Below is a basic explanation of his strategy:
“The rationale behind my technique is relatively simple.... I target horses running in weak races who want to win. Let me explain myself. Many horses running in novice and maiden hurdles and maidens on the flat are there for the experience. These races revolve around the performance of one, two or possibly three horses, the rest do not want to get within 30 lengths of the winner otherwise there future as handicappers will be severely compromised. I never bet in handicaps for this reason, there is simply too much going on in these markets.
Weak maidens on the flat are often targeted by powerful stables often so that fillies become winners for breeding purposes (as their paddock value increases considerably). In other words some of these races have a nice shape for us to target, the kind of book being 11/10 fav, 15/8 2nd fav 11/2 3rd fav and 10/1 bar. Bookmakers rarely win in these races, if they do it is because they have taken an opinion against the favourite and got it beat. They seldom, if ever, take each way bets against the 3rd favourite. Bookmakers hate such markets ... that's why I concentrate on them.
So the shape of the market is important, I genuinely don't want to consider more than three horses, if I think more than three have a chance we don't play. Once I have identified these races, or markets as this is as much to do with maths as it is with horse racing, I look further into the form. I assess form, using rpr ratings and my own ratings. I assess track, trip, going, trainer form and race trend to highlight the horses with potential.
Once this is done I wait and watch to see how the market develops. The final piece in the jigsaw of the market is stable money. I trust some stables, some stables I just put a line through as backed horses lose and drifters win. Jonjo O'Neil for example, there are many more. For three years I have studied these markets very closely and I know who to trust and who to be wary of.
The advent of the exchanges has genuinely altered the betting industry. No longer can bookmakers stand a poor 4/6 favourite. If the horse is regarded as weak the exchanges very often out such information. As a consequence the markets have never been more accurate. This is inspite of the recent changes to the recording of S.P's. The big four often smash into the price of the favourite in weak markets at weak tracks. Often horse returned with an SP of 11/8 go off closer to 2/1 on Betfair. The Belfair price is the true market price.
The vast majority of early market moves fail; horse markets take 80% of their cash less than 10 minutes before the race. So whilst following these moves is interesting, for our purposes we want to see late support and/or weakness in the others at the front of the market. As a consequence selections will be made late, often 2/3 minutes prior to the off.
The technique is based on backing horses priced between 1/2 and 5/2 and hitting a strike rate of 60%. There will be an average of 8 selections per week and we will bet 5% of our bank on each. This is not going to change your life for ever; it is not a scheme to enable you to retire within 6 months. It will provide profits over time and provide a second income that is tax free. I want this to be a long term relationship not a one night stand! That is why I would like to discuss the idea with you before you sign up, so that you are comfortable with the strategy. Each selection will be e mailed/texted to you prior to the off you will simply need to place the bet through your Belfair account on line or over the phone. So that is 8 transactions per week. If I am not working, I generally work 6 days per week, I will text/email in the morning to inform you of this.
You will need a Betfair account with £1000 to start with and that's it. My terms are simple you pay £29 per month to cover administration and then 25% of your monthly profit. If the service makes no money I don't earn a penny, needless to say I am confident that this will not be the case”. Robert Sellers.
