Pick 5

Do you know how I profit from the horse racing?

...I pick winners!

Hi, I'm Ant Hobson and picking winners might seem too obvious but I'm often amazed by how many people avoid easy wins because the price is too short, or they turn on their gut because its a bit of a long shot or they don't trust their research and its a competitive field so they leave it, only to regret it after the fact....

and those are the tipsters who can actually pick winners and don't.

There's way more who can't pick them but the less said about them the better.

So, how do I pick MY winners?

Well it's not just a single method, I don't just follow a system, I don't just use research, speed ratings and form. I use a whole mix of methods to pick winners. Lets look at a few...

First off there's the Research Method, I look at form, race results over the same distance and at the same course, with the same jockey riding, over the same going (conditions) and a number of other stats.

The research method again isn't one shoe fits all approach. The method changes depending on if we're talking turf racing, all weather racing or jump racing. It changes depending on the weather especially if there are extreme's.

Next up there's my Ones To Watch Method. I watch a lot of racing and there are races when horses don't win but often catch my eye, a strong finish, loads of stamina at the end of the race, mark it down, watch out for it going up in distance or the reverse, a horse looks like its going to win but can't keep it up over the final half furlong, watch for when the horse is doing down in trip. There are loads of things I look for and mark down and when the criteria for these horses aligns I make my picks.

There's a whole host of ways I pick my winners as you can see and these are methods I've developed and fine tuned over many years.

Does this mean I win every bet? Not even close.

I win less than 50% of my bets but I do bet at ALL odds.

Do I back favourites? Yes
Even if they're odds on? Yes
Do I back 20/1 shots? Yes
How about one priced at 50/1? Yes
The horses in-between too? You guessed it, YES!

I don't turn down a winner or a horse that I think is going to win based on odds.

Obviously strike rate is higher on the lower odds horses and lower on the higher odds horses. A 20% win rate at 50/1 and above would be lovely but it's never going to happen.

So how do I make the most out of my bets?

Over the years I've tried many methods but I've fallen in love with the multiples and my choice is the Lucky 31...

31 small bets across 5 selections.

It means small stakes can return huge profits.
It means we get a return for a single winner (not always profit)
It means we can bet from really small stakes and grow as the bank grows.

More chances to win and with every winner picked the returns get bigger and bigger.

Take a look at the returns I've had from bets over the last 2 weeks.

This will give you an idea of what to expect from my service:

I place a £2 Lucky 31, so that's £2 per line, £62 in total.

We started the week with a nice 3/5 winners and a £177.31 profit

One better on Tuesday with 4/5 and a very nice £645.33 profit

Wednesday and Thursday saw no wins on either day. A combined loss of £124 across the 2 days.

Just the 1 winner landed on Thrusday and a £5.50 return but a loss of £56.50 on the day.

We ended the week with a nice 3/4 (one non-runner) for £378.80 profit.

Out of the 6 days we hit 3 profitable days, 3 losing days (2 of which saw no returns).

End results from £2 staked Lucky 31's was a profit of £1,020.94!

How about the week after?

Just 2 winners to start the week and a small profit of £16.00

No winners on the Tuesday and a loss of £62.00

2 winners again on Wednesday but another loss in the bookes, this time £44.17

Finally the winners came and with it a nice day of profit. £303.92

Another 3 winners and bigger profits landed today with £456 banked.

Last day betting for the week and just the one win to end with, loss on the day of £53.60

3 days profit, 3 days loss again this week, only 1 day without any return.

End result was a profit on the week of £616.15

and into Feb...
