Its the business brain on him and what with me being a yuppie and all that..

You keep going the way you are CT and Hewer's business brain will be telling him to buy shares in you!

I make one up, bears no resemblance to the other one's so I don't know why I bother sometimes

What's the price per share at floatation?!

My strategy doesn't require a personal tissue , it'd be a waste of my time that's better served studying something far more influential.



Good luck guys   

^^^^^^^^^dirty ew thieveing i m o.

All you need in this game Grim ( assuming it's you ? ) is a bit of software to save wasting time , good head for maths , market awareness and a developed strategy that will work for reasons you can identify , then it's a full time occupation for anyone that wants it.

Leave your form books in the last millennium and stop the recreational punts and you've cracked it.


Not looked on here much recently but presumably this is your latest forum name Grim ??????

It is mate.

Il give you a ring at the weekend.

np

All this high tec gear you av but no mobile phone

I sort a Hcp before I look at the betting.............is that the same ?

Don't need a mobile mate tbh , the syndicate are all on Skype 24/7 and not bothered if I don't speak to anyone else   

I aint got one............................in case some crunt phones me up!

Are you still on your lonesome grimmy?

Btw seaside,having seen your tips you should give up doing a tissue if they are any guide.Waste of time anyway these days as even the books take their tissue from here.hth

I do, just for  Group Racing.

Convert the ratings into prices

Example____

QE II	Rating		Price
Frankel	137.5		1.30
Excelebration	124.5		21
Immortal Verse	124		22
**** Turpin	124		22
Cityscape	122.5		29
Rio De La Plata	121		37
Dubawi Gold	118		64
Side Glance	114.5		126
Poet's Voice	114.5		126
Bullet Train	85		4000

mmm.....................are you 1/8th a place

win only

Surely there isn't anyone on here that believes "doing a tissue" is a useful experience in all but the very top class races ?

I only do the top class stuff, but if someone had the time to put the research in, it could be done for handicaps etc quite usefully IMO

With Group Racing only need to keep track of about 200 horses who don't run that often

tobermory

I may be way off the mark but your ratings/odds are very similar to the Russell Clarke/RPR/lbs off top rated method.

Looks as if you adjust the RPR in some way.

Good question and I go through a full box of tissues when my horse loses, its just so emotional

If you watch enough racing then they just stand out without tissue imo Marvada vs Up tonight a great example 1.5 vs 10. something unbelievable value. Sadly I went to the pub after work and didn't get home in time to take advantage, but my mates in the bookies texted me to say cheers for the tip! Scant consolation!

Yeah and I aint that p*ssed that I missed my double post sorry

Top2, don't know about that

I have made a table for converting the difference in rating to H2H Odds for each horse in the race

So Frankel 13 superior to Excelebration = 1.056 to beat him, and of course shorter odds to beat the rest, which added up to 1.30.

What you mention maybe more sophisticated. The actual ratings are my own opinion.

BTW the example of that race was a bit flattering, as Frankel would have been the bet because i think he was 2/5 . I made plenty of books last year that would look silly in hindsight, so i'm not claiming to be doing great . I think this is a good method for ascertaining Value though and just beed to be more accurate with the ratings which should come with time . Mever had a proper go through a season before but intend to do so this year.

Of course many compiling their own odds will just do it intuitively, without handicapping . Thats ok but i just think you get more consistency this way, and less influenced by what pundits are saying on the day.

Jack Pinder,Jack The Judge,done the tissue on course for years.

Jack The Judge?I know quite a lot of them called him Jack The Bookie Killer.

few used last night when trap 1 went for a fight

Doing tissues is a mug's game. All you need to do is analyze the race in 30 seconds before the off.
