One year of hell, temper tantrums, staying up 'til 4am at weekends was taking it's toll never mind my daytime job as a computer consultant!
I started with the national hunt horse racing first as this was my first love, especially that legend of a horse Istabraq the best hurdler we will ever see in my opinion!
The computer program coding went well and I started to see patterns as I was crunching 10 years of data for a horse in seconds. The slightest tweak to weight carried by a horse at various tracks in different class over various distances revealed some great data. I kept on fine tuning the programs until I had consistent results.
After about 6 months working on the national hunt horse races I moved onto flat racing and then all weather races in the UK. I managed to code these computer programs in approximately 3 months as I had learnt so much from the national hunt races.
I was ready to write the systems in 5 eBooks and help fellow punters enjoy horse racing and make money.
At the time I had a number of customers who would pay me commission in return for me giving them my horse racing tips. This worked very well as I had serious punters who knew what horse racing was like the ups and downs.
One day my systems threw up 6 good horses so I emailed the horses to my clients and decided that I would put these in a Betfair mutiple bet, i.e. accumulators not really my type of bet. My wife was due to visit the hospital that day and I was a bit anxious. Whilst driving her to the hospital I had forgot to place the bet but I thought it was a fun bet and these bets winning are very rare!
My wife was fine and that was the main thing. Whilst checking my emails I noticed my clients emailing me expressing their thanks and sending me commision money on their winnings. That sinking feeling hit me!
I slowly started checking the horse racing results hoping one selection had got beaten, no it was not to be all 6 horses had won and I missed out on a 1 million pounds payday! |
