Another winning ticket yesterday but, again, the dividend was measly meaning profits were, too. Still 25% ROI is not terrible and clawed back some of the Monday deficit. Wednesday is my final contribution in this stint - Chris is back tomorrow - and I think we'll stay over jumps. It's cold out there, Hexham failing […]
After 17 straight winners highlighted across three days, we came down to earth with a mighty bump in the last leg of yesterday's Leicester placepot, as one of the two A picks refused to race and took no part; and the other performed little better. Galling was that the favourite for a bang in form […]
Another small profit on Saturday, which was a pity as the post highlighted all six winners including 10/1 Il Ridoto in the big race; and four of the six exactas (1-2) which paid £8.10, £60.60, £8.50 and £21.80! There's plenty to go at again today, with jumps racing from Leicester, Plumpton and Exeter; and evening […]
A 49% ROI (£24 to £35.70) with Friday's Tix play at Cheltenham was more fun and giggles than rock and roll, but it keeps things ticking over. There's a bumper Saturday menu today, with the Paddy Power Gold Cup highlighting Cheltenham's November fixture, as well as high class action at Navan and competitive racing at […]
A nice win for Chris with Thursday's Tix play at Chelmsford, and there's plenty to go at today, Friday, with racing from Cheltenham's November meeting, as well as Newcastle, Punchestown and Southwell over jumps, and Wolverhampton and Dundalk this evening on the sand. If you're new around here, it's worth taking a moment to familiarise […]
A small winner on Saturday and a loser yesterday, and on we go to Tuesday. Chris is 'transitioning' from cold Lancashire to warm, sunny Bali for... checks notes... the next four weeks! Lucky bugger. He'll still be helping out from there, though, so he will be taking Tix Picks forward after this one from me... […]
A losing day on Friday, stakes of £18 returning only £4.33 after a leg 2 bomb out left just one 'C' ticket (below) remaining. That's often the case, of course, and on we go. Recap: What is Tix? A video explainer can be found here. You need a tote account to use Tix. Sign up […]
I was right to forecast soft ground for Salisbury yesterday. In fact, not quite right enough, because the fixture was abandoned an hour and a half before racing was scheduled to go ahead. What a shame for their big day of the year. To Friday, but first... What is Tix? A video explainer can […]
We're spending this week trying to formulate the optimal way to present Tix Picks, and what has immediately become apparent is the misleading nature of the early overnight markets. The upshot of that may be that we need to either publish much later the evening before or, better from an accuracy perspective/worse from an accessibility […]
Tix is software designed to help you make better multi-race (placepot, jackpot, etc) tote bets. A sister product to geegeez.co.uk, conceived and built by the same brains behind this website and its racing software, Tix is essentially a staking and placement tool. It optimizes your stakes and automatically places bets on your say so. Get […]
Tomorrow's meetings, pools and minimum guarantees are as follows: Tix Picks meeting / pool: Bath, placepot With short fields everywhere except Kilbeggan, today I'm going to have a look at the Bath placepot. It's not a perfect shape, with a four-runner opener (win only) and two eight-runner fields to close the sequence, we have […]
It's been a crazy, crazy summer. Looking at the photos on my phone screams good fortune: wins for Konigin Isabella (two) and especially Sure Touch in the £100,000 Summer Plate (all for geegeez racehorse syndicates), Centre Court for Ladies' Final day, Brighton with mates, Goodwood with mates, Norfolk with family, Dorset with family (including Leon's […]
An annual tradition on geegeez.co.uk is my singular public foray into the football betting markets. Singular for good reason: I'm no better guesser than the next person, assuming that person has a keen interest in kickball and likes data but doesn't tend to rummage too deeply due to other commitments. Caveat emptor from the get […]
And so to the fourth and final quarter of the geegeez.co.uk daily race previews, Friday, Day 4. Two Group 1's, led out by the relatively new Commonwealth Cup and followed up with a cracking Coronation Stakes, are the features but there's plenty to go at from start to end, beginning with the... 2.30 Albany Stakes […]
Eyes down look in for another full house: seven more devilishly difficult punting puzzles. And, as is the usual way of it during Royal Ascot, it's quality from top to bottom. The feature race of the day is the historic pinnacle of the whole week, the Gold Cup, a Group 1 contested over two and […]
