Ryanwe
can I ask a few questions if its not intrusive
you are coming upto your annual 'treat' and in stunning form
As a matter of interest do you think the two are connected ?
Is it deliberate or a matter of course ?
ie you know you want to make the most of your Festival and you need to have your finger on the pulse
so do you put in more effort/focus or is it just an accumulation of the last 4 months work
Therefore is the side effect that the weeks running upto it you are 'in the groove'

If Cheltenham scores 100/100 what score do you give Aintree, Punchestown

anybody else with views more than welcome to comment

Is it just Me
-------------
When you are in form your selections just jump off the page
on your first glance through the card
when you are struggling you find yourself mining trying to dig out a winner

agree or disagree lads, or is it just an illusion

Just reviewing if I should change my approaches over the next 12 months
all input welcome

so one idea staking  plan based on last 14 days performance
just like 'trainers performance'

Must agree with you Stewpot
I liken it to snooker, which i
played to a reasonable standard
When i was playing well the pockets
were the size of buckets.
  Had two picked out in the 6.00 Wol
They were 10s and 12s with 365 last night
you know my story with them
Came home from work to find out
a certain Mr Taylor napped one
You can guess the rest Cry

Ask me as many questions as you want, I love talking about myself Laugh

It does seem true that everyone has their moments of form, however, luck can definitely play a role as to how many winners/losers you get at each part.

It's hard to judge people by form though because all punters go for different priced selections.

Some bloke might of had 6 odds on winners from 10 selections, yet is still losing compared to the other bloke who had a single 10/1 winner from 10 selections.

Hugh Taylor actually done a really good piece on this on Wednesday's form factor program.

As for Cheltenham it's always something I've been gearing towards since the start of the season. I guess all the handicaps are only something you can really get stuck in to now, and in the next few days, after the weights have been released.

Aintree is only 2nd to Chelt for me, where as there are probably other meetings during the year I'd rather watch than Punchestown.

It's OK to call me Ryan lol.

By:

When: 28 Feb 12 00:01
What I was getting at is do any of you guys know when you are really in touch with form

There is a phase when it all appears to fall into place
do you really up your stakes
because not only is your horse worth a 3 pt nap
but you know your own form means its worth a 4pt nap

ie should your stake reflect your horses chance plus your form
By:
RyanWe
When: 28 Feb 12 00:04
I don't change my staking, it's consistent throughout, and I think that's how everyone should bet.. providing they fancy each horse the same.

I know what you're saying though, when you think/appear to be in form, it does seem easier to pick these things / think straight.

However, I think people's success is more dependent on how they deal with the losing runs / bad luck.

stewpot
When: 28 Feb 12 00:09
Agreed minimising losses maximising profits
simple ........ Laugh

For me upto Ascot 5% stake
upto Goodwood 10%
upto York 15%
upto Leger back to 10%
because I know I am better at certain times of the season
therefore some Maximise & hence minimise approach

When you say up to 15% stake.. what does that mean exactly? 15% of what?

My bank say starting with £200
By:
RyanWe
When: 28 Feb 12 00:19
So.. does that mean you could have 7 losers in a row and your entire bank would be wiped out?
By:
stewpot
When: 28 Feb 12 00:21
No because your stke reduces as your bank reduces
eg 15% of £100 is only £15
of £50 is only £7.50
By:
RyanWe
When: 28 Feb 12 00:24
Haha I guess that is true.
