BTC Cup preview

darryn — Thu, 09 May 2013 10:47:06 +0000

By Todd Burmester The BTC Cup is the main event on Saturday at Eagle Farm. Initially there was some thought that Black Caviar may start, and thus the race was transferred from Doomben, but that’s another story all together. Without the wonder Mare, the field is still packed full of class, with the number 1 saddle cloth being worn by Buffering who will be looking for that elusive Group 1 win. I’m not going to be in his corner this time around however. I think there is every reason to like him following his narrow second at the hands of [...]

Goodwood Handicap Preview

Admin — Wed, 08 May 2013 02:07:59 +0000

By Rick Williams Below is our 2013 early preview of the Goodwood Handicap this weekend in Adelaide. We have provided the field below with the horses official handicap rating and also a column beside that to highlight the horses ability to run time to win a Group 1 at 1200m based on Vince Accardi’s IVR data. From what we have seen of these runners to date the two that profile the best at 1200m here are Moment of Change and Amaethon. Moment Of Change went awfully close in the Newmarket HCP when beaten on the line by 3yo Shamexpress. In [...]

Round 6 AFL Betting Previews

David — Fri, 03 May 2013 00:30:36 +0000

We’d like to warmly welcome two new AFL writers to Champion Picks. Andrew Chichello will give us his best bet each week and Sean Callander will preview every game. Andrew’s Best Nth Melbourne v Port Adelaide Saturday 4th May 2.10pm, Blundstone Arena North Melbourne comes into this game after a heartbreaking 3 point loss to flag favourites Hawthorn on Sunday. They dominated all the major stats in that game (possesions, clearances and inside 50s) but just lacked the polish and poise going forward that is needed to beat a real quality side. The fact that they have [...]

2013 Kentucky Derby Preview

Admin — Thu, 02 May 2013 05:25:45 +0000

Anthony Kelzenberg for Champion Picks Hello from the States! My name is Anthony Kelzenberg, and I am a professional punter that has spent the last 27 years following the American Triple Crown. Over that span, I picked some Kentucky Derby winners, and some years I didn’t have any of my choices finish in the first four. Racing can be fickle that way. And I would make the argument the Kentucky Derby is THE hardest race in the world to select a winner. The horses come from all over the USA (most without ever racing against each other) and on race [...]

Betting 360 Ep 001: Dave Talks Sectional Times With Vince Accardi

David — Thu, 02 May 2013 00:00:36 +0000

Dave catches up with Vince to discuss sectional times and how you can use them to your advantage when searching for betting opportunities. Vince has revolutionized the sectional times industry by providing truly accurate sectionals on his website DailySectionals.com.au. In Vince’s vast experience watching, analysing and re-watching race tapes paired with years at the track, he says that consistency is the name of the game when it comes to data flow and tracking sectionals. Whether you’re a national, state or carnival only punter, having accurate and consistent data for your preferred race type is critical when betting based on sectional [...]

2013 Ashes Preview

darryn — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 02:12:25 +0000

Please note this is a guest post by Steve Turner and is not connected in any way with Champion Profits. The Australian Cricket team has been selected and contains six Batsmen (I use the term loosely), 2 keepers, 6 pace bowlers, 1 spinner and 1 all rounder who hates to bowl. Whilst our pace bowling looks like it may cause a few problems for the Poms, our batting and keeping are of such poor standards that I can see nothing but a commanding English victory. And it hurts to say that. Warner will finally be exposed for what he is. [...]

Randwick review compiled by Todd Burmester Race 1 1st Usanity Hugh Bowman 2nd Honorius Michael Rodd 3rd Kingdoms Craig Williams A pretty good start in the first, with Toydini sent out a very short priced favourite. Laser Flash worked around Cameo to go to the front, and they slowed the speed. Toydini got back to last, in what looked like a deliberate move to continue to teach the horse to [...]

The profitability equation

Admin — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 01:02:08 +0000

Profitability is the holy grail of punting. It is what everyone strives for, yet struggles to achieve. How are long term profits generated? Because a boost to your betting bank is the end result, but how did you get to that stage in the first place? Here is a very simple yet powerful equation: Profitability = Reality – Perception So profitability is the difference between reality (what actually happens) and perception (what the market expects to happen). Odds of $5 represent a 20% winning chance, which means the only way to achieve profitability at those odds is to win more [...]

The bridge between failure and success

Admin — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 07:12:44 +0000

Rather than stats, sectionals or form analysis this week I’d like to discuss two absolutely essential personal traits required if you are to succeed as a punter. They can teach you lessons the hard way, but will help you achieve the results you want. They can make you disappointed or angry, but you’ll be a better punter because of them. I am talking about honesty and discipline. Discipline is the bridge between your punting goals and achieving them. But without honesty you won’t even be able to find the bridge in the first place. Most punters who suffer through another [...]

Don’t assume that big odds means big value

Admin — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 23:44:48 +0000

‘This horse is great value at those short odds’ is not a phrase you hear very often at all. However if racing pundits had a better grasp of the favourite/longshot bias then a saying like that might actually become more prevalent. That is because it has been proven over many years that as odds increase, returns decrease. Longshots are overbet, while favourites are underbet. Many punters assume that horses hard in the market are unlikely to be good value, but that is an incorrect assumption because favourites are clearly the best betting propositions and have been for more than half [...]
