DJ where do you find these odds mate pre-race...Fair dinkum, I am not on your case because you tip losers, I tip them too, not that I mean to tip losers, but I don't talk them up, I don't pretend to be in Hong Kong, when I'm in fact in Oz, but you talk yourself up like there is no tomorrow. I wonder are you out to make some $$$ from tips, or are you the pro you make out you are. I ask this, because if you are SO good, why bother, making 10 or 20 bucks to reveal your tips that you bet on (i assume/hope you do)
I personally get the feeling you are a pro spruiker who knows a bit about the horses%u2026All this get on, spank bookies, it's all fluff if you don't follow up%u2026Like a footy team, you are only as good as your last game mate. I guess I'm asking what is your purpose here? If it was to educate the punters, just post in the forums and not ask 20 for 4 tips, because they are not that exclusive!!!

Well, I'm personally disappointed that [BestChance} isn't Batman. That would have been exciting. Almost as exciting as the 4 horse all-up I have for all of you at Bunbury tomorrow...

Everyone's entitled to voice there own opinion but seriously DJ'S handicapping skills have alot to be desired and belong back in the cave times. But if your trying to market a product then DJ is your man...doesn't have to be a good product

On a serious note i recently asked DJ that Maybe you should give the punters an indication of which bookie has what odds available DJ so they don't have to search and then miss the price....

And his response was

I can't do that Plugger, it would completely crush that poor bookie! Some of them limit my bets as it is! My Hong Kong bets that is ..... they let me on for whatever I want with my Melbourne bets, lol. (But remember it only takes ONE Killer All Up and those Melbourne bookies will learn a good lesson!)

Come on DJ this is rubbish and if you take your price first then your set, so why would it matter ? Price is the important part of the betting process for longterm profitability so why wouldn't you help your devoted customers ??

Maybe DJ you should get a hold of
Gallopers and Gamblers by Pat Craven (an excellent resource that will teach you nearly all there is to know about punting and non punting aspects of racing) You can order this book online through the Tuxedo Bookshop

The Australian Horse Racing and Punters Guide by Rem Plante is a racing bible and definitely worth picking up. It was written in the 70's so much of the class structures etc. are not relevant but the advice about racing and how to win is outstanding. This book is long out of print and The Horsemans Bookshop is probably the only place you can get a copy.

Winning More by Don Scott. Don was a legendary punter in his day and this book will teach you alot of the fundamentals about racing, particularly class. Make sure though you do get Winning More and not his last book, Winning in the 90's, which would not be as relevant to you.

Hats in the Ring by Allan Aitken - an excellent book which you will learn alot from.

Horse Racing Theory and Practice by Paul Seager. Also an excellent information source to learn about punting.

These are the pick of the books available on the Australian market for someone who wants to learn how to actually study form, assess chances and determine value bets with confidence. Each will set you back about $45 with the exception of Hats in the Ring which is about $25 and Rem Plante's book which goes for about $75, primarily because its out of print, but secondly because it's a racing bible and so hard to get.

A lot of those books (if not all) are for babies to the racing game. DJ clearly does not fit that description.

I see you've deleted your post about Sarah, Plugger. Don't like her work?

Sinestro

Oh alright then, if you want to be serious - try Roger Biggs. His books are far more insightful and relevant to the modern day punter.
