Magnum - Update Friday 30th April Evening

Hi, we finished the month with a winning lay on the lay service but overall, it hasn't been great.

We put out lay levels down this month to 3/1 and recommended all lays to be @ 4.0 or under, this triggered
the law of s*d and of course most of the lays over 3/1 went on to lose, whilst several horses under the limit going on to win

The service has been under strain lately, but as always I am working to rectify any shortcomings we get, I am
currently looking at several other strategies to improve the lay service, belive me, I know I have been blathering
on all month about the Perfect Lays system but the Lay Service is my No1 Priority and always will be - and I want us to get back on track again.

Lets look forward to a new month,

Speak soon

Thursday Evening Update

Good Evening

On the Magnum Lay service, we had two lays today, our first - Chit Chat Ridden by Tony McCoy, drifted
badly before the off and was well beaten, but not at a price we could sensibly lay at.

Our 2nd Magnum Lay was in the 8.10 at Huntingdon, Knock Em Dead, another McCoy mount, this came 2nd @ 3/1

On the Perfect Lays system, our first one - Astracad won @ 3/1 & the 2nd one - Knock Em Dead, as I mentioned earlier,came 2nd @ 3/1

Have a good night, I will be back tomorrow

Well, Blue Eyed Eloise had other ideas about racing todaytoday as she waited until the 8.10 at Kempton
to decide it was not for her and she was promptly withdrawn at the start - never mind, nothing lost

Early evening update Tuesday 27th April

Good Evening

Mary's pet on both the Magnum Lay service I Perfect Lays system finished 3rd @ 4/1 (5.5) - too high
a price for me. The only other selection so far today was Jenny Potts, this was also on the Perfect Lays
system and finished 3rd @ 3/1 (4.26)

Their may be another one on the system tonight at Sedgefield, but at the moment the price of this horse is a little bit too high.

I will update you later if any more selections crop up

Good Afternoon

We're a bit late on the Blog today - we have a possible lay so far @ Lingfield both on the lay service and the

I said it might be a late update, but 2am ??

Sarika in the 3.40 lost nicely for us Sunday @ 2/1 (3.00), this was given on the Magnum service and

I will be back on Monday..

Sunday Message

Good Morning

I was unable to do an update on the blog yesterday, it wans't a good day for the service and its been a wretched month. We had 2 on the Magnum service, only one qualified, this won @ 5/2 (typical), I also had one on the perfect lays system which ran3rd @ 13/8 - this was Twist Magic and typically the system knew best as I should have given this on the Magnum service.

Anyway, let's look forward, May should be a cracking month for us as the flat form is gradually settling down, we have one on the lay service today and the same horse on perfect lays

It will be a late, late update today, possibly early hours of Monday, have a good day.

Sat 24th April 2010 Noon message

Good Morning

We have two potential lays on the Magnum service today, one is at Ripon this afternoon and the other is at

We also have one perfect lay selection running at Sandown this afternoon, their may be other possibilities

I will be back later with an update, although it may be very late tonight.

Have a good day

Why I love to lay horses to lose

How to make money from horse racing whilst having a whole lot of fun

Did you know that less than 2% of people actually make any money from horse racing?

It’s true, their is an absolute mass of information out there via websites, magazines, the form book, etc on how to win at horseracing, yet still most people cannot turn a profit in the long term and end up losing money – why is that ?

It’s quite simple really – people tend to treat it as a bit of a game, a laugh, not to be taken too seriously.

Bookmakers get rich on this cavalier attitude, they have big, big houses paid for and furnished by the “mugs” who throw their money away on hopeless strategies and chance

They love the lucky fifteens, the 6 horse accumulators and the 12 match coupon, these bets pay for all their luxury holidays

Do you know of any other moneymaking enterprise where you would leave so much to chance?

If you ran your everyday business on tips & hearsay, you would soon be broke, wouldn’t you?

That’s not to say that their aren’t some good tipsters about, their are, but very few, good long term profitable ones.

So why leave horseracing to chance? sure it’s a lot of fun watching your horse run & lose, isn’t it ?

Only if you lay horses, then it’s fun, if not – it’s not fun, it’s MADNESS!!

Why do I lay horses to lose?

It’s simple, I have more horses running for me in any given race than people who are backing to win and although it’s not easy, I find it easier to find a short priced loser, than to find a reasonable priced winner.. this is very important.

It’s no good betting on favourites

A third of favourites win, most punters bet the favourite, and although they win some of the time, because of the mean prices on offer most of the time, they will lose money overall.

What about betting on outsiders? Well, this is purely for pin stickers unless “you know something”, if a third of all favourites win, this would leave 2 thirds of all winners coming from the 2nd favourite upwards – now approx 25% of winners come from the 2nd favourite so it doesn’t leave a lot of room for the masses of outsiders that run each day.

Even with years of form study, you would still need a large bank, the patience of a saint and must expect very long losing runs – most professional gamblers have been broke a few times before they got it right.

So, how am I better off laying horses to lose?

Psychologically, you are better off because you will win more times than you lose (if you are doing this correctly), also from a fun point of view, whereas with betting to win, you are cheering one horse home, only to find it blunders over the last and unseats the rider.

With laying to lose you are cheering everything on in the race, except the horse you have laid to lose, believe me I’ve had some funny looks from people at the racecourse as I switch allegiance to different horses in the last half furlong at my local track.

And finally

Laying horses to lose has given me a lot of great enjoyment and a nice income for spending time in study doing something I love

You need to treat this wonderful business as, just that – a business. Keep accounts of every horse you lay and follow a strategy, a strategy of continuous improvement, find out who knows what they are doing and learn as much from them as you can.

Study all the articles on laying, form your own opinions of course and treat this as a never ending course of learning

And, please stop paying for all those luxuries the bookies so enjoy, let someone else do that.

Update - Tuesday 21st

Hi, our sole lay today Take My Hand won @ 9/4 (3.85), I was expecting Chocamoca to win this but it wasn't to be as Take My Hand steamed into the lead under the Fallon Drive. It's been a frustrating month as most of the winning lays this month haven't counted due to price; I think we've had about 7 in all.



Never mind, tomorrow is another day



I'll be back then



Keith



P.S I have a nice article to include here on the blog in a few moments

It's a nice sunny day here in the south today, we have one lay on the Magnum Service today, with
2 possibles on the Perfect Lays system.

The price of perfect lays rises tonight just as soon as our webmaster can change the site.

£27.00 was the offer price and I did originally say that when we hit 20 sales at this price, I would put it
up to a more reasonable price, we are just under the 20 sales at present (the site hasn't been updated)
so it will rise to £37.00 a copy - still a terrific price, before midnight tonight.

I will update everyone later, fingers crossed for another good day

Tuesday Update

Asturienne, our 11/8 lay, came 2nd - Hayes Princess got on top in the race only to blunder at the last which should have handed the advantage to Asturienne, but our lay could not match Hayes Princess.

This lay was on the lay service and was a perfect lay system horse.

I did mention the system may have another potential lay today, this was Cordell in the 2.40 @ Wolverhampton. This came 5th, but at 11/2 was too big to be a selection

I will be back tomorrow

Morning, we have a nice low priced lay for sure today, on the lay service.
This is also on the perfect lays system

Their is also one lurking on the system which is not quite a lay (on price) yet, but possibly will be

I will update you a little later on

Keith

Far From Perfect

2 lays on the Perfect Lays system, Aather was 2nd @ 11/8, this featured on the Magnum Lay service,
the system also came up with High on A Hill in the last @ Windsor which won @ 3/1, I think that makes it 5 winning lays and one losing lay, so far this month for Perfect Lays

Our lay Aather is a distant 2nd @ 11/8 (2.88 0n Betfair), this lay was also from the perfect lays system

more news tomorrow

We have one lay on the service today. As from the beginning of this month, no lays are over 3/1
and all are recommended @ 4.0 or below
