Good morning...
Well...
I received a few emails yesterday,
Telling me off,
And quite rightly so!
It seems that, in my haste yesterday morning...
I forgot to mention the 33/1 winner that we had on Monday.
Some members even sent in images of their betting slips to prove the point.
So, I do apologise for not mentioning the 33/1 top rated winner that we had on Monday.
I'll need to do some work on this but...
There may be a possible strategy for backing top rated horses where the bookies/Betfair...
Are offering significantly higher odds than the Forecast SP that I have published.
Just looking back over a few randomly selected Ratings PDFs,
This seems to work.
Click on the image to see it full size.
Especially for each way bets.
If any of you use this strategy...
Or, something similar,
And are willing to share...
Please let me know.
I've got a massive workload now but,
I'll try to find time to do some testing on historical data.

Satan
A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking.
Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.
Everyone started screaming and running for the back entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.
Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence.
So Satan walked up to the man and said, 'Do you know who I am?'
The man replied, 'Yep, sure do.'
Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked.
'Nope, sure ain't.' said the man.
Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?' asked Satan.
Don't doubt it for a minute, ' returned the old man, in an even tone.
'Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?' persisted Satan.
Yep,' was the calm reply.
'And you're still not afraid?' asked Satan.
'Nope,' said the old man.
More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, ' Why aren't you afraid of me?'
The man calmly replied, 'Been married to your sister for 48 years.'
Today
Whatever you are up to today...
Stay safe and healthy.
As always...
My kindest regards
