It’s the Winning Bet that Counts

Monday, December 5th, 2011

Big Mikes Monday Column

A very good weekend and it shows that when backing each way you can have 4 horses failing to win yet STILL a good profit is obtained. `Its the winning bet which counts`.

The Rugby turned out OK and tonight I intend to play a trade in the
Football at Craven Cottage. If doing so I will post scores on the Forum Chatroom about 730 pm. All welcome.

Quieter day all round today and no bets in Sussex for me – just sticking to Musselburgh.

Following the results of a recent feedback survey, conducted with many
of my past and present members and to help combat this continuing
recession, I’ve decided to do something to help my members by slashing my membership fees at Big Mike Betting.

In-case you missed last weeks announcement here are the much improved (for the member) membership fees;

New member first month half price offer was £29 – Now reduced to just
£19.97.

New member best value 2 for 1 month offer was £59 – Now reduced to just £39.97.

Monthly Membership was £69 a month – Reduced to just £39.97 a month.

Quarterly Membership was £189 a month – Reduced to just £109.97 a quarter.

Annual Membership was £599 a year – Reduced to just £397 a year.

Weekend & Sports Bets Membership was £35 a month – Reduced to £19.97 a
mth.

(I think you will agree that in these troubling times, I am taking a very realistic and pragmatic approach to the subject of my membership fees)

My bets today :-

Usual mines at 1.21 and 1.11

3 x £5 ew doubles & £5 ew treble

Kaolak 12:50 Musselburgh 7/2
Demolition 13:20 Musselburgh 9/4

Big Mike’s Saturday Betting Thoughts

Saturday, December 4th, 2010

Latest figures just in from the Independent Compiler and we are ahead by £6386 since 1st September. Not much change from Novembers figures and my endeavour will continue to be to retain that balance as much as possible and try & increase by 50% over the remaining 9 months or so. In keeping with that my bets today over at my paid for service, total a stake of about 1% of that profit – so you will understand how I feel about this All Weather stuff. Spread sheets available to all as usual. Just email & I will forward.

The Test is going well for England and again your only Trade at this juncture is to level the profit on England and the draw and leave Australia on zero. I was asked yesterday why my trades are relatively small in size. The answer is very simple. I have members who bet x10 stakes on the suggested strength on the Trades and one intrepid Trader who bet x100 (on the Cricket – may I add). So its your choice.

Little more to add except please stay tuned to the Forum & Chatroom – there are no idiots on there like the Betfair forum – just a few professionals and like minded traders who will help with any queries. Firstly Kens first leg of the Chandler Acca has won so its important you follow his lays to protect the profit and he will use his thread there to inform. Also Neil posted this yesterday which I found very funny :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu7i5CJq3mg&feature=player_embedded

Big Mike’s Daily Betting Advice & Horse Racing Each Way Double

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Tuesday Thought’s

Just a quickie today – no this is not Wayne Rooney speaking its Big Mike.

Can only find 6 I like for my members daily betting column so far and two of those from one trainer – but in one I trust – however if there is a pre race drift – beware!

Talking of drifts – there was a big one yesterday on Apache Warrior which gave cause for concern and of course the horse finished 5th. I am entrusting George Moore (said Trainer) with another today in the hope it was a one off yesterday inspired by the money from Richard Fahey for his horse which duly won.

Big Mike’s Friday Thoughts and Live Blog Bet

Friday, November 27th, 2009

There is a lot more to betting than just Horse Racing and we have had a super season so far with the sports bets so try & use a bit of your betting bank for sports bets as I feel it would be money wisely put aside.

Currently I am reproducing some interesting stats re the Rugby Union bets I play relating to fewer tries in each match this season which will suit us fine as far as a defensive protection is concerned.

Please don’t gamble when there is no need and protection can be offered in a bet. Always try new tactics for stake recovery.

The days when you just make a bet for the sake of it are long gone. Often you should use all the mechanics available to protect your stake more.

Just one Live Blog Bet from me today a £12 Hughie (A bet on the horse to finish placed i.e. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and is played via Betfair’s place markets)

£12 place only on Henry King 345 Newbury (VERY unfortunate at Wincanton not to land the spoils and has a JP/AP hotpot to beat here but surely better than virtually everything else.) pitching at 1.42
