March highlights: CUE CARD was my Festival “banker” and he paid the way, enabling the blog to finish the month in profit. We came close with a number of selections at the Festival and, with a bit of luck, it could have been very profitable.

April

05April13: CUE CARD. 1pt win @ 7/1, 2^nd = (1pt)

06April13: GRANDS CRUS: 1pt win @ 6/1, UP = (1pt)

Monthly figures to date = (4.0625pts), Season total to date = +53.675pts

No winner of the Grand National given, but we did get the 2^nd horse home in CAPPA BLEU. As such, the blog stands at a season profit of 53.675pts which, if I say so myself, is a great performance from a free blog with a maximum stake of 2pts.

I have written before that I think I give good value with this blog.

I post it online well before any of my selections are due to run and I tell readers how much to place, the bet type and which bookie to go to. I send out a "tweet" via twitter as soon as I post the blog so that you don't have to sit by your computer.  You don't need to register or use any passwords to read my blog, and there is no charge for the information. I am not a prolific tipster: I do not post 8 to 10 selections a day hoping that 1 or 2 will win (and then announce that I've made you a profit of perhaps 2pts on an outlay of 12 to 15 points or more). I don't just provide a list of horse names and race-times. The narrative provided says why I think a horse will win and why I think it is value at the odds available. I understand that the majority of punters out there want to have a "bet" a couple of times a week on a couple of horses on which they can lay-out £20 to £50 with a reasonable likelihood of getting a return, and I try and satisfy that person – they are my target audience.

Thanks for reading this blog and I hope you get enjoyment from it.
