Hi, not a bad week made 6 points profit. Had 22 picks, 20 lost - just 2 winners 91% strike rate, but 2 i didn't lay because they were over 10/1 which is my liability cut off tho as you can see they lost anyway. Months total to date is + 18 points, which is fine by me.

A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way

to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for awhile,

he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you want to hear a blonde joke?"

The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky

voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir,

I think it is just fair - giving that you are blind - that you
should

know five things:

1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.

2 - The bouncer is a blonde girl.

3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 220 lb. blonde woman with a black belt in
karate.

4 - The woman sitting next to me is a blonde professional weight
lifter.

5 -
The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, mister. Do you still wanna tell that
joke?

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares,
"Nah,

not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times."

100% success and 11 points profit this week. Though has been a horrible week weatherwise it was a good week for my lays, as results show with 16 horses selected, 11 losers, 3 no bets (i don't bet over 11 on the exchange, tho they lost) and 2 at  abandoned meetings.
in addition i also took extra profit on some of the placings, most notably Humourous at 20/1
so, Profit for the month to date is now 12 points from 17  horses, with just one  winning  its race.

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two
drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says,

"I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today.." The
bartender says, "Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink.
In fact, this one is on me."

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, "I would
like to buy you a drink, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two
drops
of
water." "Coming up," says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, "I would like to
buy you one, too."

The old woman says, "Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with
two drops of water."

"Coming right up," the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, "Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why
the Scotch with only two drops of water?"

The old woman replies,

"Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor.
Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue."


"OLD" IS WHEN ... Your sweetie says, "Let's go upstairs and make love,"
and you answer, "Pick one; I can't do both!"


"OLD " IS WHEN ... Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.


"OLD" IS WHEN ... A sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door.


"OLD" IS WHEN ... Going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.


"OLD" IS WHEN ... You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long  as you don't have to go along.


"OLD" IS WHEN ... You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.


"OLD" IS WHEN ..."Getting a little action" means you don't need to take any fiber today


"OLD" IS WHEN ... "Getting lucky" means you find your car in the parking lot.


"OLD" IS WHEN ... An "all nighter" means not getting up to use the bathroom.

AND

"OLD" IS WHEN ... You are not sure these are jokes.

hi,
lack of time often means not able to post my lay system selections every day at present so have decided that will at least give running weekly result of total points lost or won, and if i have any selections for the day, i will post them too
jan wk 1     10 qualifying selections  -1.5 points.
jan wk 2     12 qualifying selection  +7.5 points
jan wk 3     11 qualifyng selections  +5.0 points

i have one selection today,
wolverhampton 4.20 Under fire at 7.6 just now on betfair.
briefly,
i look mainly at 1st or second favourites, that i don't think have what it takes to win.
and i dont lay at over 10 on the exchange.
good luck
rickyde

3 out of 4 not too bad, but still had me lose 3 points on the day with having 1 no bet and George the second winning at 5's, wasn't my strongest choice of the day,  and  i  considered leaving  him out,  but hey.
today, poor day for my system, have one weak selection in
ludlow 3:40 Bathwick Rox, Timmy Murphy on board has a good strike rate and the current form of the trainer  also gives call for concern.
so will play by ear and watch in the market, if racing still goes ahead on a lousy day like today.
good luck
rickyde

Hi,
yesterday both Keon and Present m'lord lost, great
now onto todays

17-Jan-07	newcastle	13:10	clemex	7/2
	lingfield	14:25	george the second	5/1jf
	newcastle	15:20	scotmail lad	13/2

Hi all,
First may i wish you all the very best for 2007, and hope that i can contribute to our collective knowledge and profitting from the exchanges.
Good to see that there are some new postings.
and a new celeb big brother series is underway, too.
who is your winner? my daughter is going for Jermaine?? Any other
You may remember from my last post, back in early December, i had completed a trial of a hoped for Maria lookalike/copy cat lay system which used multiple daily selections looking to emulate Maria's fantastic accumulation in one year turning £3000 into £100,000.
Well, after  3 months i did  not feel  the returns were equal to the time taken to select the losers, and while i acheived reasonable growth, this as not as good as i hoped.
so, i took a sabbatical, regrouped and concentrated on my 'nice little earner' lays.
so i shall be starting to relist these lays here, so might as well start today.

apologies all for no postings for a week. been laid low with a bout of the flu, and felt like s***, been reviewing the system in light of end of month results which showed me getting nowhere following a lot of work analysing the evidence
banks at end november were
£500 bank £928, gain on month 11.94%
£3000 bank £5343, gain on month 11.52%
way below my target of 35%, not good enough, time to regroup, especially with making 310 selections. strike rate was okay at 88.2%, but a few high priced winners saw me without the gains i wanted.
So...................... where do i go from here?
Well, i am using more than one laying formula.
so i will change this blog to them.
but, i may not post on a daily basis as in past.
watch this space.
glad to see a few more putting forward their systems, keep up the good work
good luck
rickyde

Summary of Life
GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptise cats.
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the
second person.
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.

Well, saved by the Irish (again), Blueberry Boy will have made connections a nice few bob, a 16/1 shot, so was a definite no bet for me, could have got at least 34 on Betfair at one stage!!! As for Woodhouse, quite a surprise, but I am glad that I put into the market earlier in the day and was not taken prior to the off. Was not following at all yesterday as too many tidying up jobs, clearing leaves with the horse manure hoover, which does make easier work out of a tedious job, but then a storm last night brought the next lot of leaves into the yard! The leaves are staying on the trees much later this year, I've noticed.
14 selected, 2 winners (no bet) and another 4 no bets left 8 qualifiying losers which gave the banks a boost
£500 bank gained £33.86 to stand at £882.88  
£3000 bank gained £194.80 to stand at £5077.93

Well, yet another winning day spoiled by the final race, when Night Prospector won. There was obviously a gamble on Potts of Magic who came in sharply from 10/1 to 6/1,
If I had been following live it is likely that I would not have laid him, but rather have backed him for a place at least. But I wasn't, so there you are

It will be sad not to see one of the greatest horses any more, the superb Desert Orchid, a right character of a horse.
However, life moves on and I am sure another great horse will appear.
We all have our favourites, mine are becoming the/my regular losers!
Yesterday, did not give me enough qualifying selections to save me from a loss. I was fooled into a false sense of security, typical of horse racing, when Cape Presto won at 9/1, which resulted in a loss of £19.85 to the £500 bank, and £114.47 to the £3000 bank.
These minor setbacks have to be taken on the chin, and looked at fron the overall strategy which is to acheive a high annual compound growth not daily profit, though both would be nice.
