Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
If you were a seriously cynical type you would swear that Grant Dixon drove Tims A Trooper to get the long odds on favorite Attachment beaten in race 7 at Albion Park on Saturday night, and perhaps to set it up for the winner Dashing too. Given Dixon’s industry wide reputation as a straight shooter […]
The sightings of Australia’s most widely travelled punter Baldy never stop, and the places he turns up at always amaze. This weekend just gone he was spotted at Jundah on the Saturday, and Charleville on Sunday. For those not familiar with Jundah it’s way out west of QLD near Birdsville, not far from the SA […]
I have come to realize at an old age that fishing is metaphor for life. Who knows what lies on top or beneath? We went out on the boat yesterday and caught a few Mangrove Jacks. Coming back in along the river my mate said look over there. And I spotted this. She is a […]
Australia’s favorite punter David ‘Baldy Frolley’ has been to almost every race track in Australia, and declares that he will do them all before he dies, which gives him plenty of time to make it. But he will have to do it in new wheels. You see sadly Baldy’s old chariot carked it just before […]
You are going to hear a lot of heart wrenching stories about the Newcastle Knights this week, and about how they are going to win the NRL Grand Final. Don’t believe a word of them. The Roosters are absolute certainties. Toia and Radley will take out Ponga, shut him down and out of the game. […]
You wouldn’t have wanted to be a trot punter chasing a cheap multi with either or both of Grant Dixon’s odds on shots in it at Albion Park on Tuesday. Fredidrivsamercury was the first one. It started at $1.28. Anyone who took it was mad, for Fredi was a 3yo taking on older horses, and […]
Know how many races that you could bet on today with corporate bookmakers if you wanted do, or if you were a totally addicted gambler after a never ending fix and had the cash to get it? 955. Here is the breakdown of them. 62 domestic gallops 375 international gallops 116 domestic greyhounds 199 international […]
An asymmetrical return is a favorable risk-reward skew where you make substantially more when you are right than you lose when you are wrong. Investing strategies based on this approach focus on identifying opportunities where the potential upside significantly outweighs the potential downside, thereby creating a favourable risk-reward scenario. Which is why I think the […]
I like a number of other punters on the weekend got the first three legs of the Eagle Farm quaddie right, and had the top three of Tony Gollan’s four runners going for a good collect in the last. The one Gollan horse that we/I left out was the 40-1 shot Millane, not just because […]
Fratianno started at $1.35 in race 2 at Tuncurry yesterday. Those who backed it at those odds must have been absolutely off their heads. Prior to this race this horse had started 19 times without a win, and had proven itself a nonnie (non-winner) beyond compare, with a heart the size of a pea. It […]
