in the same vein as the previous four this week ............... costing me mone but not via gambling !! i went out of diggler towers just after the morning line to run some errands the car started and i started to drive but the car wanted to go violently to the left , on inspection i had a flat front tyre , hoping that a kid had played a prank and let it down i drove the 1/2 mile to the garage to put some air in , my worst fears were realised though as i took the cap off only to see a nail protruding out of the tyre . i got myself to my local tyresrus and 1 tyre quickly multiplied to a full set of 4 !!!! , the other front was ok just but not much life left in it but the rear two were cracked and needed replacing straight away , as im a regular customer they did me a deal and it was decided to replace the set ................ nearly £400 down on the day and not a bet had been struck in anger !!! thankfully by the end of the day this episode had long been forgotten .
i have always held a preference for the national hunt season , and in times gone by , i had always earmarked the october saturday "timeform" chepstow meeting shown on the beeb as the start proper of the winter season , but i shall bring my start forward in future by a couple of weeks to this weekends market rasen meeting , and i was especially looking forward to see the debut over hurdles of alan kings progressive flat horse franchoek , bred to stay forever this son of trempolino was expected to fare well over hurdles my only concern was that he may get tapped for toe over just short of 2m 2f , as i feel he may need further over hurdles , a creditable 3rd but i feel my concerns were justified congratulation to mark holder on this race !!!!
the second horse i was looking forward to was blu teen , i first noticed this massive scopey horse at chepstow last season when successful , this horse dwarfs his oppenents jumps for fun and travels well , his trainer pre race voiced concerns on the fitness front and he was spot on , all through the race he travelled like the winner although he never really managed to lose the attention of prestbury knight and although niggled to stay in touch superior fitness in my opinion eventually took its toll and prestbury knight won going away , congratulations to isiris on this race !!!!!!

HORSE A £250 win @ 3.56 £250 place @ 1.52 2nd -£125.20
i was out friday night so i missed getting on in the qe ii , but with the non runners i decided to try and trade myself into a position where i could back the horse @ 5/2 on the exchanges each way and therefore obtaining ew on 3 places as it was now a 7 runner affair.
listening to comments by the beeb experts pre race they mentioned the selection and raised the possibility of trouble in running , i mocked this comment , ffs there are only 7 runners !!!!
i not for the first time this week was cursing the ineptitude of a "top class champion" jockey ........
MARK HOLDER
2.05 mr falcons fire £150 ew @ 10/1 £150 ew @ 8/1 WON +£3240
BINGO !!! back on board and back with a bang !!! mh suggested we wait for the shows but from past experience i always feel its best to bag some of the best price available to me at the time of the message , hence the £150 ew @ 10/1 , a couple of mins before the race the selection was on the drift via the exchanges but just as i placed my orders support came in and they were unmatched i ended up backing it with the bookies on line as i was at home , but just as i was awaiting confirmation on my £150 ew @ 9/1 it came back price change now 8/1 !!!
i cant complain though , a much welcome winner that turned a £1600 loss onto the week into a £1600 profit .

ouch £1600 and counting ...............
cost of the week as i speak , close of play friday evening , fully realise that this can be wiped out at a stroke at the stakes i bet to ............. but obviously not the start i wanted !!!! but losses are part n parcel of the game im in , if you cant take a loss gambling is not for you , its the long run that counts and im fully confident that the last few days losses will be erased over the next week or so , but from my point of view i was looking forward to my return after the holiday , was excited and confident (that has not changed) and had a extra bit of enthusiasm and so far this week has been like todays weather a damp squib but you cant choose your profitable times , and day to day profits are to my way of thinking are irrelevant , all im concerned with is the long term p/l and as long as its generally on a upward curve (and it is , but not at the levels i want) then im content .

WHAT WAS I SAYING ABOUT THE HILLS BROTHERS .............
yesterday i was counting my lucky stars when michael hills took it easy inside the last and just held on more by luck than judgement to retain a much needed 3rd place , well today it was turn of twin brother richard to show why their runners imho should be backed sparingly and with a wealth warning ............ backing this horse could seriously damage your wealth ! im not saying for one moment the horse would have won , the winner showed a nice turn of foot at a vital stage in the race but backers of deira dubai (2.20 ponte) were never in with a chance the way the race panned out .

a loss of £150 on the day for me , a couple of 16 runner handicaps at fontwell and mh mentioned a couple to keep on your side , in the first at 3.10 it was lanos so i invested £75 ew @ 8/1 , not much of a run pulled up in fact but in selling grade i feel the horses tend to run with less consistency so poor runs have to be expected .
the second bet was to be in the lucky last but i shall rename it the frustrating last , a withdrawal during the afternoon reduced the field to 15 and the ew value went out of the window , the new independent shop would be of no use as 1) i was at home and 2) the bet has to be placed before the nr is announced and this was not the case ,the selection was to be kyathos £75 ew @ 14/1 , well backed into 8/1 at one stage on the run up the hill to the line i thought he was going to prevail and really hack me off !!! but the game winner held on by 1/2 length .
lets hope for better tomorrow .

HORSE A £250 ew @ 5/1 3rd p/l nil
correct to go against the odds on fav who was just beaten into 2nd but i was mighty relieved to recoup my outlay as michael hills to my eyes seemed to take it easy inside the last furlong when it looked like 3rd was assured only for andaman sunset to finish like a train , a stride past the line we were 4th . i am not one to criticise jockeys ................ much ! as my only time on a horse resulted in a very embarressing ejection out of the saddle when the horse started to trot but i have favourites and not so favourites and for many years the hills brothers have been amongst the latter group .

a loss of £200 for me and that was therefore the loss on the day , i layed the godolphin kirklees £250 @ 1.80 , an easy convincing winner and i knew my fate some way out . i fancied spurs in the evening and i was tempted to have a £390/240 (8/13) but my football punting is about as successful as a chocolate teapot so i decided not to risk it , at the end of the day it would have paid off but i,ll take the £200 loss on the chin and look forward to tomorrow .

not a champagne return ..................
with the optimum selection thomas mallory denied in a photo for 3rd in the 3.50 folkestone today but not too much damage done , on the whole not a bad couple of weeks to have off from what im told by various emails received whilst on my holiday , and back raring to go .
some good news on my return a new independent betting shop has opened locally offering all kinds of offers including paying out on the 4th place in handicaps when the field are reduced to 15 and even 14 runner fields !!!!!! HAPPY DAYS but i wonder how long i,ll be tolerated and what odds im allowed £300 ew on ??? little i imagine .

a nightmare arbing scenario .............
for me in the 3.05 york , backed always fruitful £200 ew @ 12/1 had layed it back 11.75/2.96 win & place and was quite happy until potential disaster struck , there was a n/r reducing the field to 7 and my bookmaker bets were now 1/4 odds 1-2 but my betfair lays were still the original 3 places ! the reduction with the n/r gave me a potential loss of £344 if the horse were to finish 3rd . this is not the first time this has happened and personally i can see no solution , you know the risks as an arber with moving markets and the n/r situation , i decided to do nothing and hope , luckily on this ocassion i came out unscathed as the horse was first beaten and trailed in last .

well i went to romford last night to watch gregorys girl , yes i thought that she had every chance although upped in grade and i expected her to go very close , but i would only back her if the price was right if she went 5/2 at the track i would have backed her , i left orders on the fair to back her @ 3/1 , but she opened 7/4 and at the off a bit of 2/1 was available , she trapped brilliantly and led all the way , did me not supporting her take any gloss off the win ? not at all i still shouted her home like a madman and was chuffed to bits , she is entered for a open race @ reading on thursday night so fingers crossed that she will get in .
my only bet on the night was get a grip a improving pup from the same kennel as mine , ran a brilliant race last time out and i expected her to run well , he opened on the track @ 9/4 , support came in for the four dog into 5/4 but get a grip only drifted to 5/2 but was available at 7/2 on the fair , i had £200 on . he trapped out well , only led by the 5 who had bags of early and going down the back straight was 3lengths behind , but then he started to make ground and coming off the last bend he was about to take it up on the inside when the 5 shut the door on him and he was forced to check , coming up to the line he was closing but the finish came a couple of strides to soon and he was beaten a head .
so i start the day £375 in arrears ................... work to do !
WELL THE HOLE GOT BIGGER & BIGGER .................its now a landfill site !

i would have published them if they were comments but they were emails sent to the address on my blog , two of the emails were regarding the mark holder service and the bet on saturday the other questioned my honesty and integrity , so lets deal with the mark holder situation , i will be resubscribing in october im away for the majority of september and i decided to restart my membership on the 1st october , sods law saturday 1st sept up pops a 8/1 winner ! well done to mh & his team and i hope all his subscribers filled their boots .
the second email stated that he would only believe my figures if i posted my bets before the off time of the race .................. well im sure all the subscribers who pay decent money for the info plus the likes of isiris & optimum would be well chuffed with me doing that , my subscription would be cancelled in a flash , if you want the info , then subscribe , i dont lie my mum told me my nose would grow !!! if you dont believe that isiris gave out a 20/1 shot that won or optimum were successful with a 5/1 chance then im sure the betfair forum or the service themselves would give you their results .
what would be the point of me lying ? what would i achieve ? absolutely zilch , im not on some sort of ego trip , im just trying to make a living and enjoy life , be lucky !

in the 7.58 romford i do fancy get a grip who ran brilliantly last week and i expect to support him tonight .
out of retirement .....................
at 10.15 this morning i was just about to pop down to the gym with my post and a read on the bike when i got a phone call ................ anychance of helping us out , xyz has just dropped out the second team only has 10 players , most of the squad are on holiday and we are second bottom of the league playing third bottom winner stays up scenario , can you please help us out , i explained that 10men would probably be stronger than 10 plus me but my mate was having none of it , but i have to work saturdays is a busy day and the match is miles away for me as i live in middlesex now , not brentwood . look you can use your phone and place your bets from the pitch , i tried to explain i needed the internet but he was having none of it and i was coming ut of retirement to help out my old team mates in the titanic relegation battle in the tc rippon news league division2 rayne v south weald , i had to meet my mates enroute as i didnt know where rayne was . we won the toss and batted ......... a nice lovely day and i could get my bets on
i was down to bat at number 7 we went off like a ferrari 90/1 off 14 but this quickly was educed to 120/5 off 19 and i entered the fray after a 2 years absence , i played out 4 balls with no alarm , watched a maiden go by from the non strikers end , then i hit 4/2/4 off the first 3 balls of my next over , easy this i could be the next ian botham even at 41 !!! then disater stuck i went for a cover drive only to get a inside edge that hit my toe and bounced up to be caught by the keeper ................ hows ya luck!! i thought the ball had hit the ground first but the neutral umpire assured me at tea it had hit my toe , we ended up on 212 all out . we had the opposition 120/5 and we were favs the skipper from this time to the end kept telling me to warm up as i was going to bowl , he tossed me the ball at 209/5 with 6 overs to go !!! thanks mate i explained i was exhausted from my warming up exercises and was too knackered and that in my only game in 2 years i didnt want to bowl the ball that relegated the club everyone on our side collapsed in laughter even though we were about to be relegated , skip bowled the over still red and tears in his eyes from laughing , the ball a long hop was despatched with glee for 4and we had lost and were relegated ........................ i had loved the day and cammaraderie of my old team mates , slotting in as if i had just been missing for 2 weeks due to holiday and i aim to play next year for a local side on a sunday as i realised how much i miss playing .

i love this game !!!!
when everything falls into place or very nearly does so , each day i start with two sheets of paper , one with my own ideas and the other is divided into sections designated to the subscription services with account bets and possible trading/betting strategies and as i make each call bets and comments are noted down , once all this info is down , i take five/ten mins to organise it in a timetable of races and i just take some time out to make sure i have a clear idea and strategy ahead of the days racing , somedays i may have too much information and thats where i try to cherry pick the best bets in my mind for the coming day and today was such a day , i had 4 horses of my own to back and optimum mentioned 5 races plus an account bet , now there is no way i will be having 10 bets so i have to be selective , my horses were 4.30 chester noisy silence , 5.25 sandown sugar ray , 6.10 sals mccartney and 6.40 sals bright mind . bright mind is automatically scratched on the price as is a 2/5 fav , noisy silence is the next one to go as i think 10f even round chester will stretch its stamina and i think the track wil be too tight lastly im no great lover of betting at the course so this one bites the dust , its down to sugar ray and mccartney and these two i both expected to win the only drawback would be the price as a minimum i wanted 7/4 both of them , but during the day both were trading around evens-11/10 . this strategy worked well for sugar ray the 11/10 fav who was disappointing to my eyes finishing 2nd under a very strong ryan moore ride so it was down to mccartney , i would under different ground conditions be willing to take a shorter price on this one as he has shown a liking for some cut but i thought he would cope with the quicker ground and had my fingers crossed that the ground concern would cause a drift in the ring , on his previous impressive victory he drifted on the exchanges so i was hopeful that my price would be attained , as it happened it was , touching 2/1 i believe , mccartney won got a good ride and maybe was a fortunate winner as the runner up perhaps did not , but they both look decent horses , but mccartney defintely prefers cut in the ground and only just got away with it today .

the slow but sad demise of the oncourse betting market ............
thats my opinion after going racing on tuesday , i admit lingfield on the all weather with a poor card is not a true representation of the strength of the on course market , but on tuesday there was a fair crowd but no proper punters from my observations ok mr curley was there but his business was conducted much earlier no tic tacs , tissues or twist cards the betting ring even with barry dennis in attendance lacked any colour or vibrancy , where have all the characters gone ? the oncourse prices were purely n simply a reflection minus abit of the prices on betfair ,prices were adjusted (lowered) when a price on the exchange came under pressure so a regular sight was prices scrubbed without a bet being struck , i appreciate that if they didnt follow the exchange moves then the arbers would appear but the betting ring is a sad reflection of the place i once worked and learnt so much as a teenager in the early 80,s and the evolution of exchanges now threatens the on course market , why should serious punters go to the track especially for the lesser meetings where the market is so weak and liquidity a major problem ? but i enjoyed my day out with good company and for once the weather was kind but my days out to the races i believe will be confined to "social days out" in the future .

in my days as ...............
a foreign exchange dealer a few years back an early achilles heal of mine was after a profitable day ..................... the day in question i had taken on the all the market could give , had come up trumps gone out that night with colleagues and brokers alike to the fancy bars around liverpool street , celebrating going over my master strokes of the day and how i had made many thousands .................. pretty pathetic really !!! my problem was over confidence and the next day i felt that i was superman and could do no wrong .............. MISTAKE !!! and 9/10 i ended up trading like nick leesons brother and losing most of the previous days hard earned gains , but after time i come to realise that the day after a decent day is to play conservatively and go to work with a hard nosed mentality , you aint gonna get it back attitude .
you can draw parallels with what i do now and today was going to be hopefully a quiet consolodating day , mr booth of isiris is an advocate of this approach and one which i agree with 110% .
you join the likes of isiris , optimum and mark holder to make your betting profitable following their advised selections but if all you do is note the bets and ring off you are in my opinion missing a vitally important part of their service , which is gambling education do,s n dont,s of the gambling world to make your betting experience more profitable . i appreciate mr booth is lets say a "character" not everyones cup of tea but as ive stated before the racing advisory world be a poorer place without him and most important to remember is that he is without doubt most knowledgeable on gambling , the mathmatics and percentages of betting as is andrew and mark , so for novices of betting and a few have contacted me recently it will be worthwhile listening to messages throughout , take notes and if something does not make sense ask the person or email me , i dont class myself as a know it all betting wise far from it but if i dont know the answer i would confidently bet long odds on i know someone who does .

a marvellous day all round ................
yes the p/l obviously a profit of over £2000 on the day making over £5000 this week is personally much needed but the victory of john bests kingsgate native in the nunthorpe really pleased me although i had no financial interest in the race , i have had shares in 4 horses with john since the late 1990,s with varying degrees of success i might add , i sold my last interest in a horse with him last year but that was not down to him , i didnt agree with some of the racing decisions with the horse and offered my share for sale which was quickly bought , but i have always found john most approachable , genuine and hardworking and he deserves all the success that comes his way , well done jb !!!!

my second bet was in the 2.50 stratford i was looking to back joe lively ew @ 3/1 , a cracking ew race with many runners not in with a squeak , i was keen to take on the fav double deputy my thinking being that he may be in decline and finds little under pressure , blue square were 11/4 so i bagged £50 ew at the price and was going to have more if the selection touched 3/1 , as isiris members know this did not happen ! and joe lively romped away to an easy success and for me a profit of £308.25 on the day .

not much to report .................
after the success of yesterday , i lost £250 on the day , £100 @ 7/4 on swiss franc in the 2.00 york and never looked comfortable to my eyes , initially i was trying to get £400 @ 7/4 and was going to arb it but was onlyallowed £100 so i kept it as i did expect the horse to win , the other £150 was lost in the last where i took 3 against the field £50 on valerie borzov @ 6.2 , morinqua @ 13 and special day @ 13 , in running they all traded considerably shorter and ran well especially the latter , close but no cigar !!!
i have decided to have a day out at the races next tuesday , so if my previous form is anything to go by local residents of lingfield can expect hurricane dirk by monday evening , failing that a monsoon of tewkesbury proportions im afraid ....................... the reason for my pessimism on the weather front is well founded going by my previous intended racing days this year all washed out . the post are offering a deal of £5 for admission , racecard and a pint for racing at lingfield tomorrow and next tuesday so if anyone fancies it or are already going send me an email , if you give me all the beer vouchers i,ll even get the first round in !!!!!!!!

ho pang yau ..................
not the latest edition to my local chinese take away but a much welcome and needed 12/1 winner in the 5.45 perth , the change in my p/l reporting is quite timely as i would have been embarrassed to include the profit under my personal trading account , the majority of readers will be well aware of the source of this winner , but any confusion can be quickly erased by a personal email to me on raceto30k@hotmail.co.uk and i will be more than happy to divulge the source of the information , a profit of £3600 was attained with £250 ew @ 12/1 .
again i had problems with "getting on " with the optimum sport selections on the top bat markets and if this continues i will have to re evaluate how i use the information received , they put up 2 bets in top bat markets , sachin tendulkar 4 pts @ 4/1 with skybet , logged on and was offered £2.50 !!!! so i phoned up only to be told my account was internet only , so i was stuffed there , the next best price was 3/1 and i refused to take that , perhaps i will try betbrokers next time to see if they have any more success , so with me not getting the 4/1 on sachin i decided not to place the bet on shah to be top england bat in the series which was a result as he did not play and with cook & bell both scoring tons and a tidy england victory , only a injury can see shah play an immediate part in this one day series , an england victory was a good start to the advice to back england in the series@ 6/4 or bigger on the exchanges but being a 7 match series a long way to go yet .

an 11/2 optimum winner missed ....................
on friday , was the lowlight of the day for me , sods law , you forget one call back in a blue moon an you miss a 11/2 winner victorian bounty !!! felt like a kick in the teeth i can tell you , friday was hectic as i took a trip up the M1/M6 to stafford .............. my girlfriends daughter is a top gear fast car junkie and would be able to discuss the spec on any ferrari , aston martin , lambourghni etc etc with clarkson and his mob , and for her 21st birthday we bought her a driving experience so she could take a spin in a ferrari and lambourghni , this was saturday , but as we had to be their for 8.30 in the morning we travelled up friday evening , journey was not too bad but the evening call back was forgotten and the winner missed !!!!
i have decided not to quote my services individual p/l figures from now on , just my bottom line , many reasons for this but i want my blog to be a fair reflection of the services and the individual p/l figures just fail to do this , take isiris they are showing a p/l profit of just over £1500 but through trading my profit gained from the service is nearer £4500 ,optimums figure would be close to break even or profit if i had carried on with my initial staking and including fridays winner , my personal profit stands at £7500 but this is 90% down to isiris,mh & optimum through trading and interpretation of the daily message .
then there are holidays and missed messages it is unrealistic to expect that you will be able to make every message although friday was a mistake on my part i accept , but you have to realise that call backs will occassionaly be missed so this distorts the figure but this can work for or against , just happens friday worked against me ! but then this afternoon my discipline saved me £150 , optimum sport put up two bets on the cricket glamorgan v yorkshire on the top bat markets ryan watkins 2 points @ 14/1 or 12/1 well i was unable to get either price as extrabet had cut to 8/1 and boylesports have closed my various accounts , the next best for me was 8/1 aprice i refused to take as i couldnt get on at an acceptable price so i kept my powder dry so to speak and i felt uneasy leaving one part of the bet and backing the other election , so rightly or wrongly i decided to hold back and not take the 5/1 on craig white to top score for yorks , this proved the correct decision as they made 1 & 0 respectively and saved me £150 in total
so i will continue to keep my own personal diary/record of bets and i will continue to mention the individual bets of my blog , but there will be no individual figs on here , if anyone wants my figs then please feel free to email me .

a disappointing end to the week .......................
BUT a week that shows a profit of just over £900 so cant complain , im writing this monday afternoon and unfortunately it does not look good for punters owed money by premierbet and heathorns , as the holding company had their shares suspended on friday and today both sites are "down" due to maintenance work with lines not being answered at both companies im told , especially sad if this is the end of heathorns who were once a well run and respected family run firm , i still think that its nothing short of fraud and bang out of order that these companies have been allowed to freely trade and tempt new customers with bonus offers during the last few months when they have been blaming a new processing system on the failure to deliver withdrawals which is clearly a lie , they have had a "cash flow" problem ............ no id go further than that they are skint . i had accounts with both companies i managed to get my money back from heathorns some time ago they did blame a processing problem for a delay but i have a ante post cricket bet thats like to kop so probably another non payment to add to my roll of dishonour joining luvbet and riobet .

raceform notebook and the timeform blackbook ......
were my preferred form analysis in my younger days pre isiris/mh , my dad suggested i should find a niche and concentrate on a certain field so i studied two yearolds and my only bets were in two year races , i made some money not huge but i enjoyed it and i regarded it as a hobby more than a money making tool , but then i found other hobbies ............. women and drink !!! and the form study went to the back of the queue as i have a tendency for a "all or nothing" mentality so the formbooks went into the loft ! , thesedays my own personal bets are reserved for horses that i note inrunning mainly green 2 yearold debutants , i may only have half a dozen bets per year but the success rate is pretty high , the reason i mention this is that today i was alerted to one such horse that i had noted in my easyodds horsealert stable , a briliant innovation by the way and that horse was mccartney in the 6.20 hamilton .
wednesday
PERSONAL TRADING
a quiet day with my first interest in the 4.00 salisbury but it got off to a decent start , isiris had put up promising lead in this race and i had £150 @ 7/2 , the price held steady , actually on the exchanges i noticed it trading at 4.9 15 mins or so before the off , but support emerged and it was sent off a strong 5/2 second fav i layed £150 @ 4.0 and another winner for the bang in form isiris team and a £75 profit for myself . my selection mccartney was running in the 6.20 hamilton and it had been relatively weak all day the bookies put it in as a 8/11-4/5 shot but the smaller internet firms followed the drift on the exchanges to quote evens , i dont have enough confidence in myself and doubts started to creep in , i need not have worried as mccartney was the easiest winner of the day scooting up by 7lengths and i had invested £200 @ 2.32 on the returned 6/4 fav , a nice day with a profit of £327.12 .

what was i saying about spurs resembling a pub side ............ relegation battle on saturday versus derby a real 6 pointer !!!! i love my sport , enjoy playing cricket and watching that aswell as football , but this evening on my way to the lane left a sour taste in my mouth and to put it bluntly pissed me off big time , walking to the ground past a pub a hundred or so spurs supporters and 3 everton supporters a girl and 2 blokes , im on the other side of the road and i see a bloke in a spurs shirt go past her and throw the contents of his bottle over her and went back into the pub presumeably to get another round in to a chorus of applause n cheers , well i have recently been to the cricket 20/20 finals and the last day of the test at the oval on both occasions plenty of banter between rival supporters and all good natured without a whiff of trouble , first home game of the season and i see this , pathetic ! and thats the supporter i saw and those who cheered plus the team as well ..........................

at just after 9pm last night ...................
i flicked over to sky sports news , and my immediate thought was ............. "can we start this football season again !" on saturday my beloved spurs played as if they were a pub side devoid of invention or ideas and got beat by a goal in the 90th minute, the 2 saturday football bets had gone down the pan and on monday evening both the backed teams were a goal behind .......... i didnt dwell much on the football went back to the tv programme i was watching , flicked back to sky sports at ten and ................ oi oi happy days !! kilmarnock had scored in the 87th min to record a 2-1 victory and provide a winning isiris main account bet .
had a most enjoyable day @ the oval watching the last day of test cricket in england for 2007 , india were good value for their series win , although england can count themselves unfortunate to lose the last 2 crucial tosses and the weather scuppered certain victory @ lords , but india did well as a unit especially the seam bowlers who complimented each other well , with very little cricket played in the warm up matches and in conditions so different to back home , the indians did brilliantly to adapt and compete in the 3 match series .

a nice belated birthday present from isiris !!!!
it was my birthday yesterday , had a lovely evening and was spoilt rotten and it seemed to carry on today with a nice present from isiris ................ i stopped the insiders early june and have no worries with that decision , it has made my life a lot easier as i was struggling to get on at the advertised prices , i will try to trade them if and when i can get the prices to reasonable sums of money , today was a quiet day i returned from the betting shop and had a look at the isiris insiders for today and for some reason i had a £25 ew double on ernie owl @ 10/3 and sforzando @ s/p , i would have taken the 4/1 but the price changed as i tried to place the bet ................... well happy days on all counts as both won with sforzando @ a sp of 6/1 !!! and a return of £862.50 to produce a profit of £812.50 .
ALL 3 ISIRIS INSIDERS WON so hopefully a few members inculded them in a multiple bet advised prices of 7/2 - 9/4 - 4/1 a treble of in excess of 72/1 or at sp it was 59/1 either way a brilliant day for isiris insider followes ........................ 100 renewals by the end of the week !!!

no isiris , ..............
oh well i can always use claude duval in the sun , perhaps bob rothman is he still about or maybe i,ll follow the fairs forum no one ever backs a loser on there !!
my main observation is this , 2008 has been a difficult year for punters the weather unsettled and i dont care what anyone says this has had an adverse effect on the advisory services as mh has freely admitted he is enduring his poorest spell in many a year , so isiris are certainly not alone in admitting the p/l figs for the year are disappointing , the service offered by isiris is not everyones cup of tea , i can accept that with various call backs , difficulty of getting on , cancelled bets , and kevins eccentric ways etc etc but i feel the betting/tipping world would be a poorer and duller place without mr booth and isiris , i havnt as yet subscribed for 2008 but i will in due course , perhaps tonights message was meant as a kick up the arse for the likes of me .
i am genuinely looking forward to 2008 with isiris with the new proposals , selectivity is the ONLY way to go if you want sustained profits and i feel fairly confident that we shall see the new format of isiris in 2008 , my cheque will be in the post by the end of the month .............. only another 46 to go !!!!!!!!

a busy afternoon ................
but ultimately unsuccessful , but no worries we are not going to win every battle , the first isiris main account bet looked home for all money but in the end a 16/1 winner (won easily) beat us but it was right to oppose the well supported fav who was beaten some way out again it was the case that the selection from isiris drifted on the exchanges trading around 9/2 and 4/5 win n place , the second main account bet never looked like being profitable and it was a relief in my neck of the woods to scrap into 3rd .
