The Form Analyst

None

No bets today and I’ll ease myself into this new week ahead. Monday’s haven’t tended to be good days for me and I’ve wasted countless Sunday nights looking at Monday’s cards for no bets or for a bet that runs poorly and therefore, if I was ever going to have a day off, Monday would be that day I think.

Thanks for the emails in reply to yesterday’s emails. Some interesting emails and I’ll reply to them all over the course of the week. I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea at this game and given the current run, some people would rather see me get my head in the form book and not wallow in self pity about the run we’re on but being honest, working hard on form study is what I’ve been doing for the past 6 weeks and it’s what I’ve been doing for the past 6 months. That hasn’t changed.

Anyone who has been here for a while or understands racing knows that this current spell has nothing to do with knowledge of the form book or tipping ability and simply, this game for me now is all in my head. It probably has always been that way since the beginning and after somehow finding a way to get the tips to match my knowledge and hard work for 4 months in the summer, I’ve slipped back into whatever was wrong before.

One of you commented on my honesty yesterday as you wouldn’t have hated me to say that everything was going to turn out great when clearly, I don’t have a clue if that is the case. In my opinion, whatever happens at this game, I’ll hold my head high in the sense I’ve worked the best I can and clearly, this tipping game may not just be for me. It doesn’t change me as a person or it doesn’t change anything regarding what I know about form and horse-racing and simply, I may not be a tipster. I’m a pretty intelligent guy and I’m sure I’ve got lots of other skills I can help you guys out with to make up for the fact I may not be a tipster and have cost you a few quid.

Saying all of the above, I still think it can work and therefore, that’s why I am continuing. You don’t go from being very good to hopeless overnight which appears to have been the case with me and therefore, there must still be a possibility of going from hopeless to very good again overnight.

I’m sure that JC from Tipping Legends will relish this fact but when I started out, he was the guy I looked up to most from a tipping point of view. He then appeared to lose form for a sustained period of time and then in the last few months, he’s bounced back and the last 12 months seem like some sort of distant memory. Simply, I need to somehow attempt to do something similar and therefore, that has to be the aim for me.

I’m not up to date with my results but I reckon I must have about 30pts left to play with and that’s the thing I’ll work to. I know some of you hate the fact I think like this but I’m not kidding myself or any of you. I’ve only lost 30pts in 4 spells with the service in a 14 months spell, so clearly, it’s still odds against that I lose these 30pts. I’m not finished yet!

I’ll be back tomorrow and we’ll see what happens over the next few weeks. Whatever happens, I’m sure it won’t be boring!
