thebookiebasher - the UK's premier horseracing tipster service



	About Thebookiebasher Firstly, let me start off by stating that I love horse racing, it has been my passion ever since I was a teenager. I eat, breathe & sleep ‘The Sport of Kings’. My wife says that sometimes she thinks I love horses more than I love her! But she’s wrong of course, it’s not sometimes! I have gambled ever since I can remember but having taken the hard knocks that all 'loose' gamblers experience, I made a specific point of turning my gambling into my profession in 1999. Having learned through my own earlier experiences of the 'right way' and the 'wrong way', I was able to apply all of my knowledge and understanding of the sport into doing something that I was not only passionate about but could nurture into a salary that only premier league footballers can dream about. The introduction of on-line betting exchanges has made the sport even more accessible, and I can now use my 23 years of in-depth expert knowledge to select losers as well as winners. I currently have horses in training with Mick Quinn & Paul Blockley and in recent years with Henrietta Knight, Tony Newcombe, Nicky Richards, Kevin Morgan, Owen Brennan & Mel Brittain. However, I urge you NOT to listen to ‘insider info’ or those who profess to have it. I have been there, done it & worn the T-shirt and whilst I still have some amazing contacts through my involvement with ownership, I choose not to seek the opinions of others. If I need to know anything about a horse, I ask only one question ... “Is it well?” I will then decide upon its chances. So, how do I make it pay? In principle, I use my eyes ... make no mistake, that is the best form book you can get. I study every horse that races in the UK & Europe. I build up a library of racing or ‘video of form’. I use my knowledge of 'race reading' to determine if a horse is being ‘educated’ or is ‘not knocked about’. I look to see if it was lucky, unlucky or simply no good. I examine its action to determine whether its position was helped or hindered by the going and I make assessments of the quality of the race based upon times and track history. Put this all together and add potential improvement, the effect of the draw, the track, the going, the Horse's temperament, the handicap and the form of the trainer and I start to get a mental image of how each race will unfold. Whilst I always remain very dubious about 'stable talk' I do still sometimes speak with owners & trainers to establish the well being and ‘mood’ of their horse but as I said earlier, I DON'T seek their opinion on whether it will win or lose, because you invariably receive a very blinkered view point. No form book or computer in the world could possibly give me this collection of information and together with a strict disciplined approach to my betting I continually ensure I make a healthy living from professional gambling. I DO NOT put my money down on the basis of 'whispers' and to be honest, I don't know too many Millionaire Head Lads, Jockeys or Trainers, and surely if they where the key to finding winners, they all would be wouldn't they? Why offer a tipping service? You may wonder why I offer a tipping service if I make so much money from my own gambling, and you would be quite right to be extremely cautious about 'promises' which are churned out on many tipping sites like sweets at a chocolate factory. The simple truth, is that I love my work and I get a real buzz out of sharing my thoughts with others. It's like asking David Beckham why he still plays football, or Tiger Wood why he still swings his clubs. For me, achievement, in the world of professional gambling is as much to do with the recognition I receive from my members as it is to do with my personal Betfair account. Unfortunately, the fact that I invariably do not get to bed much before 3.00am seven nights a week, prevents me from being kind hearted enough to offer the service for free, but hopefully, the work I put in to ensure my members receive a first class service, is recognised as being terrific value for money. The Web Site also provides me with the avenue from which I can not only share my bets with my members but I can also vent my opinions, my elation, my anger, my frustration - you name it, I can talk about it! The Site also aids my own self discipline tremendously and prevents me from venturing into the 'dark side'. By specifically stipulating my bets to my members, it ensures I always practice what I preach and I stick religiously to my own rules. The offer of my service has nothing to do with "I can't get my money on, because my accounts have been closed" which is the usual drivel you will hear from the con men. I proof all my selections to the racing-index.com web site and have done so since November 2005. In that time, I have witnessed the coming's & goings of hundred's of Tipping services and I am very proud of the fact that my Web Site is one of only a handful which has stood the test of time. I advise an amount of 'points' to be bet or laid on each selection, but I do not offer advice on what unit stake your 'point' should represent. I don't care whether it's £1.00 or £1,000.00. That is a personal matter, to which I have no right nor need to know. However, I would ask that your stake be consistent, and with all gambling, it should always be an affordable investment. You can obviously increase your 'point value' as your kitty grows, if you so desire. I give a detailed explanation on the members page as to why I am backing a particular horse and I also provide a summary of my reasons for Laying a short priced favourite. Remember, I PERSONALLY BACK AND LAY ALL OF THE HORSES ADVISED ON THIS SITE. If you follow my selections you WILL make your punting pay, as I have been able to do as a professional for the past 9 years. Every day is not a winner and indeed, you only need to see my results in 2007 to know that even a professional can endure a lean spell. However, 2007 was my first losing year since 1999 and when I look back on my history as a professional gambler, I much prefer to focus on the profits achieved over the long term, with 2006 producing incredible record breaking profits of over 475 points to Industry SP. Discipline and hard work always gets it's reward and despite a setback in 2007, the terrific profits achieved so far in 2008 only strengthens this principle. I offer all new Members a 30 days FREE trial of the service and in this period you are given the opportunity to experience for yourself just how it is possible to make a comfortable living out of the sport we all love so much, as well as being part of the bookiebasher community spirit which has always driven me to succeed. Please join me for a no obligation FREE trial let’s bash those bookies together!
