It’s the Winning Bet that Counts

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
Rhymers Ha’ 15:20 Musselburgh 1/1

HUGHIES

Do these easy money “betting miracles” enrage you too?

If you assume (as I do) that this recession is about to be turned into a depression by the antics of the sundry crooks, buffoons and bureaucrats who ruin our lives, keep reading.

But first, a question.

Do these easy money “betting miracle” formula emails enrage you?

You get them. I get them. We all get them.

Here’s one I saw 5 minutes before I drafted this message to you:

Are you tired of the endless betting systems that many are selling you?

Making money from betting isn’t as hard as you think.

There is a secret to backing winners everyday and you can find out right here.

This is a variation on the old “everyone but me is a crook” approach, used by rogues since the dawn of time.

It was signed “Yours sincerely Ron Hill”.

He just missed the “in” before the sincerely.

All you need to remember is that if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

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

Big Mike Betting is all about changing your mindset, by taking a different approach and importantly, it’s aimed at betting realists as opposed to gambling fantasists.

My goal as always, is for you to win more than you lose and to help you make profits in a more relaxed ‘investor’ like style over the medium to long-term.

So without further ado, here are the details of the revised and much improved Big Mike Betting 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)

One thing to end with. For God’s sake don’t sit there like Merkel and Sarkozy saying you’re “going to do something”.

I just came across an email in my files from some fool who’s taken over a year to do nothing except explain why he’s done nothing about changing the way he bets.

So if you are interested in doing something about improving the way you approach betting and trading, go here now.

I hope I haven’t spoilt your weekend, which of course should be a time of rest and relaxation.

Unfortunately the way things are I don’t think this is a very smart time to sit around relaxing. How about you?

Best,

Mike

Sample Column including a rare Golden Goose bet

I always get very excited about bets which `look` the part, such as at Ffos Las. 12.45.

Here we have – which on the face of it – looks a classic `Golden Goose`. They come along maybe 2 or 3 times a year. Bookies hate them. I can assure you this morning that all Stationers in West Wales will run out of brown envelopes as the layers will be looking to reduce the race to less than 5 runners, which of course will scupper the trade.

If the unlikely happens and 5 run (!) then the bet works like this.

Captain Sharpe.

Play £100 ew at BOG which is 7/1 with bet365.com

Concentrate on the Place side.

At SP the 7/1 is equivalent to 2.8 ish The Lay Price on Betfair is 1.3. So via SP / BOG if placed you will pick up £175 for £100 place stake. If you lay £200 back to Betfair it will cost you £60.

So if the horse places you pick up a net £115 and if unplaced you will pick up a net £100 (£200 less £100).

Now on the win side its more difficult. Here you are relying on a subsidy from the place bet and also a bit of in running support from the lemmings.

The first thing to do is assess your profit if the horse wins which will be £700 at BOG. Then pre start you must change your focus into `liability`. Try and lay back as much as you can for a Liability of £400. I think you will get about £60 back via betfair at current prices.

Then you are reliant on the lemmings to retrieve the balance of your £100 as this bet in effect is geared to the place winnings. So I would suggest mines at 6.2, 5.2,4.2 & 3.2 and just in case a big one at 1.7.

Its a purely mathematical exercise and geared to the place site BUT all this is useless (as I suspect) brown envelopes will show their face before 12.45.

Good luck if popping your toes in the water.

The Nina Carberry advice was well worth heeding wasn`t it? Her horse was Never put in the race whilst she was on the likeliest winner. Hope you took advantage of the Betfair Place site!

So its a pretty lukewarm day but I am definitely going to trade the Charlton match tonight via the Chatroom.

and ALL members are welcome.

My Bets today

NB Watch out for NRs today – use betfair if seen please.

Usual Place mines to save stakes at 1.21 and 1.11 – risk a fiver liability (in total on the two place lays) and if confident increase the bet size a tad to cover for these lays.
Obviously if the horse starts under 1.21 take the best price pre race.

PLEASE just take a few seconds of your time to place the lays in the Betfair keep.

BOG prices shown

*** ALI BABA ***

£20 ew Double but played equally divided today. I would suggest that if 5 run in the 1245 then you lay the full £20 back to the place site pre start for cover and a tad more at 1.21.

Captain Sharpe 12.45 Ffos Las 7/1
Azione 14:55 Ffos Las 11/10

Big Mike’s Bonus Full Betting Column

For the intrest of all my blog followers what follows is a typical example of a Big Mike Betting daily email betting column – enjoy :)

Big Mikes Saturday Column – 16/07/2011

Great day on Friday with 2 full winning doubles and only one horse letting us down for a mammoth effort.

This followed the 7-1 Ali Baba double on Wednesday and the double via Betfair on Thursday.

Profit on the Double Diamond yesterday was £200 and the profit on the Ali Baba was a further £83. There was also a 9/2 winner in the Dunlop and all the Hughies also won.

I truly hope the 53 ten day trialists on board have enjoyed their time with me, whilst witnessing first hand my groundbreaking approach to betting and trading.

I also hope lots of moolah has been made over the last week. I just despise Bookmakers so much and when we can take the brass off them in quantity then all well and good.

Today I am in Lahndon on business so cannot always be on the ball with the Golf updates but will watch as closely as possible but should be back to normal on Sunday.

Please watch the Forum for any extra bets.

TODAYS BETS

On the DD I normally use :-

£22 @ 1.18

Open Golf

The idea of the portfolio is to try and finish green on any player come Sunday evening. I have to say that this Open is still as tight as a drum and I am expanding the list a little in the hope of netting that winner.

Remember I am quoting to 10x stakes but will account for just 10% of these as I have assumed that is the level the members are playing.

Firstly we have lost on :-

Brian Davis
Camilo Villegas
Graeme McDowell
Ian Poulter
Lee Westwood
Luke Donald
Matt Kuchar
Padraig Harrington
Peter Hanson
Retief Goosen

A total of £10.50p

We are still live with £13.50 liability on the following and the net profit
(revised after the losers) is :-

Martin Kaymer +21.30
Rory McIlroy +26.50
Charl Schwartzel +27.90
Darren Clarke -3.75
Lucas Glover +4.30
Miguel Angel Jimenez +25.30
Thomas Bjorn +19.50
Phil Mickelson +21.50
Steve Stricker +22.50
Jeff Overton +18.50
Rickie Fowler +30.50
Y. E. Yang +19.50
Robert Rock +25.50
Simon Dyson -£2.50
Webb Simpson -5.40
Charles Howell III +24.50
Tom Watson +16.74
Paul Casey +24.50

Now a bit of tinkering –

I am quoting TEN times stakes for the moves

The changes :-

Laying

£3 Tom Watson @ 470
£1 Robert Rock @ 130
£1 Y.E.Yang @ 95
£2 Rickie Fowler @ 60
£1 Jeff Overton @ 70
£3 Steve Stricker @42
£5 Phil Mickelson @ 27
£3 Thomas Bjorn @ 28
£4 Miguel Jiminez @ 21
£5 Charl Schwartzel @ 14.50
£6 Rory McIlroy @ 10.50
£2 Martin Kaymer @ 8.2

So at this stage we have released £36 (or £3.60 if playing for 10% stakes)

Now we need to spend a bit on `possible` party poopers but frankly its still wide open so leaving flexibility for Sunday.

Bets

£4 Darren Clarke @ 17.5
£4 Dustin Johnson @ 21
£4 Sergio Garcia @ 25
£2 Chad Campbell @ 36
£2 Adam Scott @ 34
£2 Davis Love III @ 48
£2 Anders Hanen @ 38

Update – if any on the Forum

SUPER LEAGUE

CRUSADERS V CASTLEFORD

The 7 lads suspended last week by the Cru are available for selection today. `Alfie` (Gareth Thomas) is out with a broken arm and he will be missed.

Rangi Chase though is the big omission from the Cas line up and I feel we should side with the Cru with a start and extra cover.

£32 Crusaders Plus 4.5 @ Betfair @ 1.8 ish

Margins

£5 Cas by 1-5 @ 13/2 betfred
£6 Cas by 6-10 @ 11/2 bluesq/Coral

Saver

£3 Cas by 11-15 @ 12/1 betfred

Best,

Mike

3 keys to making money from betting

It’s easy to bet but making money from it isn’t always as simple. These three things will help you to keep your betting profitable:

  1. 1. Understand the numbers

    In order to get the best out of the bookmakers it’s imperative that you understand the numbers and know how to work them to your advantage. As far as I know no one can completely accurately predict the outcome of a particular race or event – the best you can do is guess or hope – but if you understand how the various outcomes will affect your winnings, you can hedge your bets and lower your risk as much as possible.
