Weekly Round Up -- August Newsletter # 9

Frustrating weekend and a losing week. Nothing fell into place on Saturday afternoon. I had five horses all very marginal around the 3.30-3.50 range and passed on three and played on two. The bet ones were beaten and the left ones all won. Allied with Raposo's unlucky run early in the afternoon it all contributed to an afternoon of real frustration. It all evens itself out over time of course and I did manage to hit back with a modest profit on Saturday's UK racing.

Reminder:
This will be the last month that I continue this way-blog bets and bets sent via Twitter. From September for 3 months I am trialing a members service where the advised bets will go out by sms. That takes in the Australian Spring Carnival and all the fantastic European Autumn action. Members will get an email on the days when bets are likely advising the possibility of bets in certain races and these will be confirmed by sms. I have had a few requests to start up a private service but I wanted to run the blog for a while so people can see that it is genuinely profitable over time. After almost two years I think I've done that emphatically.
Membership will be capped at 30 members and that number will never increase.The initial cost will be $100 per month or $200 if you subscribe for the whole 3 months. December I am taking off and if things have worked out OK the service will resume in January. Anyone interested in joining the service should email me: maxblakey@rocketmail.com and I will email back full details. Your email address will never be passed on to third parties.
The blog will continue after this month and I'll still look at a race or two on the better days and pass on anything worthwhile.
