Betting Exchange Profits: The Reviewer Strikes Back
It's Wednesday again, dear reader, and thus the middle of the week looms large once more. By home time tonight, it will be the slippery slope to Friday...
Before then though, much sport is to be had. And we start today with a review of the Day Two action with the Betting Exchange Profits system.
You may remember from yesterday that the system actually drew first blood. Well, strictly, it did not, but having blown out on the very first leg of the first cycle I decided to go in again, and the system came up trumps, showing a return of £418.87 for my notionally invested £200.
Yesterday, alas, the third leg saw my five part 'accer' topple when Turn And River (which I had laid for a place) took the silver medal at Beverley.
So, the running total is now +£118.87, which is still creditable and - in fairness - better than I expected. We'll have a better idea by the end of the week though, personally, I do still have serious reservations about the longer term sustainability of a system like this. We'll see.
A much better laying proposition in my opinion, and actually only a bolt-on bonus to a very good systems review newsletter, is Terry Allen's 'Betting Insider' letter. Regular readers will know I've been plugging this a fair bit recently. That's because I think it's very good, so I make no apology for that.
However, this is the last time I'll mention it in despatches. The url, if you haven't checked it out already, is:

Elsewhere, at Beverley, the usually reliable draw continues to confound. Normally, high numbers hold a strong advantage, especially at sprint distances. But, currently, there are a lot of low drawn horses ploughing up the near side and obliging.
This was again the case yesterday with one exception. The sprint handicap saw the three highest drawn horses finish 1st, 3rd and 4th. Right now, Beverley is pretty much a no bet track for me, due to the unpredictability of the draw.
Saying that, I did lay Red River Rebel, beaten at 5/4 (it was one of my system horses) - but a(nother) lousy day at the Tour.
Although my overall selections for the race, Andreas Kloden and Cadel Evans, are well placed for my top 3 and top 6 wagers (touch wood), I can't seem to buy a stage win.
And today looks like being one of the hardest stages to call. With a few Category 3 and 4 climbs in quite a long stage, and with the possibility of the Mistral winds picking up on the route into Marseille, there is a strong chance of some pileups today.
After yesterday's gruelling route up the Galibier, the riders might have hoped for a little respite. But no such thing - at least, not until tomorrow.
By the way, yesterday saw Vinokourov probably wave his chance in the race goodbye. Kloden, his stated deputy in the Astana team, was finally given license to plug on ahead, seemingly a sure sign of where team allegiances are now. He looked very strong, and as though he was saving himself for the bigger battles to come.
I think he may be the most likely winner now, as his time trialling is probably the pick of the major players and he can easily pick Rasmussen off for two minutes and more in each of the two 'contre le montres'.
Back to today's stage, and it will certainly suit a one day racer type rider. There will be the usual ambitious strikers, such as Jens Voigt and Sandy Casar, plus Philippo Pozzato may finally give the dismal Italians something to cheer about. I'll have minimal stakes (i.e. £2!) on each, but I think there are a couple of Brits with a sneaky chance today, if yesterday's fine performances have not left their mark.
Reformed drug cheat, Robert Millar, has the ideal 'game' for a stage like this, but he was seen on the front of the chase group yesterday, working quite hard for team leader, Iban Mayo.
The other Brit rider with a squeak is half-Finnish Charlie Wegelius. He finished just 6 minutes and 44 seconds back yesterday to prove his ability to ride the big peaks, and is sufficiently distant on the 'classement' for the leaders not to bat an eyelid if he escapes the peloton.
His team, Liquigas, have done nothing to this point, so he may well strike for a long shot win and, at least, some publicity for the sponsors. Again, tiny stakes, but I might even get £4 on this boy.
Just a quick final point, as a result of an email from a reader yesterday. The adverts for systems on the left hand side of the page are from google. I have not chosen these (except the one for satellite tv via internet, which I think is pretty cool - its in the 3rd frame down), and I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the claims nor the integrity of the product owners.
The only products I specifically sanction are on my 'Premium Systems' page. As regular readers know, each of these is reviewed and graded, having been trialled here first.
Do please continue to click on the links to the left (I get a few beans from google each time you do that, and it helps to 'keep the lights on' for the blog), but - if you're interested in a product, make sure you can get a refund if anything goes awry.
[Note, all products that you can buy via Clickbank automatically provide for refunds. You apply for this from Clickbank themselves, rather than the product author].
I hope that's helpful, and good luck with your Wednesday wagers. I'll be trying to get Robscarvic and Bucharest beaten. Feel a little twitchy about that particular eventuality...
