In today’s post I thought I’d answer a few of the emails and comments I’ve been receiving lately….

Scoop 6 Syndicate

With the Scoop6 win fund proving elusive to punters over the last month or so, and now expected to top £2 million this weekend, I’ve been getting quite a few emails from readers interested in getting together to form a syndicate. Long time readers may remember we formed one about 18 months ago which, although it had an enormous response, was a bit of a disaster and we failed to scoop the pot.

I encountered quite a few problems back then, not least of which was actually getting £6000 together in 48 hours to put the bet on as it takes paypal 4 days to transfer any funds to your bank account, and I’m not overly keen to get involved again. If we had won that time it would probably have taken me another 18 months to sort out and pay everyone’s share!

Also it’s likely the 6 races this weekend will all be very tricky handicaps and actually winning the thing will be near on impossible (nobody ever said winning £2m was easy!) We all know how hard it is to find the winner of one 20 runner handicap, even if you have 2 or 3 picks in the race, and to try and do it 6 times in a day is very tough.

However, if there is enough interest and everyone involved was aware that the chances of success aren’t great I may be persuaded to form a smaller syndicate. I’ll gauge the interest over the next 24 hours and then make a decision late tomorrow afternoon. I will limit it to 100 shares at £10 each with any difference between the cost of our perm and the £1000 being made up by myself. You’ll be able to buy a maximum of 5 shares each to give everyone a chance of joining.

On thing there has been plenty of interest in is Gary’s system horses as I’ve had quite a few emails on the subject…

Where do you get the advised price from?

Once Gary has picked his selections we check the odds available at www.oddschecker.comto see which firm is offering the best price. As long as we are certain this price is accessible to everyone we advise these odds. By this I mean that at least two of the smaller firms quoted are offering this price or if it is available at one of the big bookmakers i.e. Hills, Ladbrokes, Betfred etc

We are finding that quite often these horses are being backed and would recommend taking the price advised on every runner.

What is the points system used?

I am unable to disclose his sytem but when Gary picks his selections part of the process means they are graded in strength from 1-3. He then simply allocates the relevant points to each runner and recommends each way if the odds are high enough. To apply the points system to your betting simply decide on your normal stake and bet this stake multiplied by the points allocated.

For example: If you have a bank of £500 and decide that all your bets are to be a £5 (1%) stake then a 3pt horse will be £15, a 2pt is £10 and 1pt ew is £5ew

If you’re looking for a staking system that is a bit more exciting then you may want to choose a % Stake plan. Read all about it here.

How’s he doing?

It’s still early days but so far, so good. There have been a few losers from the 1pt selections but the three big 3 pointers selections have all won and have contributed well to his current level stakes profit of over 30pts in just 3 days!. Today’s runners have been uploaded.

When’s the Bonus Ball Bet coming back?

I’ve been rounding up some more free bets from the online bookies, using various family member names, and I’m planning on bringing it back for June and July.

For those of you who don’t know what the BBB is here’s a brief explanation…..I place a series of bets throughout the month on anything that takes my fancy and all winnings are put in the prize pot. Then all readers are invited to guess the bonus ball in a designated Lottery Draw and if they guess correctly they win, or share, the pot. Simples.

It’s 100% free to enter, open to everyone and has absolutely no catch whatsoever. More news to follow.

A few more emails from the virtual ’sack’….

After Saturday’s (un)Lucky 15 don’t you think it’s best if you just let Gary do the tipping?- G. Priestley jnr.

Agreed, I’ll stick to the trends.

How annoyed were you when the French Stewards chucked out Liliside? -Mr N. Quiry

Tres contrarie! but not half as annoyed as I was when I found out Ladbrokes don’t pay both results on French races. Merde.

After tipping all three winners in your trends guide on Saturday we you must be off to Vegas again? - Miss S. Bell & Dylan

Unfortunately, I decided to go with trends pick Zacinto and not top rated Paco Boy in the Lockinge meaning I only had 2 out of 3 in my patent. A nice win but not enough to fund a week in Vegas. Yet.

Have you worked out which filly is going to win the Oaks yet? I’ve got it down to a shortlist of 3 - Mr H. Cecil

Thanks for the email Mr Cecil. I too have it down to a shortlist of 3 and I would imagine our lists are pretty similar. At the moment I’m favouring siding with Timepiece over Aviate and Principal Role. I’ll check the trends over the weekend and let you know for certain on Monday.

Have you worked out who is going to win the Derby yet? I’ve got it down to a shortlist of 22 - A. O’Brien

Thanks for the email Mr O’Brien. I reckon you only need to be on one horse in this race and you won’t find him in your list. It’s Bullet Train for me and as long as Mr Abdullah and Mr Cecil agree to run him I can’t see him being out of the frame. It’ll be just like the old days with Henry having the Oaks and Derby double.

Have you got anymore FREEBIES to give away?- Che Eky

Funny you should ask as my good friend Matt Bisogno has just released a FREE system that concentrates on 2yo races and has pinpointed winners at both 66/1 and 100/1. You can get your copy by signing up below…

FREE ‘2yo Bomb’Sytem

And finally, Beyond Desire is due to return to the track on Saturday. Judging by her entry the connections will be sending her sprinting this season which should give me plenty of opportunities to bet her. Having done my money on her for the Guineas I’m out to get it back and have taken the 50’s on a long range ante-post bet for this Summer’s July Cup.

Good luck,
Gavin.
