whilst I appreciate this is all a bit of a laugh, are any of you concerned that threads like this could end up costing a man his job. I'm well aware of the argument that if you are a tipster you live and die by your selections and they haven't been going at all well but it takes a long time in racing for anyone to lose their job but could this reduce the timescale by bringing attention to it. I don't know the guy but I'm guessing he has a wife and kids to feed. It is all rather amusing but it seems a bit unfair to put the boot in too much on Birchy when many other newspaper tipsters aren't much better. Am i alone in thinking this?

If The Post are worried about this then they should do an article on losing runs, something that affects us all, yet the least talked about subject in racing. He's obviously having a bad time of it and Pricewise is another who has had some horrendous runs and yet it's all brushed under the carpet. I recently had a losing run of 24 in row myself (and I've had worse in the past) and how you deal with these runs, keep your composure and not chase is what separates the winners from the losers.

Report TommyBarnes March 28, 2017 4:27 PM BST
No, I dont feel one bit sorry for him.  In todays RFO he talks about last Saturday when he had £320 on a loser, followed by £320 e/w on an unplaced but our hero gets out of trouble with a £320 win at 7/2 on Ascot De Bruyere with 3.6.5.  He has a footie bet this week folks with 1 bag on Port Vale on Saturday. Vale are in the relegation zone so a win must be needed, Phil Taylor must be fuming.
Report asparagus March 28, 2017 4:43 PM BST
Barrowboy, that's not a fair comparison. In the restaurant example I would have spent lots of cash and had a miserable time. I'm not following Birchy's tips so it makes no difference to me. To be quite frank i would rather the tipsters in the Post be hopeless rather than good ones like Hugh Taylor who marks the bookies cards and collapses prices with no one being able to get on. I don't follow any tipsters, i trust my own opinion but good tipsters concern me much more than bad ones.
Report slickster March 28, 2017 5:14 PM BST
I see we have found a poor naive punter in nicko.  At least you only lost 2 quid son, but you need to learn quick. Don't do it again. Birch is rancidly hopeless, as today proved yet again.
I mean, how can a supposed "tipster" give 4 selections AND GET THEM ALL UNPLACED ffs?
This is not a one off, it's regular. He is however, paying my mortgage, as the cash cow keeps
churning out the dollars.
Cheers Birchy, you're the best Laugh
Report BARROWBOY March 28, 2017 5:36 PM BST
cheers asparagus,but i dont think its a bad comparison.just because you dont back his tips doesnt mean that others dont,im sure there are plenty that do with the inevitable losses.tbf birch has had a column in the RP (& RFO) for a good number of years & apart from his greyhound input which was ok his selections have invariably been useless,so i doubt millington would get rid just because of **** take thread on here after all this time.if you headline tips in the trade paper surely your fair game.
