A look at the excellent Cheltenham and Aintree competitions on here got me to thinking, is it possible to bet on every race at S.P (on a selected meeting) over the course of a year and make an overall profit?.
I know the key to winning the Punters Lounge competitons is to find at least a couple of the biggest priced winners of the week, but over the course of a year, betting on the all weather, Flat,and National Hunt, would selecting 20/1 plus shots in every race really be the best way to go?.
I attend race meetings usually at least once a week(sometimes more).so i wanted to see if indeed it is possible to beat S.P. My reasoning for posting up on here is just to keep me accountable. The results, (warts and all) will be advertised in the forlorn hope that someone may even be interested.
So for the sake of clarity, i will make a selection in every race at the meeting i am attending, with the results and deductions calculated to Betfair S.P.
I do tend to bet horses towards the top end of the market, so there will be odds on selections and sometimes(in more competitive races) more than one horse in a race. To give me a chance i will use my own staking system to reflect my confidence, but there wont be any exotic, each way,or multiple bets, it's strictly win only.
The finishing post will be the Uttoxeter meeting on Wed 31 December(if its on).
Again for the sake of clarity, if i do select a non runner we will leave that race void.
