Backing The Most Tipped Horses (16 Aug)

Yesterday’s Selections were a bit of a mixed Bag odds wise and with 2 drifting and 2 getting shorter I was glad I put my bets on early. The first one away was Bloomington Bride which drifted out to 1.91 from 1.44 but alas was beaten also Boltaway didn’t come first either and held its odds of 2.38 to no avail. The third selection was 3/1 (4.00) Sky Blue Thinking which not only had a rule 4 10p reduction but also started the race at odds of 2.37 and favourite to win – which it did – just but a win is a win and after my 10p was thieved from me I was left with the equivalent odds of 3.70. Cant complain at that!
No four yesterday was Alpha Cru which also won and by 3.5 lengths. Backing it at 1.83 in the morning at 1.83 saw it drift out to 2.4 by post time and an extra 57p thank you very much which didnt quite make up for the 2 that lost but cancelled out the Rule 4 deduction imposed upon Sky Blue Thinking.
Todays 4 most tipped selections are as follows
1. Smooth Spirit 14:40 Lingfield backed at 2.75 at 09:04am
2. Nadein 16:05 Catterick backed at 1.25 at 9:05am
3. Rose Barton 17:25 Windsorbacked at 2.38 at 9:06am
4. Sir Tivo 20:05 Bangor-on-Dee backed at 2.75 at 9:07am

NAPS Betting

What is a NAP? apart from a short sleep a Racing Nap is a tipsters best bet of the day. Derived from the card game Napoleon in which the best hand is a Napoleon or NAP. Its as simple as that so stop trying to work out the acronym.
The racing Post runs a “NAPS Table” for the racing press who are invited to submit their “best bet” of the day with points being given as the equivalent winnings at S.P. to a level £1.00 stake. For instance if the horse wins at odds of 4/1 then they will be awarded £4.00 and if it loses then a subtraction of £1.00. At the time of writing this Blog the current Leader is Templegate from the Sun newspaper with a positive balance of £46.68 and a losing streak of 4 days.
Everyone has their favourite tipster and you can make up your own mind who to follow if any at all but backing the NAP of a serious tipster means just 1 bet per day. When I say “serious Tipster” I say it with a certain amount of scepticism as I suspect that some journalists in the table are perhaps pinning the racing page up on the wall and chucking a dart at it and submitting the horse closest to the hole it made. I refer in particular to the lower end of the table where some 66/1 outsiders are being tipped! surely these cannot be their best bets of the day.
I am not an advocate of staking plans but in this case I will follow the Sporting Life Nap using the 10% method of staking just to make it interesting.
I started on July 12 (Monday) and as luck would have it the NAP won at 2.25 and working from an initial bank of £10.00 after day 1 my bank stood at £12.25! None have won yet since and the bank now stands at £8.37 with Pretty Green to run at Nottingham today with 84p riding on it at odds of 4.5 (7/2) and BOG if the price lengthens.
I ill try and update this post on a daily basis but work commitments may dictate otherwise.
Pretty Green lost and focus switched to Saturdays NAP which is Mountain Peak Running at Haydock and with my bank running at £7.53, 75p goes on the selection at odds of 3.5 (5/2)
5th Place is all it could manage which brings a losing streak of 5. Sundays NAP is Moneykenny and I am just waiting until 9am to ensure I get BOG
