The Racing Horse is not, or ever claimed to be, a tipster. This location is a vehicle for our personal and professional betting which is our primary source of income. For disciplinary and pragmatic reasons, we organically produce a commonsense rationale borne out of a composite, containing all the pertinent numbers we believe we need to profit. It is this feature we enjoy sharing with our members. In turn they make sure we uphold our standards whilst acting as proofers, if our rationale is unreliable, bogus or falls below standard it will be readily exposed.

So, if we are not a tipster - who or what are we?

Our Home Page affirms: "We are a website dedicated to horse racing information and pertinent advice. Its primary function is to entertain and help readers find winners. It will remind, aid and improve the selection process by using a variety of information sources. This racing magazine will be honest and without embellishment."

From here, it is our belief that bettors should find their own pathway and not rely on tipsters. Of course, not everyone who enjoys a flutter is a serious player or has the dedicated time needed to be successful, this is the main reason we give detailed figures and a pertinent rationale to help in the process.

Mathematics are the governing force of sports betting and if the reader does not 100% believe this then they should read no further! Mathematically exact figures are more than a solid base, they remove a number of saboteurs of betting including randomness and bias.

So, in conclusion, we are not tipsters! We share our personal betting, rationale, strategies and systems for a very small subscription (33p per day)! We intentionally have a small membership with no urge to pursue. There is no fluff, affiliations or adverts on the site and only email alert when we have something to say of advantage, interest or explanation.

With the above in mind, we watched a fascinating webinar courtesy of Michael Wilding and Race Advisor, and it prompted this blog. Though we do not believe he is a real horse racing fan per se, we largely enjoy and trust his work and he has genuinely helped many bettors including this one!

Michael talked about how best to use strategies with the need to focus, commit, visualise, adapt, and remove negatives within variances, something we have tried to do but not always succeeded. He then related a story whereby he introduced a strategy to 300 people and monitored their involvement, despite the strategy still being in profit 8 months later, because of downswings every single one of those 300 had disappeared and moved on to the next great thing, which of course does not exist.

The cornerstone of The Racing Horse is our Pacafi which is an acronym for professional, calculated and filtered investment. It has been in operation publicly since June 2011 and made incremental profits every year with just one or two losing quarters. We readily accept the average punter is not interested in incremental gains or a small return on investment, they prefer promises of something that does not exist! The vast majority of bettors are happy to chase and lose, then blame somebody other than themselves. It will always be so!

Another reason for our existence is we enjoy writing about sport and voicing our opinions. We were the number one writer for Betfair for almost five years in its formative years writing about a number of sports and offering betting advice. Our website not only gives us an opportunity to prattle but build confidence and hone our betting. We have written for a number of publications since but enjoyed talking to and working with ON COURSE PROFITS INTERVIEW and they allowed us to express ourselves a little further.

If there is anything we have said of interest, and you would like to know more then please CONTACT US for a same day response. Thank you for your interest.
