Hi,
Come on, own up, were you tempted by the Betting
Virtuoso with its slick American marketing campaign
from Larry Donovan (Jason Donovan's Dad?!)
I'm afraid I was not tempted, dear reader by the betting
breakthrough of the Millennium etc etc... because I
sense it is a load of bertie ollocks - and general
feedback on forums has confirmed this. The only
redeeming features seem to be what you can learn from
the pre launch marketing techniques - which were
excellent!
I will NOT be purchasing Betting Virtuoso I'm afraid
(unless they throw in a Kelly Brook 2009 calendar
AND a Tina O'Brien 2009 calendar AND a Pussycat
Dolls 2009 Calendar).
It's from a group whose previous work in my opinion
has been utterly useless - does a leopard ever change
his spots?
Feedback on Betting Virtuoso from those who succumbed
is welcome. I am more than happy to be proved wrong.

PLACETASTIC
************
Another 100% strike rate this week for my place only
selections. I have taken a few risks by choosing place
only selections at relatively bigger odds (1.65!) and they
scraped home 3rd by the skin of their teeth!
A couple of readers with an interest in place betting
have been telling me about their strategies. This makes
very interesting reading indeed and I hope to be able to
share them with you. My betting exchange profits tester
is as happy as a man who has previewed the Kelly
Brook, Tina O'Brien and Pussycat Dolls 2009
calendars. The profits are still coming despite a losing
Monday where shorties were unplaced across the card!
On the place only betting theme, Raj (I was on the telly
you know - don't think I've mentioned that before) Patel
has a new place only betting system, which as usual is
bringing in the profits - so his screen profits hint at. The
thing about Raj's systems is that it's only after you've
forked out £200+ that you realise the system is so
damn easy.
My ideas? Could this be a version of Raj's Racing Cash
Machine for place only betting? Ie. follow the racing live
and back a market leader who looks like he could
place? The number of bets hint at this.
Could this be a follow the market place only system? I
was looking yesterday on the place only markets with
this in mind - looking for out of kilter selections. Eg look
at this sequence 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Now look at this sequence
1,2,4,3,5,6,7
Can you see which number is out of kilter? Yes the
number 3. Now the odds on Betfair usually follow this 1-
7 principle - 1 being the shortest odds at the top of the
market, and 7 being the biggest odds at the base of the
market. But what if the odds on the 4th horse were
actually shorter than the odds for the 3rd horse? The
sign of money? It's just a thought at present, but 3 wins
in the first 3 races and a 14.5 place only selection at the
bottom of the market yesterday (came 2nd!) augur well.
More to follow on that...
I will be scouring the Betfair forum too for any hints
about Raj's system but will certainly not be forking out a
3 figure sum for what I know will be a very simple
system! Again feedback welcome from readers on this
one!

GOLDEN RATIO PART 2
*******************
Do you remember the Golden Ratio? Well it was
something Steve Braxton, a reader, came up with. Well
out of the blue this week Steve phones up yours truly
and was as excited as a man who's unwrapped his
Christmas presents and found Kelly Brook, Tina O'Brien
and Pussycat Dolls 2009 calendars!
Apparently now he has simplified his strategy. He's
working with a clever reader in Scotland in the hope he
has a eureka moment, and I await with interest his new
system. So stay tuned - the first effort was a
complicated affair and made my brain hurt - hopefully
this new version will make life a little easier.

FOOTBALL CRAZY
***************
International matches this weekend -a chance for a
mug punter acca? I found an errant £20 a couple of
weeks ago in my Ladbrokes account during the
European leagues' cup games - you know like the
Carling Cup but in Denmark, Holland, Italy etc. - all on
the same weekend. So I did a 17 team accumulator
which included 2 teams to win half time/full time. Are
you ahead of me? Yes 16 teams all won, and the 17th
team won 4-0 but it was a half time/full time selection
who scored in the 52nd minute. I was as gutted as
someone who HADN'T received Kelly Brook, Tina
O'Brien and Pussycat dolls calendars for Xmas! £1100
return up in smoke because one team couldn't be
bothered to score in the first half!
With so many seeming minnows v giants this weekend,
it might be worth trying a big acca?
The last 2 weeks have seen 100% strike rate on the
footy blog across all bets - remember that evens treble
- 2 x 1 / 2 shots and a 1/3 shot - well I have been laying
these now as one team always lets me down - last
week Bayern only managed a 2-2 draw (and they were
2/7 shots!) could this be a way to go? Using Betfair
multiples, we do tend to play overinflated odds alas but
so far so good!
Well, another newsletter looms large on the horizon and
there's plenty for me to get my teeth into. If you do have
any feedback in the interim please send it across asap.
I note from last week's newsletter that the Patriarch's
system has been churning out a couple of nice priced
winners. Very promising indeed!
And if you don't already receive my What Really Wins
Newsletter - What are you waiting for?!
There's still time (just!) to get in before our next issue
goes to print. Take a look here:
The Brilliant 'What Really Wins' Newsletter
Right, I'm off now to NOT buy the betting virtuoso but I
will ask Larry Donovan from Betting Virtuoso if he can
ask Jason Donovan if he can get me Kylie Minogue's
mobile number.
Have a great weekend!
