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

Big Mikes Tuesday Column

(Just in from a Sunderland member) – `You can get a reasonable 3 Bedroomed House in the Newcastle area for £36,000. Is Carroll really worth 1000 houses?` Here we go. Thought Id pass it on to the many Toon members on here. Personally from a club nearly bankrupt a couple of years ago the deal is a good one but I understand the emotions of the fans – but bills have to be paid and Ashley no doubt wants some moolah. Lets be fair – its a heck of a price though.

Whelan on the other hand must be mad. Turning down £12 million. For that he could buy every Blue Square Premiership player and probably every club as well.

Big Mike’s Friday Betting Advice & Horse Racing Place Bet

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Good morning all, well both NH meetings abandoned so just the two all weather meetings and in truth very little there to inspire me. I will come back to racing in a minute, but first of all a mention about the Cricket.

I don’t know how many other services give you the breadth of betting that Big Mike Betting provides, but really what could be easier the logging onto Betfair, putting a few bets in the keep, going to bed, and waking up in the morning to find you have doubled your money!!

Big Mike’s Wednesday Betting Advice & Betfair Market Pointers

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Firstly thanks to Tetley over at my main site for another excellent column yesterday and his insight to the latest from the markets.

Remember its vital to check prices near the off as connections are playing Betfair very cleverly with so many `phantom` gambles. A gamble in the morning for instance is used as a `staircase` for connections to use their Exchange accounts and imply the horse is fancied.

Quite regularly you will find these `gambles` are just the opposite and its a means for those close to the action to lay their horses at very low levels. It does go on and seems to be an increasing problem.

Take care when backing a horse for instance which has doubled from its morning summit laying price.

Big Mike’s Saturday Betting Advice & Each Way Double

Saturday, January 15th, 2011

Attractive Racing today with some top class stuff. I am opposing Kauto ew with one of my favourite horses plus a small Hughie on another. I think we would have had a big pay out but for the fall of Aikman at Musselburgh but again my `preaching` of low mines came off with stake recovery plus for many on the Forum as this one was laid to 1.11. Its a cheap, easy option so do include it on all your bets – not just mine. Incidentally a sharp reminder last night for gambling yards on the Flat – especially favourites – `JUST` finishing out of the placings in 4th.

Big Mike’s Friday Betting Advice & Each Way Double

Friday, December 10th, 2010

Brown envelopes? Is this a myth or fact? Whatever it is – they exist and to put things in a monetary example yesterday over at my paid for service we had 4 in a Yankee which gave a 1p profit whereas if 8 had run in the 1.45 the profit would have been £35. So what happens to the £34.99? Two guesses. I will bleat no more but we may consider going down the `Bottler` route. Last year – due to the spate of brown envelopes and Bookies running for cover I played the bets only via Betfair in order to receive the vital 3 spots. There may be days ahead when I will do so.

A nice double yesterday on the blog (I thought prices were generous for once) and not a winner in sight – Strategic Betting in action!
