Hi,

I have a total of 10% invested in Football bets today and these will either lift my bank after my recent losses due to so called 'professional' advice or I'll be back to square one! I don't know why I bothered taking the advice of the 'pro', I just got tempted by the sales literature blurb and I'm afraid I should know better, especially as I have my own highly effective little system. When you have your own system it is extremely satisfying to be able to find good prospects for success on your own, and I'll be sticking with this for my horseracing bets from now on.

I am making a cautious 1% PLACE bet today on a horse at 5/1. The 2.55 at LINGFIELD is an interesting little handicap and Number 5 SPINNING RIDGE at 5/1 second favourite has recently hit form and has good prospects of getting a PLACE, if not winning the race. I got 2.33 for the Place odds and I am happier playing for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and have a greater probability of success than with a straight Win bet. I could back it Each Way of course but then if it just finishes second or third I wouldn't get any benefit as the losing Win element snaffles the Place winnings.You pays your money and takes your choice as they say.

Some great Rugby to look forward to this afternoon. Can England get the 'Grand Slam'? Hope so!
