backwards progress since Saturday.

Today was fairly busy with 3 services having a bet.

Nothing from 4PA or Probandit, both on small stakes.

We did get a winner from the Legends with Kerada (5/2 SP) winning at Huntingdon. Unfortunately it was the lowest odds bet of the six on the day.

Expecting a busy weekend so hopefully I can get the week back on track.

A bit of a beating

2009-12-08T22:07:00.003Z

A 4 point and a 3 point bet came a cropper for the Legends today in the space of 30 minutes to set me up for a poor day. There was to be no saviour in the final bet of the day either.

Legends...........Loss of £450.00

Back to work

2009-12-07T19:53:00.003Z

After my weekend away it was back to the rat race.

Small Profit on the day with Probandit finding a winner, in a dutched race, with Young Dottie (9/1 to 8/1). I think it was available at 16/1 earlier in the day before Hugh Taylor tipped it.

The Legends managed a place from 2 races. Waahej (15/2 to 6/1) finishing 3rd at Wolverhampton.

Back to winning ways

2009-12-02T22:05:00.005Z

4PA had a rare midweek gamble at Fairyhouse and finally got the service going for me. Pandorama (5/1 - 4/1) was the winning bet with Sweeps Hill (9/2) finishing 4th in the previous race despite having the legend AP on board.

The Legends great form on the all weather continued tonight. Daddy's Gift (15/2 - 7-1) finished like a train to win the 8.50 Kempton. Mirage Dore (9/2) finished down in 6th in the early race at Catterick.

Probandit played at Lingfield also with a dutch on Mr Willis (13/8) and Quick Release (8/1). Mr Willis won the race for a small profit.

2009-11-30T21:29:00.004Z

Just 2 bets today..one from each service.

The Legends went for Zuwaar (5/2) at Wolverhampton which finished in a dead heat for 3rd, while in the previous race Probandit bet Bubbly Braveheart landed a place at 8/1.

Will update the monthly P&L later tonight and I think it has been another successful one.

Betfair Bonanza - Saturday review

2009-11-29T11:10:00.005Z

Once again Saturday's bets left me quaking in my boots. At 3.25 I was looking down the barrel of a heavy loss. It is probably because I have time to follow each bet at the weekend that causes the nervousness..during the week the bets are placed and i get on with my work.

However once again the Legends pulled off a major coup by tipping Beat the Boys in the 3.25 Newcastle (19.97 win and 5.50 place on Betfair). Earlier Fistral Beach (11/2) had run well for a 2nd, but when Pasco (9/2) was beaten into 2nd in the 2.05 Newbury after trading at as low as 1.1 or even lower I thought my luck was out for the day.

Probandit came close to a win with last weekends big winner Perlachy (11/4) only managing 2nd.

4Pa dropped another 2 points this weekend to leave me unconvinced about the service. I will soldier on with it however.

Results from Saturday

Legends.............Profit of £634.98
Probandit...........Loss of £100.00
4PA...................Loss of £100.00
