It's been a quiet start to August with the world and his wife apparently all away on holiday. Now that the flow of support emails has slowed down I've had a bit more time to concentrate on writing and developing (which is not to say I'm not still punting - though I'm just following Nova's fillies system and my own "Philosopher Stone" right now). Bismarx bets take care of themselves thanks to the Bismarx bot, so you won't find much reference to them here.

Glorious Goodwood started with the usual fanfair and media hype, which only confirms my belief that racing opportunities are there to be found every day of the year (yes- even on the all-weather, or even in the bleak midwinter!). Sometimes you just have to hunt a little harder to find them....

I've been playing a fair few poker tournaments online and doing reasonably well. Sit and Goes and Heads Up contests appeal to me particularly since the odds of a win are that much more favourable when there are less players round the table. With 1st-3rd position paying out you start a 9/10 S&G tournament with a 3/1 shot of making it into the money be doing very little at all. I do know some chaps who make a living doing just this, and I'd be intrigued to hear of your experiences with these online tournies.

I've been sifting through the Clickbank marketplace always eager to investigate new racing systems only to find there's very little "new" out there and many reports are depressingly rehashes of strategies that have been out for awhile. Often it's simply the same old thing with a fresh lick of paint on the cover. Rest assured if anything halfway decent turns up I'll test it, review it, and stick it on here (unlike some that I could mention I don't have advertisers, home biz "gurus" or bolshy editors breathing down my neck.....).

Until next time.
