The First Successful Silkie Terrior Tipster in the World.   

Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog.
Last time I told you an inspiring story this time I am going to give you a method that I have not fully tested yet but shows promise. I want you to remember that one or two astute bets in a day is the way to build a large bank. One juicy bone in the kennel is all you need....do it consistently and you can be a big winner.  Lets talk in units...one unit is what suits your betting....it might be one dollar , two dollars or ten thousand dollars.
These are my rules for harness, dogs or gallops..
1 Set a winning target of 5 units...when you reach that stop investing for that period. You might start again in 3 hours or the next day.
2. Set a losing target of 6 units then stop & wait for the next betting period.
 3. Consider only those runners paying less than $11.00.
4. Only in of fields 12 or  less for the gallops, 10 or less for the trots & 8 or less for the dogs.
5. Look at the firmers from two minutes out  to 30 seconds before actual start on the local stateTote only.
6. If only one firmer back it to win for 1 unit.
7. If two firmers back both to win for 1 unit each..
8. If 3 or more firmers go on to the next race.
9. Take no less than $1.80
10. Test this method on paper & only bet if you are confident of a profit. Be patient & add a little to your bank each day. Watch it compound. Only 3 % of your bank in any one race.

The First Successful Silkie Terrior Tipster in the World.   

 Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog.
This time I am going to tell you the inspiring story of a lady whose dream it was to win

the Melbourne Cup. Her name is Wendy Green and she was a schoolteacher at

Casuarina in the Northern Territory. Her parents bred a horse on their farm just south of

Perth. They sold the horse to Wendy & her brother for $13,000 as they wanted to race

him. The horse had some success in WA country cups and the siblings were offered

$200,000 for the horse and as her brother needed his half at the time wanted to sell the

conveyance overseas.. Wendy wanted to keep racing as she had a dream but not

much financial backing to follow it through. Somehow she got together the $100,000 to

buy the horse outright from her  brother. She sent the horse to Bart Cummings to win

the Melbourne Cup! Bart got the horse 2 months before the Cup & 3 weeks out he was

a despised 250 to 1 outsider. Bart called Wendy `Wendy in Wonderland’ but a few

days before the Cup the horse came good and won a lead up race. It is history that

Rogan Josh the horse Wendy Green  named after a Curry went on to win the 1999

Melbourne Cup. It took Wendy and her husband 2 months to get back home to Darwin

showing the Cup off at every pub on the road from Melbourne to Darwin !!

 Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
OK last time I advised all my readers to only try & break even in your mind & in reality watch your profits grow !! Never be motivated by greed.
A good way to hold on to your profits is to set a target for the day & stop when it has been achieved. If you are having $10 bets stop when you have won 5 times this amount. Yes stop when you are $50+ in front. If you are having $100 bets stop when you are $500+ in front. You can then drop down to a much smaller bet or go onto plan B or just have some fun. If you want to just keep gamble gamble gamble for fun then the odds are stacked against you.With the target strategy....here is a good method for the trots and dogs.
1. If there is an odds on favourite or more than 10 runners... skip the race.
2. Only look at the first 3 favourites on the home tote & only runners paying less than $6.90.
3. Eliminate any runner thats not no. 12378 at the dogs or 12349,or10 at the trots.
4. Back the big firmer of the remainder but only if price offered is $3.50 plus. If you can... get a Betfair Account for better prices.

JANUARY 2012 ISSUE

Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
For the New Year I am going to tell you a secret & I hope you will never forget it !! You

will never profit from your racing hobby unless you remember this every minute. It is the

opposite to what most think and here it is.
When making a racing investment `never ever be motivated by greed.’ Thats it !
Here’s why. 1/The bookmaker relies on the punter to balance his book by sending out

price lures so punters will be tempted by greed to place an investment on very risky

long shot chances.
2/The bookmaker relies on irrational thinking based on greed (or the easy way out) from

the punter who has had a few losses in a row.
3/Greed motivation takes your eye off the ball by thinking only of the final destination &

not considering how you are going to get there. It is nothing more than a wish.
The successful method is to use solid reasoning & back solid chances. Aim to break

even & have fun & you will be surprised at how your wins will accumulate.

DECEMBER ISSUE

The First Successful Silkie Terrior Tipster in the World.    Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
My sister Suzie told me to back Fillies & Maresthe next start after winning first up from a spell.
At first I said `no way Suzie’ because first up winners frequently run below par the next 2 or 3 starts after a first up win (better class horses excepted). On further study however I found that she had something here.....yes indeed Fillies & Mares often do perform well second up after a win from a spell.
This is what you could try & see for yourself.
Go through the morning paper & mark down all the fillies & mares running second up after a first up win.  Provided she has a reasonable barrier &weight.....then back her each way or if you like straight out for a win. Now here are some horses to follow from `The Fireman’ from Northampton WA....First Flight a middle distance runner from Perth. ...also Tally Ho from Brisbane and Sovereign Risk a special from Melbourne.... both sprinters.  Ted the Trackman has noticed good trackwork by Pergola, Balavan, Inherited and Barbeau all in Melbourne. Hope you got the $25 paid out on Sophies Spirit on Melbourne Cup Day !

 OCTOBER ISSUE

When I was a pup I saved all year & paid a very honest gentleman from Tasmania $100 for this Harness Horse system !! It was proven over thousands of races & I believe him. In those days I never had the patience to wait...because sometimes you did need to wait but it throws up good winners. Here it is for you & for free !!
Look at the ratings on TattsBet at the Harness Races. Back the runner between rating 65 & 100 that won its last start. If no runner qualifies take the one that ran second at its last start. Then if no qualifier go down to 4th then 5th. If you get 2 or more qualifiers back the one with the longest odds. Back for a win. This method was tested over thousands of races & made good profits.
Make sure you have a staking plan & a bank to start with & a reserve bank.Now hereare some horses to follow from `The Fireman’ from Northampton WA. King Lionheart & Chieftain both stayers. And Arizona Miss and Sophies Spirit both sprinters.

And here are Ted the Trackman's Tips for Melbourne only....all with winning gallops on the track:

The Counterfeiter, Tariana, Miss Chatter, Testacanna and  Bullbars.

Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
Last time I gave you a method that helps to detirmine whether a runner is expected to

improve over & beyond the public expectation.
This time I am going to tell you about a neat lettle method for the greyhounds. With the

greyhounds about 70% of the pool goes on in the last 90 seconds of betting !! And greyhounds as a rule start 30-60 seconds later than the advertised starting time. This all means that meaningful price moves happen very late in the betting. Sure you will see big firmers before that but it only takes $10 or $20 to alter the price of a longshot 5 minutes before the race starts. Heres the method.....Note the numbers of the first 3 favourites exactly one minute before start time. Now just before the dogs start going into the boxes (or at the minus 30second mark) note any new runner that has moved into the top three. This is your meal ticket. Back him to win provided his odds are at least $3.50. I don’t bet below that as it only takes a little bump to spoil your runners chances. Not many bets with this but good winners at surprising odds.  ..Syd the Punting Dog

MAY ISSUE

Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
Last time I told you about the staking plans &  your Punting Bank. If you dont have these two you are only contributing to the pool !! Now remember with some systems you may only have to win a very low percentage of winners....ie if your average priced winner is paying $8.00 you only have to win one race in 7 to make a profit !! Most punters give up on their system after a few losers. It is easy for a profitable system to have 20 losers in a row !! Winners don’t come at exactly the right spaced out intervals for you ......more likely you might get 3 winners ina row then a run of outs. Successful punters have a dedicated punting bank
that is big enough to withstand their longest possible losing run ...3 times over !!Another mistake us punters can make is to go out expecting to win big dollars from a small investment. Many get hooked into this way of betting after some early success but in the long run the law of averages will catch up with you. Always bet wisely within your system, staking plan & bank & you will always be on track overall.

Hi  I'm Syd the Punting Dog. 
Last time I told you about the 5% staking  plan and the idea of a Punting Bank. If you are a Punting Dog like me you need to have both to be a profitable punter. Its all about your psychology as a bettor & sensible money management.Its also about not panicking when you strike a losing run. ! Now let me tell you about your punting Bank which you set aside for your intelligent racing investments. First of all work out how much you have been able to afford to lose comfortably in the past.  Now if you do what I say you will not be donating to the TAB (actually racing industry development & its employees & the government get your losses) anymore - you will be profiting..........
So say you have been donating $20 a week(x52weeks) to the racing industry....this could mean you can set aside a one thousand dollar bank for your now wise investments. Divide this into 3 so you now have 3 x $330 banks. Put 2 banks into an interest bearing account separate from anywhere else & put the other one into your TAB account. Now apply your staking plan & your system to that bank.         .

February-March Issue

Hi I'm Syd the Punting Dog

This month I want to tell you about a Staking

Plan and the idea of a Punting Bank.

If you are a Punting Dog like me you need to

have both to be a profitable punter. Its all

about your psychology as a bettor & sensible

money management.

The Staking Plan I like  (there are many of them) is called the

5% Plan. Its simple... all you do is bet 5% on whatever your bank is. First work out how much you can afford to lose over a period because all punting is a gamble & this includes the stock exchange.

So say you decide on a bank of $200.

Your first bet is $10 ie 5% of $200

if it loses your next bet is 5% of $190 or $9.50 round up to $10
