b c  A true gentleman.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
