Not been a great Festive period, but hopefully we can start the new year off to a winning start with these 6. Weymouth v Eastleigh Eastleigh have stopped scoring goals and although they had some good chances on Boxing Day in the reverse fixture they couldn't break the deadlock. Their game against Woking on the box wasn't overly exciting and again ended 0-0. Weymouth came out the wrong side of a 7 goal thriller on Monday against Torquay, but it was certainly a big step in the right direction following from the Eastleigh draw and a win in the FA Trophy against Maidenhead. 5/2 is too bi

As in previous years the Naps competition will be taking a break in line with that taken by the BHA. There is no UK or Irish racing on Wednesday, Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. To compensate for the reduced racing days the minimum bets requirement for December will be reduced to 13. May I take this opportunity to wish you all a happy Christmas and a prosperous and healthy new year.

As last year there will be a Christmas Tipsters competition. There is racing on terrestrial TV for 4 days from boxing day onwards so I suggest we use these for the competition. At the moment this gives us 30 races. Rules: 1 selection per race throughout the competition Bets settled to £1 level stakes - WIN Only Bets settled at SP Highest accumulative total over the competition wins £60 cash (via PayPal) Runner Up wins £25 and the third place wins £15, all prizes via your PayPal account No edits allowed in selection posts Losses incurred for

Drew a blank on Tuesday night, but then given the prices there was always going to be a risk of that happening. We have the Truro bet carried over from Tuesday to Saturday and I have 6 other bets in the FA Trophy. They are all big prices apart again apart from one so hopefully we can get some Christmas money. Chesham v Torquay The National League leaders go to Step 3 Chesham and I think they might come unstuck. When Gary Johnson was Cheltenham manager he pretty much totally discarded the FA Trophy and given Torquay are top like Cheltenham I think he will do the same again here with c

It has to go down as one of the most low key racing Saturday’s of the year but there’s still plenty of winners to be found so let’s have a look a the terrestrial TV races in time order. 1.50 Warwick 3m Grade 2 Novices’ Chase A disappointing turnout of only three going to post here and with stamina doubts over Colin Tizzard’s Fiddlerontheroof this should be yet another winner for the prolific winning machine of Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden. He impressed when winning at Newbury last time and despite a 5lb penalty for that victory should be following up here. The third in is Phil Mid

December was very much a month of 2 halves. From the start until the 12th I had 12/18 winners. From the 15th until the end I have had just 4/21 winners. Still most of the losers have just been 1pt selections so there was little damage done to the great profits from the first half and I was still 36pts up on the month from 61.5 staked. The yearly total stands at 197pts staked and 155pts profit.

6 out of 7 happy enough with that !!

Final results are in for our 20/21 season 2. There were a few games running on til Mon/Tues but all bets which included those have already fallen down so we are done! I'll post more details tomorrow so the winners can send their details to claim but in the meantime if there are any queries please let me know. If you thought you had a winner in week 8 that has been settled as losing, please remember that Extra Time and Penalties don't count. Hopefully I have settled them all correctly! Well done to our overall top 5. Like A Roughie had a big win in week 1 and was never caught.

Rough Tide ........ WON 40/1 think I'll retire now ....... 😃

1st and 2nd ....choosey wins ....20pts profit

Thanks Michael - been in fine form over Christmas with a profit (to a £20 stake) of £595.25 from Boxing Day to yesterday. That makes it an overall profit of £1908 since re-starting the tips on November 21st. Let's see if we can get through the £2k barrier today and get the hat trick of trebles up 🤞

Well done to the top 3 , I never know wether to pick a horse I think will win or one with a more tactical chance of scoring more points. Well done to the 24 who would have showed a profit , for everyone who took part & McClarke for time collating scores / tables etc... 👏👏👏

A profit on Boxing Day with Dagenham winning. I have 7 bets for Monday and will be brief. Halifax v Altrincham Don't think there is much between these two sides at all with both in decent form at the moment and there is certainly value in the away team at 3/1 with BetVictor. Notts County v Hartlepool The home side are well rested having not played on Boxing Day and also resting players in their FA Trophy game. They looked good against Stockport in their last league game and they have the edge on Hartlepool. Stockport v Wrexham Like Notts County, Wrexham had the Sa

Excellent value with BOYLESPORTS free bet if 2nd to the SP favourite in the 2.25 at Kempton. The favourite is 1/4, the 2nd favourite SILVER STREAK is 6/1, with the 3 others being 18/1, 25/1 and 50/1. I calculate the chance of SILVER STREAK winning is 13% with a 77% chance that it will be 2nd to the favourite. The edge on the bet is a massive 23%.

Hello everyone, All of us here at Punters Lounge would just like to wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! We think we can all agree that this year has been a very difficult one for us all and, in particular, this forum community. We had to say goodbye, in tragic circumstances, to two beloved individuals who played a major part in making this site what it is today. Site owner Paul Ross, aka Sir Puntalot, and Graham Sarson, aka BillyHills, will never be forgotten and their legacy will live on through this site and the people that both work here and post here. As we

Good ting backed into 9/2 fav and wins ...iesha backed into 7 and finishes 3rd ......they are not always going to win but its pretty obvious it's doing a good job of measuring the value and the rest is luck but I'm looking forward to tackling some big races once things settle.....certainly worth the effort Just for the record I used 30% recent form 30% form rating 10 % dist 10% ground 20% handicap

One of the questions I've seen most on forums is how do you determine value ????.....so let's try an value experiment and see how it goes .... First of all you need to decided what is important and assign a percentage of importance ( which can be changed ) ....but the total must come to 100% so for this example I've assigned .... Last time out form (40 % ) 1st or 2nd 10pts 3rd or 4th 8pts 5th or 6th 6pts 7th or 8th 4pts 9th or worse 2pts So that assigns recent form and what points the horse scores later we will come back to that La

1st and 2nd ....59pts returned ....135 pts profit on the day ....

I would just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas and lets hope for a Healthy New Year. I hope you've enjoyed my initial couple of months at the Punters Lounge, my ramblings on here and the daily tips on the horse racing tips section which are showing a healthy profit of £1312.87 (at £20 stake units) since 21st November. I can pass on a tip for GOLD FOR LOUISE (1.42 Pau) later although the horse has already been smashed into. Top price 6/4 now. The Brigadier

Having been making my own tissue prices for over 35 years for many of the leading bookmakers I thought I would share my strategy and thoughts. As to any serious punter the ability to be able to put your own opinions into odds form can be vital when attempting to get one over on the old enemy. There is a small amount of general arithmetic needed to relate a horses chance into a percentage figure. The first thing to understand is that every book is compiled to 100% with any thing over that the bookmakers profit margin (or over round). If you can back every runner in the race to under 1

At this stage I have just 3 bets for Saturday although given no one has priced up the 2 National League games and only Bet365 have priced up the FA Trophy matches, and not even all of them, so there could be more to follow. Chorley v Farsley Celtic Given I can't see the Chorley groundsman sleeping on the pitch in a tent to make sure the pitch is playable this week, there is every chance that this game could be off given the forecast. If it is on though I like the away side. Chorley will clearly have one eye on the FA Cup and I think it showed on Tuesday night when losing to Leamingto

Bromley v Chesterfield If you had said to me a few months ago that I will have a bit of a hatred for Chesterfield I would have called you crazy, but they then preceded to take our manager who then preceded to take 3 of our players with him despite agreeing to only take the one. I genuinely hope they lose every game as Rowe has done his upmost to disrupt Gloucester's season. All that said I am backing Chesterfield again here and when it comes to punting I always say you can't let your heart rule your head. I watched the game against Solihull and although Solihull dominated possession, Ches

This was my awards from my 1st positions on 1st division in last season , thanks @avongirl for the prize has arrived here in Portugal , and especially thanks to BillyHills aka Graham Sarson, for help me here on PL we miss you mate, and thanks to all punterslounge team. I took a picture with shirt of my club here in Portugal Next season will try to go to 1 st division here on PL , this season was very bad for me. Regards

another good day out £8 in £12.94

Brilliant stuff @Darran well done mate!!! Chorley surely have their names on the cup now!!! Nice selections on this thread in general, well done @Labrador and @harry_rag also. Keep up the good work lads!!!

1st and 3rd .....86pts returned ...I'll recoup my stake 20pts so that's 2x 33pt bets next weekend ....off to a good start

great start 50/1 bog +£90

Well the last day of month once again proved it ain't over till it's over. Very well done to all the winners and a special thank you to MC successfully completing your first month relatively unscathed, well done . Couple of observations, Most winners comp ; would it be an idea to make it actual winners, first past the post rather than racking up 'winners' on the place market . To those who think our eyesight is bad standard txt is fine thank you . The recent Christmas comp got a little ridiculous. Happy new year to all , let's hope it's better than the last one .

1st and 2nd ....shame elmejor was 2nd

Merry Christmas everyone It's been a terrible year for the forum, for the country, for the world ........... things can only get better! all the best to everyone for 2021 👍

I'd like to wish all tennis fans Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Celebrate well, guys, and thanks for participating in the forums this year!

Well said @StevieDay1983 and I must echo your sentiments regarding Punters Lounge and it's members. A big thankyou from me to all the moderators and key contributors to the site. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Nicky Henderson had a better day on Tuesday with 3 winners from 8 runners so I will stick with him at Ascot today. He has 2 runners in the 12.45, I will take a gamble with the second string EMIR SACREE at 28/1. In the 2.30 he has NO ORDINARY JOE at 100/30.

Fair play to derby they tried hard but they never really looked like scoring and it was a pretty comfortable watch unlike the Peterborough game! Two double figures price winners in the same season! I doubt I will be repeating that anytime soon

The poor run continued on Saturday with just Aldershot winning although 3 games ended up finishing 1-1 and easily could have gone either way such are the fine margins in football betting. Given the run I had from September until mid December it is no real surprise that things are starting to level out a bit, but there hasn't been too much damage done in the grand scheme of things. It is fairly quiet on Tuesday, but a couple of singles and a double make appeal Solihull v Chesterfield I'm hardly his biggest fan, but Rowe has turned Chesterfield's form around and although the fixture li

Chorley v Derby Chorley have had some FA Cup journey so far given they got a bye into the 1st Round and then went and beat League 1 sides Wigan and Peterborough. Obviously they did me a huge turn against Peterborough when I put them up at 18/1 and they were superb that night. They have been strong in the league as well since until AFC Fylde beat them on Saturday 4-0. I suspect they may have already had one eye on this huge game so I will let them off that effort. Derby are 22nd in the Championship under Rooney although results wise it hasn't been that bad of late losing just 3 of their la

Another winning treble today that's the third in the last six days! Well done to TumbleweedKing whose selections all obliged at Wolverhampton tonight for a profit of £211 (to a £20 stake). The trebles are showing a profit of £401.45 over the past 6 days. Also overall since November 21st when racing tips (can be found at top left of page) we've burst through the 2k mark and are showing a very healthy profit of £2100.12

Kempton on Boxing Day – a Christmas tradition though it’s sure to be different this year with no crowds there though the racing looks top class and here’s my thoughts on the meeting. Firstly the ground and although it was updated to good to soft (soft in places) on Wednesday afternoon I can see it riding slower than that and for my preview I’m looking at soft ground. 12.40 2m novice hurdle Favourite here is likely to be Dan Skelton’s Third Time Lucki who surely gave the winner at Cheltenham too much rope out in front last time. He’s better than that but the negatives aga

Usually Boxing Day is a busy day bets wise, but with half the games off in the National League South, 3 games off in the National League and of course no Step 3 action it is going to be much quieter than usual. It looks a tough set of fixtures as well so I have just 3 bets all in the National League. Hartlepool v Halifax Halifax hosted Hartlepool in the FA Trophy last week in what was a slightly crazy game that ended 3-3 and Halifax won on penalties. There was also 3 penalties in the game itself, 1 to Halifax and 2 to Hartlepool. In the space of 5 minutes in the 2nd half Halifax had

Merry Christmas everyone Time to remember lost friends and family. Stay safe and have a Happy Christmas it will hopefully get better.

Best wishes to everyone for Christmas and the New Year. May it be a better one generally and a successful one from a punting perspective!

Hi ✌️✌️ Punter Lounge community. After a break that will have done me good mentally, I'm back here to prepare my year 2020 for betting. I'm going to start from scratch to try to get back up to 2K$. I had started from nothing a few years ago and had managed to make a lot of profit this way. So I'm going to try again hoping to succeed. 👉🏼 I start with a fixed bank : 1000$ 👉🏼 Deposit 50$ every month 👉🏼 December 2021 , total deposit : $1600. The objective will be to make a profit of 400$ in 2021 in order to have a bank of $2000 to start 2022 and to start a new challe

I returned from Vegas in early March 2020, after a slightly unprofitable trip. Little did I know that, and wouldn't have believed you if you had told me, I wasn't going to play another live hand in 2020! I've never considered myself as a winning online player. All of my successes have come on the live circuit. Not that I'm some sort of soul reader at the table, more due to the fact that I get too easily distracted when I'm sat in front of my laptop, and an annoying inability to multi-table. As such, my poker career (not really a career) is very much on hold. I've stopped reading poker boo

Kudermetova to beat Kostyuk at 1.73 with William Hill I like how is paid Kudermetova, I was expecting something different... I have nothing much to say, she is better player and she has faced better players (Kontaveit, Badosa and Svitolina). Today she has won against Svitolina after losing the first set and I liked so much what I have seen from her. I haven't liked what I have seen about Kostyuk. She has played a lot of points with too much precipitation, looking for fast winners. She has played a horrible first set (6-0) and could have lost the whole match against Sorribes. EDIT. Wh
