Our Info: Gives you the edge
Bookmakers generally win because they are not gambling - they are mathmeticians, and offset their liabilities based on which horses are being backed - whichever horse wins they are pretty much going to come out laughing. Most people are using nothing other than a little form analysis and luck to decide which horse to back. This is where Martin Bishop Racing differs...
Information from where it matters
By using a vast array of contacts across the horse racing industry built up over 35 years, our selections are not based on previous outings, but what is going on off the course - where it really matters.
Through my 35 years experience working within the horse racing industry I have developed a list of friends, acquaintances and contacts that include owners, trainers, jockeys, stable hands, and some of the most prominent figures within the horse racing industry today. It affords me a massive head-start with horse selection and priceless information often directly from horse racing yards across the country on the day of a particular race.
Tipping the balance in our favour
We know about many of the gambles that go on before it's too late, whilst the price is still available and give the information out daily at 11am, this means that we often take the bigger prices as the odds on our selections normally shorten.
No horse is a dead cert, and anyone who tells you any different is lying. We are talking about animals and there are so many variables that on the day anything could happen. What we are doing is making sure that consistently we are using information that is much more closer aligned to what's going on away from the course as opposed to the more traditional methods of looking at what has happened in previous runs. This swings the odds in our favour...
It's not only the bookies who are mathmeticians, we are mathmeticians too, and the fact is if you consistently back horses that should be a shorter price, you will come out in profit. It is a system that has seen us return 11 out of 12 profitable months (as of the end of June 2009), and shown a consecutive profit for 8 months in a row.
For the first 6 months of 2009 (January to June), we have returned a total profit of 444 points across all our selections. That equates to a massive £44,400 profit at £100/point. Even at a more modest £25/point it is still £11,100 profit, and that's even if you never increase the amount you bet.
Typical things we analyze, and information we receive each day:
- Is a Horse really out to win the race?
- Or is it just out for some experience and some time on a race course?
- How is the horse running on gallops?
- How have preparations been going?
- What do the stable jockeys report?
- What does the trainer think?
Simple information - worth its weight in gold that gives us the edge...
So, is that it?
No! We are not a get rich scheme, and the reality is any scheme that promises massive rewards always has massive risks - not something that we recommend taking. We strongly recommend a calculated points based staking system that goes hand in hand with our selections:
