Big Mikes Wednesday Thoughts and Live Blog Bet

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

SO close to a record 509/1 double yesterday. I always say ‘expect the unexpected’ and so it proved as Desert Soul was backed down to 1.8 in running. One thing amazed me. NO brown envelopes up there and the frame remained a ‘belter’ for us.

The column went to over 300 people yesterday. If say 60 had followed the bet via bet365.com using Best Odds Guaranteed then that firm would have been looking at a liability of over £100,000 and even worse many members would have had their accounts closed. So the lesson is still to spread the bets about a bit – change your User names as well as remember if you use the same User at each bookmaker it is not difficult for the rogues to access your ‘History’.

One of my members has informed me that he has had the big red ‘closure’ from vcbet.com even though he has been only betting there since BOG was introduced by that firm. Another lesson to spread the bets about. They dont want this crafty betting at all – only kids, gamblers and slot players. So take remedial action.

Hughie Warranty. I was asked by a long standing member who just plays the Hughies if I would extend the Turbo Warranty to Quarterly payers. I am happy to do so and therefore will ask Luan to make the necessary amendmentst to the Service notes. So in short the Hughie Warranty is extended now to BOTH Quarterly & Annual membership. IF the Turbos/Hughies dont cover the subscription cost for the relevant period then the following period – whether quarterly or annual will be FREE. I cant do the Monthly Warranty though as its not realistic for me as I will be taking time off during some of the months. I dont think you will find a Warranty like that with any other service. I believe that I have been more than fair with this offer. Mr & Mrs Marsland will be looking for a new home in September 2010 unless these bets perform! I do hope to have the last laugh though!

Another very hard day in terms of trappy racing so again very little from me. I am playing an expansive combo which may produce as they contain a number of noted horses. Small stakes ONLY please.

One Live Blog Bet from me today an £8 Hughie (A bet on the horse to finish placed i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and is played via Betfair’s place markets)

£8 Place only on Spiders Star 320 Cat (Great efforts this term and trainer doing very well with his small string. Will be the one to beat as generally so consistent.) Pitching at 1.40

Price at the end is price to take or if pitching and if not taken then bet 5 mins pre race at best. Obviously take care & adjust when drifting substantially or if horses taken out.

Big Mikes Saturday Thoughts and Live Blog Bet

Saturday, August 22nd, 2009

BREAKING NEWS. VERY exciting stuff indeed.

Starsky has penned notes on the Forum for some time and the good news is that he is now joining the BM service from 1st September as a ‘bolt on’ extra within the service. He will be arranging for his own Starsky column DAILY which will be sent out by my girl Friday Luan.

She will be sending out details later but the service will be strictly limited to just 20 or so members on an additional monthly sub basis of £29.99. In effect BMB will be rewarding Starsky via this extra sub for his efforts. The Starsky ‘Bolt On’ will be available to full paying 2009/10 members ONLY but on a severely restricted first come first served basis Luan will email more details later today.

Stirring stuff indeed. Hope to be in the Chatroom as soon as possible if interested in following the Test Match. May also do some Horse Trading if time. Get down there if you can as I hate talking to myself.

Terrific day for the membership on Friday with doubles at 27/1, 25/1, 14/1 etc and IF Raines Cross had deigned to place instead of finishing 4th the £150+ return on the Combo would have been over £1000. Such is life but it shows that even in this very hard month for punters we can still conjure up some profits.

One astute member in the Chatroom played a yankee on the first four selections and picked up £390. He also followed it up with my Huddersfield Rugby bet suggestion last night. So well pleased for him and as he said – he has nearly paid his subs for next year. I like members like that LOL.

The only problem he has is that he supports Spurs but when the BIG Manchester club visit them later in the season he may have to change his allegiance! The smell of money at Middle Eastlands is such that even the Cleaners are having elocution lessons. These are absolutely crazy times for we very long suffering Citeh fans. Citeh being Citeh would be an automatic lay against Wolves today!

OK – now the Test Match. I have squared the trades again and started afresh and the moves will be in the Chatroom today.

The lays. To keep updating the RP selections is a big task so I am abandoning it from today. I think we are talking about a tiny loss overall of between £1 and £10 in the three weeks. HOWEVER the Kite is easier to operate for me as we are talking about ONE selection and generally that is VERY short and thus very profitable when losing so I will continue with this lay each day. Immense profits so far. There is one today.

A few which interest me today so playing ‘The Dirty Dozen’ Combination bet instead of the Buzzer/Bernie.

Shaunee. I havent heard from Shaun just yet but if he is posting his FOOTBALL speciality bet it will be on the Forum.

One Live Blog Bet from me today an £4 Hughie (A bet on the horse to finish placed i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and is played via Betfair’s place markets)

£4 to place on Waveband 220 Rip (Best form on offer here and still improving. Tamseem hasnt beaten much home yet but still a threat but every chance here with the Mark Johnston horse.) Pitching at 1.38

Price at the end is price to take or if pitching and if not taken then bet 5 mins pre race at best. Obviously take care & adjust when drifting substantially or if horses taken out.

Big Mikes Friday Thoughts and Live Blog Bet

Friday, August 21st, 2009

The new season is fast approaching and I will be sending out terms in the next few days. Luan – bless her – will be looking after all the admin but always email if you are encountering problems. As you know I am offering a warranty on all Hughies & Turbos which will pay for the annual sub or – I will then send the 2010/11 column for the year for FREE. I cany afford to do that so it should be a good year!

Prices have not altered as the new Server can accommodate more members and on top of that I am also allowing Members who have been with the Service for over 12 months a loyalty bonus of £100 or £10 per month. Annual payers can revert to Monthly subs BUT they will not enjoy the warranty I have posted above.

Rugby League. Not many joined in last night on the live trade. Cracking game and the teams read the script with the score in favour of the teams playing down the slope was something like 50-10. Trading was eclectic and one of my members netted £50 plus as well as landing the original bet as well. Great stuff and pleased for those who joined in. Sports Trading IS the way to go.

More cheating in Horse Racing and sadly one of the yards close to me was involved. Corrybrough 425 Ling was 1.33 on the place (correct price) 12 minutes pre race. The horse was 1.67 just before the off! What does that tell you? The horse looked in a good position 2 furlongs out but then O’Neills magic hands managed a place well down the field.

The horse was not 100% I admit (as expected) but I didnt expect the blatant cheating pre race. I apologise to all have followed this yard for many years and I am deeply saddened. Candy has a live hope at York today but cannot for the life of me put up as an ew bet even though the horse is strongly fancied. What a let down. Corrybrough will go onto better things this season – mark my words.

One Live Blog Bet from me today an £8 Hughie (A bet on the horse to finish placed i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and is played via Betfair’s place markets)

£8 to place on Expressive 845 Wolv (Falbrav filly & Goes well for this lad and given an easy debut here back in May. I’m uncertain of what Prescotts plans are and
I view that as apossible ‘Shyster’ bet if he so wants.) pitched at 1.35

Price at the end is price to take or if pitching and if not taken then bet 5 mins pre race at best. Obviously take care & adjust when drifting substantially or if horses taken out.
