27.93 points profit to the 10 points staked.

Can you see...

Can you see why I am so excited about R9?

The three bet types allow people to manage risk and reward.

I have started going back through historical data but, only for the place selections.

Had you just used the best 3 place selections yesterday (and bet to level stakes, although I far prefer advised staking) you would have had 4.05 points profit (assuming a 2% commission) for your 3 points staked.

One of the strategies that just cries out to be looked at is to use a 10 point stake.

You then use the Chancers Bets place selections and bet 1 point on each of them to win.

The remaining 7 points are then shared over the 3 place bets but adjusted so that you are betting more on those selections with a higher Reward/Risk Ratio.

This would have worked very well yesterday.

From today I shall add a Place Bets section to the selections.

I'm a bit behind on my admin work but, if you are a Focus Ratings member you can get the R9 Portfolio selections email for free; just email me and I'll put you on the list.

Members of Place Profits, EarlyBird Ratings and Intelligent Betting (full or free) can get these selections for just £10 a month once I've got my arse in gear and got the PayPal and Clickbank stuff set up.

In the meantime, for members of those services, if you want the selections, just let me know and I'll put you on the list - it'll be a sort of free trial.

Now, I know that this is a totally new way of betting - at least, I've never seen another service that does this sort of thing.

Thus, I do need to write a series of articles to explain the philosophy behind it and, how the selections are worked out.

But, before then...

I need to invent a 25 hour day and an 8 day week.


Task List...

In order to be honest and truly transparent with you...

I will now be publishing my task list on the Morning News.

You will be able to see what I am working on and, more importantly, what progress I am making.

Here are the current tasks...

T01). Work out a number of strategies to utilise R9 and provide Focus Rating members free Portfolio Betting selections across a number of different betting strategies (win backing, place backing, dutching, laying and, the other thing that I described that I don't know what it is called) on a daily basis.

T02). For Compass Ratings, display, on screen and via a email PDF, the twice weekly updated trainer/jockey win/place strike rates.

T03). For Compass Ratings, complete the eBook that explains all the weird and wonderful things that I have learned about Hong Kong Horse racing.

T04). Complete PaperTradeIt.com - a free site where you can privately log your bets and get Strike Rate, POI (to ISP and BSP) data and losing run analysis on those bets.

I'm trying to knock off the easy/quick jobs first in order to reduce the size of the list; the size of the list scares me sometimes and, believe me, I have twice as many jobs on the Admin/BAU (Business As Usual - things like automated scripts, backups and server log file analysis - stuff that all website owners have to do) task list to get through as well.

Something to make you smile...


The Great White Hunter...

A wealthy American man has retired and is entering old age. Fearing that he hasn't lived his life to the fullest, he decides that the first thing he will do with his funds will be to fulfill a childhood dream of his: to go hunting in Africa and take down a gorilla.

He promptly arranges a flight to Africa. When he arrives, he tells the locals his intentions of gorilla hunting and asks for their recommendations. They recommend he hunts with the famous "Great White Hunter," easily the best big-game hunter on the planet.

The man contacts the Great White Hunter and tells him that he wishes to hunt gorillas. The Great White Hunter tells him that this will be no problem, but that it will cost the man $1,000 per day. "Two hundred dollars for food and transportation," he says, "and two hundred dollars for each member of my crew: me, the Watusi, the dog, and the Pygmy with a gun."

The man decides that it is a fair amount of cash to pay and the next day he flies out to the jungle on a biplane to meet with the Great White Hunter. There they set up camp and sure enough, the Great White Hunter has with him a Watusi, a dog, and a Pygmy with a gun.

The American man, the Great White Hunter, the Watusi, the dog, and the Pygmy with a gun all head out hunting for gorillas early the next day. The Great White Hunter uses his famous skills and wisdom to track down a gorilla almost immediately. They push aside some bushes and, much to the American man's delight, they see a massive gorilla hanging out in a tree. The gorilla sees them and begins jumping on the branch, jumping on the branch aggressively.

Without hesitation, the Great White Hunter shouts a command to the Watusi, who sprints at the tree and climbs up to the gorilla's branch, and begins jumping on the branch, jumping on the branch alongside the gorilla. This carries on for nearly a minute before the gorilla begins to lose its balance. It slips and tumbles almost twenty feet to the forest floor. When it hits the ground, before it can do anything, the dog runs up and bites the gorilla in the testicles. The Great White Hunter then throws a net over the subdued Gorilla, and it's captured.

Later that night, the American man is going to sleep in his tent, a big smile on his face, happily reminiscing on the hunting trip. He'd actually seen and caught a Gorilla! Tomorrow more adventure was no doubt at hand. The Great White Hunter told him that he'd get to throw the net! That's when he realized something: The Pygmy with a gun didn't do shit!

The next morning, the American man, the Great White Hunter, the Watusi, the dog, and the Pygmy with a gun go out hunting again, and the American man vows to watch the Pygmy with a gun carefully to try and see what he does to help. Like before, the Great White Hunter tracks down a gorilla in no time. The gorilla, hanging out in a tree, sees them, and begins jumping up and down, jumping up and down on the branch. The Hunter shouts a command to the Watusi, who scales the tree to the gorilla and begins to jump up and down, up and down on the branch. The gorilla loses its balance and plummets to the forest floor, where the dog bites it in the balls. The American man and the Great White Hunter throw the net over the gorilla, and it's captured.

Once again, the man realizes, the Pygmy with a gun didn't do shit!

The next morning, the man, angry that he's paying so much extra money for a useless team mate, approaches the Great White Hunter. "Hey," he says, "I've been watching, and the Pygmy with a gun doesn't do shit! What gives? I'm not going to pay for him!"

The Great White Hunter calmly replies, "I'm sorry, but that's the way it is. He's an essential part of the team, always will be. You pay for the Pygmy, or we don't hunt."

The man begrudgingly accepts the Great White Hunter's ultimatum.

The man, the Great White Hunter, the Watusi, the dog, and the Pygmy with a gun all go out hunting again. It's not long before the Great White Hunter tracks down a gorilla, an especially big one, who begins jumping up and down, jumping up and down in his tree. The Great White Hunter shouts to the Watusi, who climbs the tree, climbs out on the gorilla's branch, and begins jumping up and down, jumping up and down on the branch with the gorilla. After about thirty seconds, however, the Watusi begins to lose his balance. He slips and falls! As the Watusi is plummeting to the forest floor, he cries out:
"Shoot the dog! Shoot the dog!"
