I have got a really busy day today as I have meetings in Woking and Victoria so am unlikely to get involved today with the Wilkinson system. The evening will be dominated by watching Spurs versus Blackpool.

It is a nice crisp morning. Todays racing is from Yarmouth, Catterick and Wolverhampton so I am not expecting much from the portfolio systems. I am hoping the Wilkinson system can continue its rich vain of form though.
On Wednesday I am off to see Spurs play against Blackpool. Surely we can win this and progress in one cup and give ourselves something to keep the season alive. It is will be interesting to see what team and formation we start with. I am assuming Ramos will want a positive start so will put out a full strength side.

Wilkinson system:
Another very profitable day on this system. There were 7 selections of which 4 of them were winners. Magic glade won 4/5 bet365, encores won 4/1 boyles, im ova era dad 11/2 stan james and hatton flight 4/1 bet365. The losers were dart 5/2 william hill, futun 10/1 betdirect, dundry 10/3 betdirect.
Profit for the day: £271.36
Profit for the system month (day
89.58 points (£895.84)
5 star system:-
Fortunately all 3 selections were a little on the short side. With only 1 winner I was glad I was not tempted in.
Portfolio systems:-
A good winner from Brimardon at 11/2 (6/1 BOG). Other systems I had 2 losers but still a nice profit on the day.

It is pleasing to see that oddschecker.com have added the Best Odds Guaranteed markers to the odds site. I introduced this a couple of weeks ago on my odds comparison site. It will be interesting to see if they can keep pace with the future enhancements that I have planned in the next few weeks.

It is Monday morning again. I am still feeling shattered after what can only be described as a "total" weekend. It had everything and I only had one alcoholic drink all weekend too! Lets hope Ramos has a magic wand as Spurs once again conceded a goal in injury time.
No National Hunt meeting today as we have one flat meeting and two all weather meetings. Will be interesting to see how the Wilkinson systems goes today.

I went to lego land with my nieces and nephew so it was a day off from the racing for me. One portfolio race which lost.
I had 2 more winners on the Wilkinson system last night whilst I was out dancing Nawamees 9/4 betfred and Raiding Party 5/2 betfred.
Looking forward to going back to work for a rest it has been a long and tiring weekend.
I am on a keep fit campaign which I started yesterday. I have become unfit and overwright. I like to loose 3 stone and get back to a level of fitness where I can enjoy half marathons, bowl long spells or play 90 minutes of football all things I used to enjoy in the past.

Terrible day on the portfolio systems. They are well overdue some winners. The Wilkinson system has had an in and out day. Lots of selections today and a few winners. Leslingtaylor 3/1 betdirect, Kal barh 15/8 betdirect (sorry Ron Bot), Ibn Khdum 17/4 Willaim Hill, Kings Brook 11/4 betdirect and finally Heaven Knows 9/2 boyles. Currently it stands at £47.85 profit for the day but it I have a few selections to run at both Wolverhampton and Monmonth Park so it could go either way.
Betting was a little difficult today with both the William Hill and Coral sites being particularly slow. Betfair also had a little bit of wobly patch around 2.45. Things do still look good though for the Wilkinson system and 5 star system. It is looking more and more likely that I won’t have any bought in systems next year and will just concentrate on my own.
It has been a very interesting year and truly believe I have learnt a lot of things. Yes, I hoped things would have turned out a little different but I am glad I have gone through this experience.

A surprisingly quiet day on the Wilkinson system with just 4 bets in the afternoon racing. This resulted in 2 excellent winners in Naval Review at 10/3 boyles and suits me at 5/1 with Stan James. A profit of £87.05 for the day. This takes the monthly profit to £594.41 after 5 days.
I was out for my sisters birthday last night so I had no involvement at Wolverhampton which by the looks of the results would have netted further profit. The beauty of this system is that you can have breaks and are not tied to specific times.
Saturday’s tend to be quiet busy on the Wilkinson system so it will be interesting to see how today goes. No selections yesterday on the portfolio systems.

Well after 2 enjoyable seasons as a Spurs normal service was resumed this season. The problem is the same as it has been since 1987 we simply do not defend as a team. We have had periods when players like Sol Campbell and Ledley King have been able to plug some of the gaps but when they are not fit Spurs are a soft touch. The last 2 seasons we have been able to score enough goals to mask this problem but this has not been the case this season.
It will be interesting to see who comes in and what sort of reaction they receive from the players. For sure Spurs have talent but do they had the belief, desire and fight only time will tell. I am very much in depressed state as I don’t believe things will get sorted quickly. I feel the board have acted in a poor way and this has affected the players and left Martin Jol in untenable position.
On the racing front it was a bad day for the portfolio systems. There was one nice winner with Relinquished at 11/2 but other than that it was a big wipe out. The 5 star system had a loser after 6 winners. The Wilkinson system had a small losing day as well. The highlights were Maxwill 4/6 bet365, transcend 3/1 stan james, bermencha 15/8 bet365 and longuela 4/1 stan james.
