The question I would like to ask today is do you consider yourself a professional or a hobbyist punter? Before I go any further I should point out that my definition of a professional punter is not necessarily someone who makes his prime living from gambling. In my eyes a professional punter is anyone whose main aim is to consistently make a profit from their activities whether it be full or part time.
A hobbyist is someone who’s prime aim when backing horses is enjoyment. Certainly thy like to win but it is not their prime consideration. A professional will have a betting bank, use some type of system and hopefully maintain accurate records of their progress. A hobbyist will use what spare money they have available, will tend to back on impulse, believe practically everything they read Read More…

It is that time of the year, Glorious Goodwood when anyone who is anyone will be out in their summer finery. It was King Edward VII who described the Goodwood Summer meeting as a marvellous garden party with some racing tacked on. The forecasted showers should not detract from what looks like an excellent first day card.
Yesterday I was decrying the poor level of the cards but it was definitely a punters benefit day at Yarmouth with 5 of the 7 favourites coming home. The Galway Festival kicked off last night with many experts suggesting it would be a Dermot Weld benefit night. Sure enough he kicked off with the 5/1 winner Force of Habit in the opener but that was his only success. However, I am sure there will be plenty more Weld winners before the end Read More…

If you are a UK horse racing fan it is very difficult to get truly independent advice about horse racing systems and betting plans. Everyone has an angle, and many are quite simply just after your money. Even we would not mind having some of your money but we are not fanatical about it.
At the Premier Betting Club we believe in total honesty with our customers. If we do not think a system is any good we will not try and sell it to you. If we think a system is OK we will still not try and sell it to you until we have spent a considerable time testing it for ourselves. That is why we will never offer you someone else’s brand new system. If it is that new we will only just have started testing Read More…

Anything that is produced by Jonathan Burgess is well worth reading and his “Racing Specialist” is no exception. In many ways it is more than just a system, it is a lesson on how to discover value for money lay bets involving just first or second favourites.
If you are the type of person who just wants someone to give you the names of horses to back or lay and do all the work for you then you will not like Racing Specialist. If, on the other hand you are prepared to do a little research to find your selections you will appreciate Jonathan’s work.
In 181 pages he demonstrates the 9 key points that you need to check to find potentially low priced losers. With no bets at above 3.5 this is a relatively low risk method of Read More…

For quite a few years now some horse racing system marketers having been trying to persuade us that lay betting is easy. Claims that it is easy to achieve a 90% success rate have persuaded many punters to try their hand at lay betting on the Exchanges.
The argument goes something like “in a ten horse race instead of having your money on one horse, you have it on the other nine”.
How can you fail?
Quite easily, because the hidden trap is something called “liability”. If you back a horse and it does not win all you lose is your original stake. If you get a lay bet wrong and your horse wins then you lose the odds to the amount that you have laid. For instance if you lay a horse at 11.0 for £10, if you are successful Read More…

I expect that like me you are still trying to come to terms with Harbingers run on Saturday. I am not sure which surprised me most the 11 length effortless victory or the total capitulation of record Derby winner Workforce. As Harbinger went from 14th world top rated to the number one spot and jumped to favourite for the Arc we have to ask is he really that good?
After the Derby Workforces record breaking run was hailed as world class. Last Saturday’s King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes he was made to look very ordinary and Harbinger was being hailed as the new super hero. Quite honestly I do not know what to make of it and I suppose the question will not be answered until after the Arc when we will know if Harbinger will be able Read More…

Nobody ever said that horse racing was an exact science and so it proved again yesterday. As regular readers of this blog will know I spend some time perusing the Signpost pages of the Racing Post looking for pointers that will guide me towards winners. In the past I have found this very useful and doing this has proved time well spent.
Yesterday I noticed that Frankie Dettorri had only two rides, one in the 2.10 at Epsom and then he was travelling up to York for just one ride in the evening. This was enough to gain my attention and so I thought a small investment in the Epsom runner would not go amiss. To be honest watching the race on television the horse, White Moonstone was hardly mentioned and literally was never in the picture until the Read More…
