Be much easier if everyone used a pic or an image. The only way i can remember or
work out if they have a clew or not, or if it's worth reading their posts.

When I first arrived about 6 and a half years ago the most prominent forumites ( apart from Bush who was a temporary phenomonem ) were Warwick and then probably jonjo and infomaniac. They were all posting occasionally until recently when I believe Warwick finally got completely banned ( at one time he had about 10 usernames mostly variants ). They all rather ran out of steam 3 or 4 years ago though. I'm still not sure who ppking was so can't include him,though he was posting under the ppking name as well as others (allegedly).
I suppose if a newbie could get on now he/she would say Delta,DICKIE and Skinto.

you should seek on this thread salmon, you would be amazed who you'll find
I am sort of aware of that elise. I know info has been around but some others I have never worked out.
The gruffalo is not on now as far as I know and his rather...er...aggressive style is unmistakable imo. He had several names after that though.
oneten was a decent chap.... very into PtP as I re-call .
therobster was pure class.. He worked full time and still had a very successful thread..
Alain Charnier is greatly missed.Sad
yes i agree, i loved his alter ego that was a swiss fine art dealer.....
, very funny at times...

He quite often posted as ppking & BigNoseDave on the same thread ripping the p!ss out of aceform.....
'fezant & Krug tonight Dave' as one of aceforms banker's bit the dust !

A sad day when a thread of this ilk can reach 52 posts, without one mention of the great Janov ... a legend in his own time, and to this day he finest poster that he forum has ever seem ...I admit I am going back a bit ...
Before my time A D, but when I joined he had achieved a great reputation as a poster .
Janov's "Shocking Beast" folder is now in the British Library.
Shooting for the moon here, but is it remotely possible that anybody has a screenshot saved of the old forum ? ...and by "old" I mean the forum as it was back in 2002, with all the red ... (no blue back in them days).
The blue came in after the first forum format change IIRC (maybe 2003 or 2004), and caused outrage and mutiny in the ranks. I think Janov never posted to the forum again after the first format change, although ppking continued to entertain us all for a long time afterwards. ppking v Aceform ...legendary stuff.
If anybody does in fact have a screenshot saved of the forum as was back in 2002 I would love to see it, but I don't hold out any great hopes.

The Great Saldato I think it was..good auld chuckle from his posts same with Alain Charnier.
Gorgeous George on the Bloodstock was a very interesting read, unfortunately I think he has passed away.

Sorry to hear about Gorgeous George. He and I disagreed about just about everything on Bloodstock and Breeding but he was courteous ( mostly ) and quite witty. Knew he had disappeared some time ago but I didn't realise why. 
Clutchingatstraws,Platinum and Monte for me - 3 of the best layers I've seen in here.
Knight Commander..platinum does a blog on here..very very good he is
Anybody remember Pompey mike & his dog tips from our bruv ?.....
Thanks sofiakenny I'll have a look for that later
NGB and his many subsequent forum names are also a sad loss, together with ppk and his entire army of aliases. The latter was something of a character actor, with any number of well-drawn creations on his CV.
I remember Pompey quite well Halcyon
had him on my list with

stephaniebot ...I had forgotten about him/her. He/she posted for ages and had everybody convinced he/she was a woman, until somebody unmasked him /her as a crossdresser called Steve.
Does DOOWADIDDY (sp?) still post on the forum ? I always had a sneaking suspicion that he might have been one of ppking's more outlandish creations ...

Diddy is on Chit Chat quite regularly, and PPK once assured me that he wasn't him.
Happy Hibby used to post some interesting threads;
'All turf tracks should be turned into AW tracks to stop the inaccurate going reports!'

fond memories of driving to finchley central from Muswell Hill to get the newly printed sporting life at 1 in the morning.
always thought NO GOOD BOYO ...was a pompous pillock .......BOBBY STOKES ...gave him whatfor !
last time I spoke to atavus he was helping children in Africa.

Where are all these people? Its like a whole population has died.
Bogsnorkler would like to post under that name as there was some pride in having being a 'joined Oct2000' but they amalgamated him and his nom de plumes into one. He never had much of interest to offer mind you.

Gamble was the best poster these boards ever saw, that is a no brainer.

Stephard is currently doing a "4 Stretch in HMP" for Conspiracy to Defraud in a betting scam.
I always liked fawwon, a loss to the forum that he doesn't post anymore.
G e Slippy... has the young barmaid been forth coming ! ?....
Ms. Hennie Pedget - not many been here long enough to remember
We went out last week hd, she drank 4 pints of Guinness in just over an hour and is a skinny thing 
Not a dollar in her pocket of course and ate a bag of crisps and a bag of dry roasted peanuts as well for good measure bless her 
She wants a sugar daddy, I just want a roll in the hay. Watch this space .....

If I remember correctly, I think Bold Pilot got banned for being one of the first to notice Fergal Lynch's 'riding style'......
Ivor ( Ifor) the Welsh Prof;... very dry sense of humour imvho .
Reynard is another loss to the forum, albeit his ratings weren't the best unless you payed for his platinum service...
Hope the bad time he went through is well behind him now.

he still posts hd - often in chit chat and also had a little system thread going on HR a few weeks back - alas like all his [pre race] posted material showed a loss...
Good morning Delta,
very few show a profit when they post pre race !
very few show a profit when they post pre race !
shrubbery had a famous fight with Ivor over the lack of success of Ivor's lays. I was in touch with him for a while and he was banned soon after for something else. He wrote a rather inspired letter to Bf effectively burning his bridges with them and went purple completely. Not sure about chit-chat but Ivor is a regular poster on politics where he is the token Welsh Tory.
Should be fun at the betfair reunion party this weekend. Can't believe they are hosting it there, but not complaining!
Just dredged this thread up when doing a search for Miss Hennie Pedget!
She was the definitely the best tipster I've seen in close on 16 years of being here.
Did a whole year of posting in three different systems and made a big profit on all of them.
Multiple place laying (usually two and sometimes as many as four per race!) was her most reliable method.
She was also very good at win betting.
Can't remeber what the third system was - may have been win laying.
I have a summary of her stuff on a pen drive somewhere in the house.....really ought to find it!
Steven The Trainbarn (who went off to set up his own tipping line I believe?) was the other really good one I remember.

All Hennie's tips went up in the morning and were available for all to see.

Just a reminder
All results are quoted at sp. However, the profit and loss figures are worked out with a percentage amount added to the sp. These amounts are at the top of each months P&L thread and will change from month to month. Commission is deducted at 5% per market not selection.
"I would say about 85-90% of the selections that I have put up on this thread have carried my money.
If the selection was scratched from my own personal bets it would have been for a reason eg Non runners in the race or the selection had gone way outside what I perceived as value. I invariably got it wrong but it would be fair to say that the view taken when deciding upon the 10-15% or so that were scratched favoured my own betting account rather than the P&L figures on here.
This is the reason that I have always stressed (perhaps not so much on this year's thread, than last) that my selections were not tips but just a portfolio of my own initial viewpoint that other people might have been interested in.
I never put a reasoning up, on how I came about my selections so I understand and expect a limited amount of interest.

Final Thoughts
A little bit of a bumpy ride over the last 3 months but thankfully I managed to turn a profit in the final month. Backs managed 4 losing months from the last 6 but still had the overall best ROI out of the 3 disciplines. Food for thought ??
Both lay disciplines were pretty consistent throughout the year with the Place Lays just having 1 small losing month. I'm pretty pleased with that as I was operating at about 17-18% above sp (surely I can improve on that !!).
Anyway onwards and upwards.
My last comment (that mistermind replied to) asking when can you tell if you've cracked it, was very much tongue in cheek. Punting for profit is very much a constant but ever changing battle and I won't be resting on my laurels. Part of the reason for retiring this thread from the forum is to concentrate on other methods of making profit. My own account in 2007 will be including Place Backs regularly and also a slightly different staking system.
I realise that my methods of many selections would put other people off straight the way and as I have mentioned before I was brought/dragged up on the ideology that selectivity was the key to successful punting. That might well have been the case 20 years ago, especially if you were privileged to be a good form judge or privy to info. However, the exchanges have created a different animal and I am convinced that turnover/spreading the risk can be used to the average Joe Public's advantage. Discipline, time spent, discipline, hard-work, discipline, luck, discipline, a little bit of knowledge and especially discipline are all key elements to making it work though.
Finally, thankyou very much to all those that have contributed, offered encouraging words or just had a quick look at the thread. You've made it all worthwhile and enjoyable.

Final Thoughts
A little bit of a bumpy ride over the last 3 months but thankfully I managed to turn a profit in the final month. Backs managed 4 losing months from the last 6 but still had the overall best ROI out of the 3 disciplines. Food for thought ??
Both lay disciplines were pretty consistent throughout the year with the Place Lays just having 1 small losing month. I'm pretty pleased with that as I was operating at about 17-18% above sp (surely I can improve on that !!).
Anyway onwards and upwards.
My last comment (that mistermind replied to) asking when can you tell if you've cracked it, was very much tongue in cheek. Punting for profit is very much a constant but ever changing battle and I won't be resting on my laurels. Part of the reason for retiring this thread from the forum is to concentrate on other methods of making profit. My own account in 2007 will be including Place Backs regularly and also a slightly different staking system.
I realise that my methods of many selections would put other people off straight the way and as I have mentioned before I was brought/dragged up on the ideology that selectivity was the key to successful punting. That might well have been the case 20 years ago, especially if you were privileged to be a good form judge or privy to info. However, the exchanges have created a different animal and I am convinced that turnover/spreading the risk can be used to the average Joe Public's advantage. Discipline, time spent, discipline, hard-work, discipline, luck, discipline, a little bit of knowledge and especially discipline are all key elements to making it work though.
Finally, thankyou very much to all those that have contributed, offered encouraging words or just had a quick look at the thread. You've made it all worthwhile and enjoyable.

Just a reminder
All results are quoted at sp. However, the profit and loss figures are worked out with a percentage amount added to the sp. These amounts are at the top of each months P&L thread and will change from month to month. Commission is deducted at 5% per market not selection.
"I would say about 85-90% of the selections that I have put up on this thread have carried my money.
If the selection was scratched from my own personal bets it would have been for a reason eg Non runners in the race or the selection had gone way outside what I perceived as value. I invariably got it wrong but it would be fair to say that the view taken when deciding upon the 10-15% or so that were scratched favoured my own betting account rather than the P&L figures on here.
This is the reason that I have always stressed (perhaps not so much on this year's thread, than last) that my selections were not tips but just a portfolio of my own initial viewpoint that other people might have been interested in.
I never put a reasoning up, on how I came about my selections so I understand and expect a limited amount of interest.
Ms Hennie Pedget 02 Jan 14:14
I'll put a few other figures up after racing has finished.

I don't care how you pick them MHP, it's the discipline that's most impressive. Very well done.
