Richard Birch today

More to the point has the mug any concept of value.Backed the pricewise (advertised at 10/1) selection at 13/2 (rock bottom price) Away We Go on Saturday and had a wonderful conversation with his mummy...

The likes of this complete chancer get a gig at the Racing Post...

Where did it all go wrong....

Probably married to a sister of King Gravy Alan Lee

what kind of wage is he on?

Plastic surgery and non National Health glasses are beyond him but must be on a good salary...

i get rac post every day--weekender--rfo===racing plus--i go over every column b4 and after races---they are all cr-p----i bet on football big as well do the same--its a standing joke in our family we look at tots tips in the sun every saturday on football--dont think he has had a winning bet all season---i dont think these papers realise how  much people take notice---i like steve mellish on ruk but his column and record for tipping winners in rfo is awful

if you look at NAP competition papers most are in negative

Another complete pillock from the never ending roll of honour from The Racing Post very long list of guessers

His journalistic skills are poor to say the least,(writes like a excitable child),tipping is terrible.Horses laughable,his old Saturday column on football was awful how he gets a job as a tipster god only knows.As a reporter hes **** as well.

I'd take the cushy  job thou---wake up 11am---watch your picks melt into the background--take the flack---start writing again 7pm

TBF to Steve Mellish in particular his tips in RFO are put in well in advance.

i rate him as a pundit big time----just saying the tips in rfo cr-p

Pity he did not fall over the cliff top whilst walking

according to birchy in rfo his days are spent from first light til bedtime watching racing replays---obviously not working then

does he say if his eyes are open?

lol

is he top or bottom bunk bed ?

bf is on top

I think that you are being a wee bit harsh on the birchmeister

I always enjoy reading him.

The Racing Post, and its bookmaker business partners/owners are trying to create a perception that betting should not be seen as an activity where punters should have any expectations of winning.

They want to create a culture where punting and losing, but having 'entertainment' while doing so, is what punters should expect from the betting experience.

This is why Birch, Palmer, and the seemingly endless stream of woefully unprofitable 'experts', who do their money but have a story to tell, are now its poster boys, imo...

Millhouse has it pretty much spot on

very spot on in fact

add the couch to list

Them two got a bit of catching up before they reach down the the Couch's standards

They do put up fair priced losers

Millhouse - you could well be right there!

Never though about it that way.

millhouse - very very true , you are correct in your different thinking .

What gets me about Birch in th RFO is the fact he needs to tell you how much he bets --- 300 ew , 450 ew . 

Whats that all about ?

and Palmer put in his pre Masters column---if you are not looking for entertainment factor--on his advised bets---then just lump on USA winner at 13-8---he even got that wrong---milhouse you make a really good case

Case proven.If Birchy can get those amounts on with "Bookmakers" then he must be a massive loser.

Or because he writes for the Racing Post is he allowed to get such bets on.

Or Spooky..Does he put them on his mothers name....He has taken to mentioning her in his column.I bet she is a class act...

Love to know the truth of this character.Claims to be driving round in big Mercs,several holidays a year to the states.He aint funding it with his punting & cant be earning much of a salary with a paper with the posts circulation.

still doing well

He is £16+ up for the year. Last week £180 win on winner at 8/1 returned 5/1..
