Exactly Raybo, there is no need to ever take a tip from anyone, everyone should do their own thing.

Still you cannot follow my tip if I never tell you and that is pretty much the point.

I have tried to educate tipsters over the years, most recently Brad Davidson. The guy makes me laugh with his insane comments and he honestly believes the tripe he spouts. For some reason he thinks he is a God when he tips 5 out 10 at a meeting. I mean honestly, get a grip, that is a pass mark.
However he is a pretty good form analyst and he has some modest success but 14% profit on 2K of bets per meeting is not anything to get excited about.
Like most tipsters he ignores 2/3 rd of the field when doing analysis and draws illogical conclusions. So by all means listen to what he says but make your own determination.
There is a massive chasm between form analysis and tipping. Analysis works best for major races only as all the form is usually relatable but tipping is simply identifying which horse is ready to win on that day, form plays only a small part in that.

I can usually tell you with certainty who he is going to pick in any given race. Too predictable.

My Saturday was another slowish one, picked up a few thousand from a combined outlay of about $250 but I gamble every day so it just funds my week.
Picked up around 1.5K on Sunday from about $50 worth of bets mainly thanks to an 18-1 into an 80-1 winner but missed both trifectas which peed me off.
Would normally have got stuck into Happy Valley as well but I was a bit too annoyed with the days gambling. There is always an easy 4 or 5 winners there.
Not bothering today as only one meeting on, it is a hobby, keeps me busy and pays for my mistresses.
Been at this for over 50 years and spend at least 20-30 mins a day doing form at about 5mins per meeting.

On the other end I have some horrid runs of losing, thought about quitting last October as I had gone 5 weeks without a 2K plus collect.


Apologies for dominating your thread....

Once again congrats on the weekend tip.
