I've only fairly recently discovered ATR Hugh Taylors tips http://www.attheraces.com/article.aspx?hlid=497771&lid=&raceid=&title=Hugh+Taylor&ref=Nav+-+Default+Sub&nav=&sub=&day=
He's had quite a good run of late and I've had a bit of time at home recently and been able to try and get a bet on at advised prices. Despite me being quick off the mark, tuned in to twitter and all that; it has been difficult. My experience is that the prices at Paddy Power, Boylesports and B365 have been cut before you can get there. My experiences with Ladbrokes and Betfred have been better, until today.
I should explain that I'm not a heavy punter (particularly with other peoples tips) and after years of losing I am probably turning over a small profit in recent years no doubt due to better competition of early prices, the advent of exchanges and specialising a bit more on things I'm good at rather than punting on football!
So today I was very quick off the mark and managed to get 20/1 about Hughs tip Anddante at Newcastle. I asked for whole £10 e/w with Betfred. Result; limited to £4.15 e/w.
Does anyone actually manage to get a reasonable bet on Hughs selections?
I wouldn't be backing his tips blind, as he says himself look at his reasons for going for his selections, that's the way to use his tips, get his insights and use your own judgement to decide what's feels right and what's a pure hunch. That's the way I go about my business but I do rate Hugh, of all the free tipsters about he is the benchmark for me. Hope that was of help to you.
ReplyDeleteTrust your own opinions first and foremost but by all means dip into Hugh's way of thinking to improve yourself.
All Right Now in the 3.20 at Southwell is the one you'd want to be backing today from Hugh's selections. Forget the 1pt bets, it's when he steps up his ante, that's when you need to come out and play.
ReplyDeleteFrom my experience all firms impose limits or close your account if you are taking them out by the roots. Bet365 will lay you a decent bet until as such time as you get the run on them, then it's curtains. I have a friend who would be a big hitter but truth be told a real chump in the way he conducts his punting affairs. Despite my best efforts to educate him, he continues on his compulsive way. I have used him to get on some bets with the firms from time to time, he has no problem accomodating my stakes which would be reasonable amounts. That's the way of the firms, they will always take bets from whom they perceive to be mugs. The danger here is that if your mate runs out of chips then you have a problem of a different sort. The chap I use is ring fenced in so far as he's a weekend punter in the main as his work concentrates his mind midweek. Being a big earner, his punting is purely recreational.
ReplyDeleteHugh made a cracking case for JOVIALITY in the Musidora today at York. I have copied it to here, read it and see the level of analysis he does, that's the benchmark for me. Over to you Hugh, The Musidora Stakes (2.30) is one of the feature events on a cracking opening day of the Dante meeting, and it’s probably been quite a tricky one for the layers to price up, with Nell Gwyn winner/1000 Guineas fifth Barefoot Lady the clear form pick, but also more exposed than her rivals and yet to try this sort of trip (though she shapes as if well worth a try at it). Arizona Jewel heads the market after winning her maiden in good style and she’s undoubtedly promising, but at the prices JOVIALITY makes most appeal. Time may show that she was really up against it, even in receipt of 9lb, when beaten by Naqshabban at Sandown last time, and she ran a good race despite still looking green on what was only her second start, staying on again in the closing stages to suggest that this step up in trip would suit. Although trainer John Gosden has a lot of three-year-old fillies entered in the Coronation Stakes and the Oaks, it might be significant that Joviality is the only one he has entered in the all-aged Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh next month (the race closed three weeks ago), which could be interpreted as a suggestion that the stable sees her as the pick of his 3yo fillies; that would be interesting, as Gosden’s Skip Away was beaten only a length and a half by Arizona Jewel on her racecourse debut in that Sandown race. The possible concern for Joviality might be temperament, as she is a half-sister to Burns Night, who definitely has his quirks, and she has raced keenly on both starts to date and carried her head a shade high last time, but hopefully that was just greenness and she can start to fulfil her potential here.
