It’s been a disappointing week overall on the spread betting tipping league, with a few big losses affecting our position, but we are still in profit despite this.
And, four of our five tipsters are still ahead of the game, and it’s only our spread betting newbie Mark Layton who is lagging, but to be fair to Mark, if you followed only his Lay Betting tips, which is his speciality, you would be in profit there as well.
Also, I think the importance of correct staking is underlined by the size of one of two of the losses we’ve incurred this week. If in doubt, read the articles about your bank and unit stakes again.
I will be publishing a definitive list of unit stakes for each market over the festive period, so look out for that, but I wanted to share the story of the classic spread bet result which my good friend Dave and I shared back in 2001.
Thankfully we have both had plenty of more profitable wins in the years since, but this the infamous match between Tranmere and Southampton in the FA Cup back then, crops up whenever we get down to discussing memorable bets.
The match itself has gone down as a classic and I seen it mentioned only this week in a newspaper article about great comebacks. Fresh from a sensational away win in the previous round at Everton, Tranmere travelled to the south coast and drew 0-0 with Southampton in the 5th round.
So back to Prenton Park for the replay, and I strongly fancied the Premiership Saints to be too strong for the plucky Division One side, who I thought had already had one giant killing too many. Dave agreed, and we duly piled into a hefty buy of Southampton’s performance in the match, and watched in smug delight as the visitors swept into a 3-0 half time lead.
A telephone discussion took place, and Dave & I agreed that we should close our position on Southampton and take our hefty profit. Apologies, but the numbers involved here have been lost in the mists of time, and probably are not as great as I remember them in my head, but never mind, it was definitely a beauty… More on Tipsters Dream Of Classic Spread Bet…

Well Xmas is nearly upon us and whilst most of us will be looking forward to putting our feet up for a few days and tucking into the turkey and trimmings, the Racing World will be in one of the busiest times of the year……well weather permitting!!!
The coming weekend sees a fantastic fixture at Ascot, kicking off today(Fri 18th Dec) and having no less than six Class 1 races over the two days, covering bumper, novice chases, and includes the mouthwatering clash between one of last seasons top novice hurdlers, Diamond Harry, and the reigning World Hurdle Champion in Big Bucks. Both horses made mightily impressive seasonal debuts a few weeks ago and both will surely capture some big prizes in the years to come.
The following weekend heralds the running of the King George Chase at Kempton Park, which has been the scene of so many past champions including the legendary grey horse Desert Orchid, who was a standing dish in the race winning it 4 times during the late 1980′s. This years race sees the reigning champion chaser Kauto Star, who is aiming to emulate Dessie’s achievement by winning this prestigious race for the fourth time on the trot, before attempting to defend his Cheltenham Gold Cup crown next March.
We have had a busy week in the horse racing forum with trials on a variety of different methods and systems including Gamekeeper Turns Poacher, which is showing excellent early promise.
Finally for those of you who took note of the advice given in my Making The Best Out Of Free Resources – Part Two article will have enjoyed a very profitable week following the highlighted tipster on the At The Races site with HUGH TAYLOR providing us with winners @6/1, 4/1, and a lovely 16/1 shot on Thursday with Captain Smoothy, which paid 21.00 at sp on Betfair.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all off our readers, greetings for the festive season and a prosperous new year.

It’s almost Christmas and the weather is getting worst. This is a great time of the year to lay. Horses for courses is an infamous saying , well most horses have a preferred ground conditions, and if it is heavy, this will suit certain types of horse.
Look carefully at the form and discount those that obviously don’t act on the ground. The week didn’t turn out quite as planned. I had problems with BetBotPro, it wasn’t the bots fault, it was my computer…
That said, it still managed to make me more money. Long may it continue 
I bit off more than I could chew on the review/testing front – mainly because of seasonal festivities! I couldn’t donate enough time to do the Place to Lay justice. I will definitely look closely at this next week. False Favourites continues to do very well.
I had my own system released this week Gamekeeper Turns Poacher – a quick plug 
Our Horse racing guru, Steve, is reviewing this. A 10% discounted refund is available to LTO members only. The Sports Professor continues to provide profitable U.S Sports lays. I can recommend this product.
Next week will be pretty quiet on the testing side of things. I will continue to look at the subscription service Pin Point Lays which has started off very well, long may it continue!
We are having a lot of fun over on the Spread Betting forum, Alex has started a tipping league. join in, it’s fun. I am bottom by the way. Have a look… There are some nice bonuses from these firms too, and Alex has a “system” to make the most from them.
I wish all the members and authors a very Happy Christmas and a very profitable New Year.
