Big Mikes Thursday Thoughts

Very pleased in the circumstances with yesterdays winning Double and Buzzer and close too with the DD. I posted elsewhere about Mick Kinane. It really is time for him to pack up as in my view Berry would have won by over a length on Alakhan. Loyalty goes a long way in my book but financial expertise goes further. Kinane WAS a great jockey and can still steer but hes not the man I want in a tight finish any more.

Nevertheless 6/6 Hughies. Those who played the Turbos still better off of course. Remember if we DOUBLE the stake then lay at one third the price we will always be in clover. Its a sound practice and I am extremely satisfied with the progress we are making.

Laying. The Racing Post scribes. Just one winner from 7 on Wednesday so we have quickly built up profits of 10% on the original bank of £200 in a matter of days. The new liability of £11 per horse has been triggered. Please dont get over excited just yet as no doubt they are all due a better day soon. I am looking at a way to lay the RP teams ‘naps’ over 5/1 and maybe we should look at a separate bank here to place lay them especially in Handicaps. Watch this space on that one.

In Soccer Ladbrokes have surpassed themselves with generally the best price around the Leagues. I have played a long term Lucky 31 bet with them in today’s column.

Paddy Power have a bet which should be played via their telephone operation as a free bet of £100 is also given. I have played another long term bet around this offer in today’s column. Yes I am aware its a seasons long bet but a big profit is a big profit. Plenty of laying opportunities. If you have an account with PP already ask the wife to open one instead and give her £25 extra for doing so. Still a good deal.

Redknapps. Will; be starting soon and probably playing via the Forum Chatroom for members and/or MSN – haven’t decided just yet so keep eyes skinned. Likely to be between the 4th & 5th Test.
