[Kieran Fallon phone tips]

And NEVER phone a telephone number that's sent to you by someone you don't know. It's likely to be a premium line that's costing you quite a lot. Check your bill.

[Life of a professional gambler]

Betting tax in shops was 10% when I started gambling in 1996. It was reduced to 9%, which you couldn't actually complain about but made calculations that much fiddlier, and then abolished completely in 2001. You didn't pay any tax on course, which was a big draw.

[Big Race Trends - Sat March 10th]

I like trends. Obviously they're better at predicting the past than the future, but they can have their uses. The trick, of course, is to work out which are significant.

I have a question for trend followers -- do you know where I can easily find records of past races? Until a while ago the Bet365 site often provided a race history at the bottom of the listings, but for whatever reason it now shows nothing but the last year at best. I'm willing to pay for Racing Post access if I have to -- would either or both paid versions provide this info?
