Excellent Cheltenham with 3 very nice winners final day. A total of 21 betting races for 10 winners overall. Very happy with that.

A great Tuesday?
From your 7 top-rateds, you found 1 winner, at 4/6. From your total of 21 horses (3 per race), you found 4 winners, at 2/1, 4/6, 4/5 and 8/1. How is that great? You completely missed The Druid's Nephew, which was generally regarded as the handicap good thing of the day. |

"still nicely up on the meeting"
Not if you actually work out the figures. Your top-rated showed a small profit on Weds (2.12), but losses of -7 and -5.33 on Thurs and Tues. Taking your top 3 (Tues) and your top 4 (Weds and Thurs) - and allowing you Call The Cops, which you never put up, you showed a loss every day: -5.53 on Tues, -12.87 on Weds, and -11.5 on Thurs. So unless you have a magic staking plan that enables you to stake much bigger on your winners than on your losers, you're talng sh!te. |

Apolgies, top-rated showed a loss of only -6 on Thurs - there were only 6 races.

What a load of nonsense - posted by the OP
He gives the second-highest Officially rated (174) Chaser in the land - Silviniano a 'level weights' rating of 115. Yet awards the 4-yr-old Peace and Co (Officially rated 19 lb LESS at 155) a 'level weights' (not including a theoretical 8lb weight-for-age) a rating of 118 ... 3lbs MORE than Silviniaco. These are nowhere near being pure ratings. Just something he has dreamt up - probably using basic ideology like adding up previous Form figures etc, and all that kind of simplistic approach. |

Hi guys many thanks for your replies. First of all I never bet single horses at a meeting like Cheltenham,if prices allow I try to back up to 4.I use proportional staking,work my stakes out as close to SP as I can get and back at Betfair SP. I don't bet in races with an odds on favourite, in the Cross Country or Bumper. The other race I didn't bet in was the RSA were I strongly fancied Son Poli. Therefore there were 21 remaining races giving 2 top rated,3 second top rated 1 third top and 4 fourth top rated winners.

That should have read Don Poli of course sorry about that I am working on my hudl.
To onlooker I would just say that my nonsense enabled me to make over £800 profit at the meeting, and a healthy profit every year. |
