1.40 Sedgefield GREY SKIES Win Has to give nearly two stones to tellhimlisten and in theory has no chance on paper. Luckily this race is run on grass and oats, and the bare facts are whilst the favourite has won four on the trot and is due to go up a stone after today and should win easily in chase debut, he's never jumped a fence under rules. Secondly all his wins have come in class five. Spectacular as they have been, 2/9 about this runner are well worth opposing. GREY SKIES has had a wind operation since last run and looks open to improvement seeking a first fences win and can jump ahead before the favourite can take advantage of the weights. Furthermore Grey Skies has come down from about 130 in the ratings so may have plenty more about him than shown as yet. I'd be much happier losing on a 3/1 shot in a match bet than the odds on jolly here...

Just to confirm I don't have a short price system. In the real world I don't back horses at prices shorter than 6/4 .

For the next 26 days I will enter a lucky 15 selection as I have 26 free bets from my £80 profit from yesterday. Please be aware that these bets will come with a wealth warning. I will be looking for value/large price bets - and expect no returns. If I get lucky there will be no cashouts at all.

Yosuke Watanuki to beat Benoit Paire at 1.70 with Unibet Going for one men's today, let's hope it won't turn the record around! Watanuki has improved since his first match here, and he beat Paire quite handily not that long ago. Paire showed his better side against Kokkinakis, but I think he still should be a bigger underdog against opponents that can frustrate him in various ways, and I think there's every chance he'll return to his usual side today.

Season 3 started quietly with only 20 winning bets, mainly due to several unexpected draws which would have made a good return had anyone picked them! Bet of the week is from @Xcout with a 6.5/1 treble more than doubling his bank already, @harry_rag and @Marek76 not too far away from also achieving that with over 3/1 returns. Division 1 leads the way with a profit. Week off now for International games and we'll be back with the weekend fixtures starting Fri 31st. We coud do with at least one more player in Divisions 7 & 8 (and up to 6 more in each) so the competiton remains open until deadline for new entries to join in from week 2 (but we will run as we are if there are no more takers).

My monies on @Johnrobertsonhanging in there with shrewdly chosen odds on shots

William Hill: Christian Garin to beat Giron @ -125 I've spoken about GArin. He is one of my players, and I doubted him last match. He sometimes starts slow, but he quickly grabbed form, and outclased TAbilo. I see similar type of scenario vs Giron who does not have the consistency and spin from the baseline. I also think Garin's serve can sometimes be especially potent, and he could rival Giron in a serving contest on a good day. I imagine that he has adjusted the courts now in Miami, and already has two matches in his belt. For me this is a no brainer.. If you don't like the Garin side.. there is no real way you can bet Giron, and be confident.

Curragh irish lincoln Current option 8.9 25/1 Cosmic vega 8.7 14/1 Mashoor 8.4 25/1 Very very difficult race ....no degree of certainty here as its,as wide open as you'd imagine ....but good prices so I'll try 5pt ew top 3 and Hope lady luck lends a hand ✋

Was going to go for over 1.5 goals at first but it was only 1.01 so felt 1.06 for a goal first half was better value

Karlsruher scored - my profit is now £16.88. I'm going to let it build and see how much I'll have by the end of the year.

My main reasons for watching brief was after watching the UK raiders at Chantilly the other day they seemed miles behind the French & it was the market movers that day who took home the spoils , I also like French racing start & end of their turf season when the going is testing but will give it a few weeks before having a few quid albeit last season wasn't very fruitful unfortunately but good luck to yourself .

I see 4 matches in the WTA that might be more contested than what the odds suggest. Tomova @4.5 vs. Collins Golubic @4.7 vs. Samsonova Rodina @4.7 vs. Linette Martincova @4.3 vs. Haddad Maia I'm not saying that the underdogs will prevail in the end, but one or a couple of them might come close, leaving some room for going all green.

Most winners Lots of permutations with 9 days to go

Just the one here:- Austin Eckroat 75/1 bet365 ew 1/5 8 places - A young improving player with some nice course form including 12th on debut in 2020.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you though!

That was a tense 40 minutes but England held on and didn't concede or score the 4th goal. A £25 profit after those 5 losers.

Nice one harry I’m behind you ??

Won't be able to watch the race as I'm at the football but 3 of last year's top 6 are entered again & all on good marks so when bet365 price paying 6 places will back . CASANOVA 25/1 3rd 40/1 ? STAR HARBOUR 16/1 COMFORT LINE 14/1 Last 5 winning draws / going 2022 ( 12 ) Yielding 2021 ( 5 ) Soft / Heavy 2020 ( 1 ) Good to Firm 2019 ( 3 ) Yielding to Soft 2018 ( 1 ) Soft / Heavy In 2014 stall 18 on soft to heavy won the highest drawn in long while with stall 3 being the most successful . I AM SUPERMAN 20/1 all prices bet365 b.o.g & 6 places . well a high draw won , 1st time in donkeys years .

Thanks Harry, I've gone with this at evens, it will be nice to get a win after 5 losses. Also taken £10 on the super boost, Harry Kane > 1.5 shots on target, was 11/10, now 2/1, I assume this is now good value, you can lay it on Betfair at 2.84.

Looks like you are still in with a good chance as all your main challengers lost today. The only bummer is that you dropped a point. It is quite easy to select horses that are at very short odds and have an excellent chance of winning ?. All you have to do is check through the races with short-priced favourites and make a note of all the horses that are at least 10 points clear of all other rivals in the RPR ratings. Obviously, one would exclude any race with some un-raced so-called wonder horse that is supposed to win by a country mile. I checked today and found that in the 2.15 Sed Forcing Bull 1/3 was rated 125 v 99 RPR won by 12 lengths and in the 4.45 Lud Tightenrourbelts 30/100 126 v 112 RPR won by 18 lengths. Further, @gbettle had a formula that he published here for short-priced horses in accumulators which seemed to work quite well. I'll try and find it for you if you are interested. I hope that @gbettleis OK as I haven't seen him make any posts for a while. I hope this helps

Just one win poor run apologies

Chepstow 4.20 Rock Of Star 10/1 bet365

Your strike is so good may be worth it but agree ? it would be pointless unless u really have that edge

Your last line nails it, i make a good chunk of my profits on French racing and watch 100's of races every season my conclusion/decisions are based around not as much the draw but on the decisions of the jockeys on the day.

Good luck glad to see another lucky 15 member let’s hope for a biggun ????

What I was trying to draw attention to was the possibility that other members may be under the impression that they are receiving BOG (all the promo info produced by Bet365 indicates that they pay BOG) when in fact they may have had it withdrawn and are not aware of it. I can't see why you feel so loyal to them, they are business people who seek to make money out of punters like you. Their generous offers are not benevolent. They just want to increase turnover and in doing so make enhanced profits. They don't run their business on morals, they run it on making money for their shareholders. Stay loyal if you wish, it is your choice. I would rather look elsewhere when there are better offers available

A few UK raiders tipping up at St Cloud today on the very soft going albeit I couldn't find a draw bias for the course . 1.25 MYCONIAN 6/1 ( A.Murphy ) 1st 11/4 2.35 ( Listed ) PRIDE OF AMERICA 6/1 ( A.Murphy ) 104 rated . ? 2.35 ( Listed ) LUISA CASATI 22/1 ( T.Ward ) 89 rated . 3rd 33/1 Just a watching brief , will jot down the draw bias though for sprints & longer distance races. low draw in stall 2 in only sprint race won & then in all but one of the races between 8-12f stall's 5-9 were fruitful but only one meeting so no gimme .

Day 5

a couple of small bets, Yonkers Trotters 1120 Huntress 2nd @ 5/6 0000 Jive Ninety Five. Dead Heat 2nd. @ 6/1 skybet. No early prices as usual.

Good day did have £47 cash out but took chance ? @Zilzalian out £6 in £24.64 +£18.64 day 4 bank £50.52 +£22.52 Thanks for this Lee - just for some interest I copied your selections and noted the non runner - I replaced with Lady Pacifico and was rewarded with another 3rd place at 33/1 - earned a profit of £80.15 - not bad for a quiet day? Keep up the good work - nice to see longer odds paying out from time to time? Top Man
