Losing Runs And What To Expect

Hello Guys,

It's been a while since my last post as it's always a busy time of year as we move into the flat season and wait for the dust to settle as turf horses find their feet (or hoofs!) etc.

If your a subscriber to Value At The Races at the moment you'll be more than aware that we're currently suffering from a losing streak. This is nothing out of the ordinary and is common place when backing horses. This is why, when signing up we recommend a specific starting bank that will cover any of these losing streaks and still give you enough money to bet with to take advantage of the winning ones.

Now the service boasts an average of a 25% strike rate, long term. In terms of probabilty this would mean that mathematically we could expect up to 35 losers on the trot. Don't panic, although this is possible, it has never happened once in over 5 years. The most the service has ever been in the red is -£114.00 to £10 stakes. This was back in February of this year. Within 8 days of betting we were back in the black and finished the month on +£119.00 to £10 stakes.

For those that have recently joined the service, I appreciate that there is nothing worse than reading how brilliant a tipster has been and then when you join there isn't a single winner. You start to feel it's a load of b*ll*cks and wonder why you parted with your hard earnt cash?!?

I assure you that every tip I give out is part of my own betting portfolio and I back every runner with my own money. I have been a professional gambler for over 3 years now and have always recovered from losing streaks.

I hope that puts your mind's at rest and any questions please feel free to leave them below and I will try to answer them as soon as possible.

Regards,

Ed
