It turned out to be a decent birthday weekend, and
fortunately a profitable one. I’ve decided to just concentrate on weekend
betting alone, which is tending to work as it eradicates the weekly dross. The
weekend was spent at my Mums with a visit on Saturday night to Wakefield for a
few beers with Karen.
Ben Linfoot had another blank
weekend with none of his 5 selections even reaching a place, it’s been a poor
run but when you pick larger priced horses like he does, you only need one
winner to turn things around. Fortunately though, a chance email from Tipping
Legends, led to me rejoining for November 2014 (It was their annual charity
month). I missed an 11/1 winner Jeremiah tipped on Friday, but after much
deliberation decided to put his Saturday bet on. I was at my Mums for the
weekend, and eventually decided to put the £25e/w bet on Latenightevent at 20/1 at a bookies in Pontefract whilst she
did a bit of shopping. It was really touch and go whether I was going to put in
on, but having had a decent run recently I decided to go for it.
My intention was to avoid the racing results and watch it
when I returned home on the Sunday however, checking my phone on Sunday morning
I was greeted with the fabulous news that the horse had romped home and
therefore after a quick trip to Pontefract to collect my £650, I was cash rich
once again. It just goes to show, that you only need one winner to
make the weekend pay.
This weekend looks like being a massive weekend with the
Breeders Cup being the centre piece on Friday and Saturday as well as the first
proper weekend of National Hunt Racing. Also, I am not in on work on Monday, and
I then start my new contract on Tuesday, so it’s all pretty eventful, and that’s
not considering the start of the Cheltenham ante post service on Monday.
