Battle Group may not even line up and race,

[Bad Beat]

 It's so sad that Cheltenham, Liverpool, Ascot and the Derby are so rare. It's literally the only time that you could ever run this kind of service as the bookmakers just will not take bets.

 If we tried to run a monthly subscription with bets every day and we charged an amount that would attract the £30 a race punter we might have 200 people trying to all bet £30 on the same 8/1 chance at Ffos Las with Stan James and Bet365. They wouldn't even take £5 off most the people and everyone's accounts would soon get closed, we'd then have to start saying you can take 13/2 and then it's a lot harder to maintain a decent ROI.

 The alternative is to attract £200 a race punters, charge 5x as much and only have a few subscribers but then they really won't have any chance of betting with half the clowns on Oddschecker.

 If you ran a service that gave just a few really strong bets every four or five days then you could easily find things where 4/1 is fine if you missed the 6/1...I bet those things all the time and some people think I must be mad as I didn't get my £3.65 on overnight at 12/1. The problem with that is most people are not that patient...at least 20% of people who subscribed early for Cheltenham or Aintree sent a message in to ask why there were not lots of bets up three days before. I don't think people will pay and wait.

 I'm pretty happy with how it's working right now. It s a lot of work on the actual weeks and I found I didn't work as smoothly as I liked with my own bets because I was busy typing for a few hours. I employ several people to help during the big weeks and I just have to organise better and work smarter.

 In the next few days Ollie and I will be working on the Masters. He has really been in good form on the PGA tour over the last few months and he follows it more than most people I've ever met. The Masters offers such great value and they really do take bets so I'm excited about that. Dave is cracking away on the darts, Joe on the premier and Brodders on the European football. I love following all their stuff and you can read it for free. It's not so sexy backing 10/11 winners but that money is still money won and therefore sweeter than money earned.
 
 I don't see how we can do another horse race before the Derby. Even the Guineas and Oaks have such weak markets.

Thanks guys, I thought I'd never get everything done today. Maybe the write-ups are too long. We have an all-night shop close by that isn't that close (800 yards). They get the papers at 4am. I got there at 3.50am. Stood in the shop waiting until 5am as the bloke was late. Just about got all my bets on and did the write ups but no time to eat or breathe. Still got a dozen texts asking what I fancied...I gave them 1...not the winner.

Personally, I love the detailed write-ups.

If I could change one tiny thing, I'd only like to see the reasons why you think (price/value excepted) you think a selection will win. You detail why you discard every horse (can't win because....) but not why the winner should win.   

I guess, in truth, if you tip 2 nice double-digit winners on a National afternoon, a one word write up would suffice.....

That all sounds fair enough Neil, pretty sure you will streamline it all somehow but it does all seem pretty smooth when reading on the site.That being said it can be frustrating when after paying for a service you are still waiting for bets at noon as normal life has to be set aside, but there are always two sides to a story and by the sounds of it you are not putting your feet up having a cup of tea so swings and swongs and all that.

I certainly love the write ups as well but by force of habit and time restraints if I have arranged something I will always place your recommends first and then go back and read the write up, more so that I can learn a thought process that will be useful for me. Something I would love to see which would be quite easy for you to do is highlight in bold or a background colour your recommends, anything to make them standout so they are quicker to see.

Anyway, big fan of what you and Joe are doing. Great work, hope it's paying off for both of you.

 With the Grand National I had written a lot of reasons detailing why I wouldn't back this and that and suddenly I looked at the clock and it was almost noon. I really wanted to get the race up by 11am and I thought I could take another 20 minutes explaining why I'm backing this 5 or I could get them up now.

 Obviously the small-field stakes races are much easier to do, less horses to write about and the form easier to assess quickly, know most of the horses so well, often there is an established ante-poste market. I always try and do those 1st.

 Yesterday I was coordinating a team of 10 people getting bets on and trying to read everything I could, as well as talking to a couple of other pros. In between that people asked me to get them bets on Football, rugby and a special bet (all of which won). There just aren't enough hours in the day on these big days.

 I have considered using that sound cloud thing and making it audio. What do people think about that?

Yes, I sort of guessed that (ran out of time), and its not a problem, it was just a sort of observation.

I've no idea what "sound cloud" is, but personally, I prefer the written word. I read faster than people talk, and I'm forever short of time. When we read something, our mind, very cleverly, filters out the sort of irrelevant stuff, the stuff that joins up & contextualises, & just reads the "important" bits.

Again, personally, but I very rarely listen to Podcasts or watch You Tube Vids which exceed 3 minutes in length, due either to attention defecit syndrome, or just lack of time. But no matter how long a written piece is, I devour all of it.

Will there be a set of TV BAFTAs tips?

(Have to ask these things...)

[Bad Beat]

Lol. No. I do quite like the BAFTAS, you can't really get a bet on and everyone knows the results though.

 Focus on following Brodders on the footy, Joe's premier footy and Dave on the snooker and the Prem League darts and you should be raking it in lately.

 I believe we are all now in profit.

[JoeBeevers]

A pretty amazing day for us.

Brodders managed 10/12 and an amazing 10 winners from 10 bets in the Portuguese Second Division including winners at odds of 5.25, 4.33 and 5.5. Soccer write ups are currently still free to registered users.

I hope a few Blondes were on.
