My old local was a bit rough round the edges, not really somewhere for a nice meal with the family more farmhands and fortified wine, but it had a great atmosphere. Good tunes in the jukebox too.
All different now though. Gradually became more like a restaurant than a boozer.
Unfortunately, the magic formula will only make small but regular profits. To make a living from it (lets say £2k a month) I'd have to invest maybe ten times as much, and I know my nerves wouldnt stand it, and that would affect judgement, and that would affect the magic formula!
Im trying to complete the 66 race tracks of GB. So spent Tuesday at Exeter, today at Newton Abbot, tomorrow at Cheltenham, Sunday at Wincanton, Wednesday at Taunton and Thursday at Ffos Las.
That should leave me with 15 to do I think, so should complete next year.
All small stakes at the moment as the 'magic formula' doesn't involve betting on jump racing!
I've always been a numbers guy, betting where the bookie prices are higher than the true odds and the fact it was horse racing didn't really even come in to it as I just saw it as streams of numbers.
Then I decided that to take it to the next level I needed to combine that approach with actual horse racing knowledge. Surely if I can do well just using numbers, then if I can get the numbers and further filter them I can only do better? So I've been learning every day since April and I still feel like I know absolutely nothing haha.

With that knowledge behind you and your ability with numbers there should be no stopping you!
Great stuff. They're obviously old books but if you're anything like me you will pick them up regularly and like you say, you will always find something new.
To test your skills I suggest you go over to the OLBG website and enter the tipping competitions. For no cost to you whatsoever you can literally win thousands. I have won over a grand myself and that's mediocre compared to what some are hitting. It gives a good introduction to hone your skills without losing any money.
Just remember they're animals and the better horses are more consistent, whereas the lesser talented can be complete rogues who can be good on their day and can't be arsed on another!
For me, selection of the right kind of race and making sure my brain is right for form studying are the two most crucial factors. That means no distractions and not letting emotions get in the way. If you're distracted or pissed off about something or feeling ill then you will see that your judgments will give you less winners. Obvious when you think about it.
Right kind of race for me means flat racing (because why would you bet seriously on a race where the horse is expected to jump a big fence?) and anything that's not really low class (class 5 or 6) and races over 1m2f over further. With sprints over 5f or 6f they are going so fast that even the slightest error can cost the horse its chances.
Anyway, I'm trying not to hijack my own thread! But pm me if you need any help or opinion and go and win some cash on OLBG!
