i think a few of you missed the point, I put the 200 on the nose, when I am given a solid tip, (I usually get 6-7 a year), not every race day punting which nowadays amounts to sfa in comparison to the old days.
My other source is a 1,000 dollar place bet, not related to the tips and more an exercise, again this happens less than 3-4 times a year. It used to be a fortnightly thing in the old days but the strain wears you down ...
I don't really care how you guys see value or that market bullshite, gawd I have seen those b/s systems and knowing men for years, all b/s.
I know its really all about the horse, jockey, and the drug ...
