Racing Post

Is the Post worth buying again, I really meant to ask?

That will depend on what you want/use it for... What you disliked before - or are looking for now.

That being ?

Onlooker. Want to buy a racing paper as opposed to to a bookakers’ free sheet.

Unfortunately, there is no better racing paper. If like me you prefer to read the form and articles in a paper then you have to buy it despite the inflated price. If I feel I can't afford it then I shouldn't be betting.

Why would you buy it when all the form is online free?....I used to Buy it every Day for Years till the price got ridiculous.

As I said above " If like me you prefer to read the form and articles in a paper"
It is probably a generation thing but I still use the website for the more historical form.

I was like sparrow, I couldn't approach a race without looking at the form the way it is laid out in the RP. I use to subscribe to the online edition of the paper newspaper (if that makes sense) so I could still read it when I was abroad. But then 365 severly restricted me, the RP had a ridiculous price increase I think around April last year & I took a break from betting to concentrate on my business & cancelled my subscription. They asked why I had cancelled & I replied, told them about the price increase and until they got to grips with the issue of bookmakers not taking bets, I considered them poodle journalists for that industry and wouldn't be coming back. As it happens, those 3 things, 365, RP price increase, taking a break, has been the best thing that has ever happened to me betting wise as I have had to learn to adapt on here & I no longer use form at all to make my horse race selections. I buy the Post on a Saturday as there's a football column towards the back I like to read, and I like to have a very small football bet on a Saturday & watch Gillette Soccer Special, but nothing's changed racing wise in there.
