David Pipe - Trainer In Focus

David Pipe had some extremely big shoes to fill when he took over the training licence at Pond House. His father is fifteen times champion trainer Martin Pipe. Enough said.

 

Stephen over at Betting Expert has penned an enthralling piece on David Pipe, well worth a read.

 

David Pipe - Trainer In Focus [...]

 

The Pipe stable has been enjoying a welcome run of form recently, so this article is 'hot contents' at the moment.

 

 

Stephen's article discusses stable star Grands Crus, and presents some interesting statistics on the yard's performance over the last 5 years.

 

In his early days Martin Pipe had a reputation as something of a gambling stable before he came to dominate the sport like noone before, and the Pond House operation under David is certainly a yard to follow when the cash is down.

Are You An Investor, Or A Gambler?

Do you have what it takes to be a successful punter? I'm talking long term, not just between now and Christmas.

 

Betfair accredited trainer Jonathan Burgess writes at his blog False Favourites and recently he asked that very question in a post you can read at this link.

 

Are you an investor or a gambler? [...]

 

I wanted to share this with you today, as the discussion about two emails from two customers really struck a chord with me.

 

 

Jonathan examines why some punters make a long term profit, whilst others struggle. He suggests it boils down to an ability to follow instructions. Do you agree?

 

....if you had to cross shark infested water, it would make sense to follow someone one who has already done it successfully wouldn’t it?

 

What I think the piece demonstrates above all, is that we all have different betting personalities.

Betting Profits Throughout The Winter All-Weather Season

Speed ratings have proven to be one of my most potent strategies for highlighting winners, and I've found they work best right now, during the winter season. Furthermore, I've found I can achieve better profits when I focus solely on racing at the all-weather tracks, largely because of the consistency afforded by standard Going conditions.

 

Lee Greenhill over at Horse Spy has written a superb piece on the use of speed figures with all-weather racing.

 

Read Lee's Top Tips for the All-Weather Horse Racing Season [...]

 

Lee has taken the time to differentiate turf form ffrom all-weather form, and I can persoanlly vouch for the value of doing this.

 

 

The post discusses in detail how to calculate speed figures, and also takes a look at how weight affects your ratings.

 

Once I’ve determined that a horse’s performance can be classed as underestimated or overestimated against the same class of animal, I have a slight edge on the market with my opinion of how future races will pan out.

5 Tips For Dealing With Bookies Restrictions

We shouldn't gloss over the issue of bookmakers restricting the accounts of winning punters. It's easy to say the problem doesn't exist, but it does.

 

I found this article posted recently by Paul Ruffy at Betting Profits Bulletin which gives some valuable advice on avoiding account closures and restrictions.

 

Read Paul's article in full here [...]

 

Paul starts his article by explaining a little about his own betting advisory service. But forgive the self-promotion (by the way, Paul's service has received many a positive comment by the Secret Betting Club), and read on and you'll soon get to the advice in question.

 

 

Even for the punter that is just starting out and betting in the £5 to £25 range its important to take steps to safeguard accounts the best you can, from an early stage.

 

But how many tips services can actually say that the main reason people stop subscribing is because bookmakers no longer want their subscribers business?

 

Have you had your accounts restricted in the past, or closed completely?

 

 

 

 

Essential Guide To All-Weather Racing

Jonathan Burgess explains the differences between the four all-weather tracks here in the UK.

 

Let's talk about Kempton, Lingfield, Southwell, and Wolverhampton [...]

 

The most apparent difference is in the two surfaces, Polytrack and Fibresand.

 

 

Jonathan also examines the course layouts and how this can affect the horse's performance, as well as draw bias.

 

On the all-weather courses, it is very important that horses are able to hold their position. It’s much harder to win from off the pace.

 

If you haven't heard about my book Patterns In The Sand it's a guide to speed ratings on all-weather tracks in the UK.
