Good morning all, and I hope everyone is good.
It’s been a profitable period since I last updated the blog
last week, with my betting accounts and bank account up to record levels.
However, I know from past experience that I now need to be very careful, or the
money will just be frittered away. Usually after a good win, I end up joining
new betting advisory services (Not sure why, when I’ve been making money) or
buying small shares in horses, which eventually I end up giving up when the
money runs out. Another pattern of repeated behaviour after having a good
winning run, has been increasing the size of my bets, or having more fun bets.
Thankfully this week, so far, I’ve kept a lid on things, maintaining normal
stakes, only following my existing tipsters, and I’ve not bought any horses
(yet).
Last week was mainly based upon the Doncaster St Leger
meeting, with Friday and Saturday being particularly hectic days. Friday was
highlighted with a maximum win bet at 9/4 by Rick of Handicap Snip on Kettle
Hill (11/8 SP), which was also tipped by Northern Monkey, a big win bet on My
Little Tip picked by the Prophet, and a big each way punt on Rhythmic Intent at
8/1 from Keith Sobey (KSTIPS). It was just a really good day which was
incredibly busy for a Friday. I could celebrate though, because unusually for a
Friday I wasn’t drinking as I was driving to Yorkshire to visit my Mum’s early
on Saturday morning.
Saturday wasn’t as busy as hectic Friday; the main focus of
the day was the Stewards Cup. Northern Monkey had gone massive on Hurricane
Ivor, ante post in singles and combined with another couple of winners in
doubles. I’d visited my Mums on the Saturday morning, so on getting back home,
it was with great excitement that I watched the recording of the early races.
Well, it looked a bit of a struggle, but the money was won, as Hurricane Ivor
battled to a tenacious win. Wow, what a win, and my money was won for the
weekend.
Other notable wins last weekend, came from Elite Rugby, with
a near faultless set of results in the NRL. Its always great to have a winning
rugby bet before the racing starts. Special mention has also to be given to
Roger Bush and West Country Racing, who has had some incredible recent results,
with Dante View a winner at 10/1 being only one of many long odds winners.
Anyway, this weekend looks like being all about the Ayr Gold
Cup and already my main man Northern Monkey is building up a position to
hopefully pull of another big chop.
Until next week………..
