Hello!
It is only sporting that if you are going to insult my picks (despite them showing a substantial flat-bet profit) that you get a thread of your own from which to reccomend strategies to others. I was merely doing a favour to those who asked. If you had bet every one I posted, you'd have done very well.... So... Here you go. Your very own platform.

Absolutley, I do not play every day though. I will be very happy to leave my tips on here and you are more than welcome to throw anything you like at them.
I will be picking win only.
Hollywood Race 8 - #4 The Skinny Man
Contested much better contests as a 2 yr old, shows a steady work pattern, really nothing in the race. M.L 2/1.
My only real concern is the jock!
Good luck all who follow...

Awesome....good luck. I will bet this blindly, which I NEVER do, because I have a very good feeling you will nail this one. :) Truly....the great thing about racing on Betfair is that it is possible for EVERYone to make a profit in the long run, even if we have a completely different views of every single race. Cheers!
Markey, it may surprise you to know that a couple of years ago I did run a succesful post on the U.S Horse Forum...
Back then, we had a highly successful group of U.S handicappers, it is too bad that a lot of the oldies seem to have vanished from the forum!
Time for the new brigade to pick up the slack, I have nothing personal against you, please be assured of that, I just feel that you leave yourself open when you call yourself an expert... I am sure that you are a nice chap.
Game on !!

Sheikh: I should have been clearer....when i called myself an 'expert,' I did actually mean the SPORT itself, not specifically betting (my father been an owner/breeder since the 70s).....I do ok betting-wise, esp. so far in 2010 - but its a VERY tough game, and I am humble enough to know I may never crack it long-term. I do not think I am better than anyone else at selecting winners - or structuring wagers. No sir. What I meant was there is very little about the animal itself, or breeding, etc, etc, that I am not knowledgeable about. Does that make more sense? I am involved in the sport FIRST and a gambler SECOND, in other words. again...cheers.
I played it, small stakes. Looked at the form, and was happy enough. Oh well. I posted for Penn Race 8 tonight. G/l!
Kinda Humbling this challenge Markey !!
Zero excuses on my part, what a disapointment the horse has turned into, i have followed it from day one, 240k horse probably wouldnt get 15k for it after today, made the lead easily enough but ,.... shame it wasnt at charles town over 4 1/2 furlongs !!! ha ha!
Gonna study the DRF tonight now for tomorrow !!
PRESENTLY -$100

Belmont Park Race 1 - #6 Hatheer - Lay Lay Lay
Early start to my tip, Im going to LAY this horse... very disapointing, connectionns seem to be clutching at straws by dropping back to sprint distance, am taking her on with the #5 and #3.
I like this challenge thing :)

Apologies markey, i only gave you 4 minutes to get on !! My computer is playing tricks, managed to get the fav beat though (she wasn't even placed at Evens!)...
good call, Sheikh! Will try to get a good one in for Mountaineer tonight! In the meantime - check THIS out..... My highest odds ever. Perhaps I should stick to Uk racing - my new love!

Just noticed that on the main forum, if I was you quit now !! you'll never match that again !! ha ha!
Great Shot!!
Great Shot!!
Well, I had a few 4 figure scores already the last few weeks, and am well up, but this one really tickled me just because of the price. I create my own 'speed' figures for UK racing now, and they seem to be deadly at the moment. I had him ranked 2nd, a 5-1 chance. 100-1 was a crazy price. :)
from a 100-1, down to an odds on...lol...posted my play of the day forRace 1, Mountainer. Good luck! Looking forward to yours tomorrow... :)
Preakness ...
Lay Super Saver for me, appears to have a lot of things in his favor, possibly only pace of the race but I am prepared to let that be, think Looking at Lucky gets a great trip for once, sit behind the derby and explode in the straight.
Really do not like a lot of the others, think Carocatardo has a great ew chance..but for the top spot Looking at Lucky.
Good luck All !

Thanks Sheikh. My play of the day is the exact opposite. Not saying L at L cannot win, I know he can...just that I think under 7/2 is too low in this field. I used to be a big fan of his, and he is tough as nails...but I have a feeling he prefers 8 to 8 1/2 furlongs, and there are a few I am expecting to surpass his best today. Enjoy the race!
big score Race 11 Pimlico. Check the main thread. Good luck w/your Lookin at Lucky.... its you or me, amigo
Thnaks Best Mate, Highly enjoyable race for me as I laid Super Saver win and place and had backed lucky at 4/1 ante post here in canada !! good day today !!
Bloody close though at the end !!

hats off, Sheikh! My first Dude dug in again mid-stretch, but it was always going to be L at L. Hope you pounded it!
Get a grip you fc.uking half wits.............
All this self congratulatinge makes me want to puke......
Sheikh had tipped THREE HORSES here if you discount his place/show ones.....
One odds on favourite bombed out dismally (last night) - one was 6th and NEVER had a chance (derby) and one finally won (Lucky)- SO in my book 1 out of 3 is p.1ss poor - SO wise up.....!
Super star Markey laid Lucky but didn't have the balls to lay him in the derby - a race the horse never had a chance of winning........
So the moral of the story is....
If you relay on these guys for you tips then please let me know in advance so that I can LAY LAY LAY.......
FOR the record I posted BIG AGAINST Lucky/GG for the Derby but backed him tonight at Pimlico in a 'farcical' race he could NOT lose.......
Now enough of the s1hite and start posting some sense PLEASE....

Mick? Too many?
Feel free to post bets pre-race if you want.

....and btw, Mick....since I began my new bankrool on April 26, using new figures I have devloped for the UK, I have multiplied my initial investment to 65 times its original size using only 1% backs, and 3% lays, which I will be happy to prove to you be emailing you my backs and lays since then..... Spreadsheet. Just because some of us choose to break up the day-to-day monotony by posting on big races, does not mean we're not kicking *** all over the place. Relax. and send me a tweet...markeypd...I'll send you my record.
and ONE MORE THING....its obviously a good thing to post 1 out ot 3 winners, as Sheikh did, when the one winner pays 4.6 or so..is it not? Would most punters not be thrilled with a 20% return on investment? Two professionals I know operate in the 10-15% range.... As for me, you are right, my posts (lays) have been awful lately. Poor run of luck on the posts. :)
MickInGolderGreen - If you knew half of what markeypd knows you wouldn't be so stupid. (I really mean that as well)
I have been on here since 2001 (before you start saying I joined in 2008 - I have 2 accounts - Forum names - spiller & spiller1)......& in this time I have seen many "tipsters" come and go.
You have good ones and bad ones. I am here to tell you know that MARKEYPD is up there with the best. He would be in my top 3 come to think of it.
So "wind your neck in". If you live & were born in the posh parts of Golders Green then I would assume you are well educated so start acting like that.
I bid you a good day.

merci Spill. My only regret is actually understated Sheikh's profitabilty...it was actually 53.33% return on investment. go ahead and LAY LAY LAY LAY them...at your peril. (while we're at it, check out MY backs in my thread.....lay all of them too. 3 out of 8, 1 was 12.0, one was 13.0....can;t be a good stategy Mick suggests to LAY LAY LAY...unless he knows something about our upcoming selections that we don't??)
As for me, certainly not a tipster...its just that tbeing a full-timer can get very lonely when your girlfriend and dog don't care about your endeavors. :) Like you, Spiller, I post merely for the camaraderie.... if people don't like my picks, go ahead and lay them! but don't insult OTHER people's records, ESPECIALLY when it so clearly shows a profit? lol madness.
