I bumped into an old friend about three weeks ago at a wedding. Hadn't seen him for a couple of years. He has always backed the horses and had claimed to be very good at it but I never thought much about it. I told him what I was doing and how Betfair works etc. He told me that he backs at the bookies but not interested at all about anything online as hasn't a clue about computers and has no interest in it at all. He knows his horses and what was really interesting was when he told me how he makes his picks and the way he rules horses out. I asked him had he ever thought of picking good priced horses to lose and I was shocked to hear that he had never even thought about it so I asked him if we could keep in contact and that whenever he did his selections could he let me know the best horses that he was very confident would not have a chance. He didn't even have an email address so would call me but I have since sorted it out for him.
Today selections were
15:00 Wolverhampton MATAAJIR Win Price at the time of selections was 5.9 fav. Place Price 2.34
16:05 Wolverhampton TRIP SWITCH Win Price at the time of selection was 4.2 fav. Place Price 1.89
Both short prices and unplaced.
Now I know nothing about horses apart from the fact they have four legs and make lots of mess that I have to avoid on approach to QPR! He tells me the major contributor to his selections is the going and that he does his selections early in the morning but often changes them if the going changes and doesn't submit his bets until later in the day. He has been sending me a few selections a day from the last 30 days and there have been just five occasions where the horse has won the race and prices have been under 5's. What I find really interesting is that in most of the selections the horse has not even been in contention with 2 to 3 furlongs to go. They often disappear in the back straight. It has certainly been profitable for me.
So I thought it would be interesting to put the selections up on my blog at

Perhaps it does read a bit spammy so I apologise but it wasn't meant to be. The the results are very good for the starting prices. Nobody moaned at Maria when she made her dosh doing the same thing. If you want I will put the selections up here. If I do at least you might make a few quid. Anyone can lay at big prices where one win wipes out everything but in the main the prices are reasonable.
