Sydney Colt Bets On WSOP 2010 Main Event Winner

The below market is taken from Betchoice.com.au where punt drunks can gamble on the final table winner of the 2010 World Series Of Poker. The number in brackets is the chip stack each player will take to the final table. The “November 9” will battle it out for a 1st prize of around $US9M with the 1st 8 all receiving $1M+.

As mentioned on air last Sunday I am backing both Mizarachi at $8.75 and Cheong at $9.0 These 2 represent experience at the top level and I rate them both at around $6.5. Hence, I like the value they represent. This will be an enormous advantage as the less experienced players begin to have their nerves tested under pressure. They will be sledged about potentially making mistakes while the cameras and millions of viewers see and judge their every move. The 2 chip leaders are relative new comers to the big stage, with Duhamel being only 22 years of age.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 14 August

We turned a small profit last week and I expect we may do the same today. No value whatsoever but astute betting with the corporate bookies will give us an advantage.

Race 3 n5 MISS INDEPENDENT Nice last start win and again well placed. We need to pray for some genuine pace otherwise the fav may get a soft lead.

Race 4 n6 WINTER KING With all the scratchings this neddy is now tomato sauce odds. Does look too nippy for this lot. Paying better than bank interest.

Race 6 n7 SQUAMOSA This horse is race fit, is well placed with the weights, has been killing them in track gallops and is trained by Gai. Did I miss anything?

Race 7 n5 KHEMOSABI My pro punter pal tells me he has been reading the smoke signals about this neddy all week. He has already this morning invested a 5 figure sum on this race fit neddy. I’m following him in, what about you?

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick

Great to catch up with the Professor during the week over a meal and a red or three! Unfortunately the Gelding was restricted to the stable. Next time old mate.

Race 1 n5 HIDDEN WONDER Comes in nicely based on ratings and loves the mile trip. Will be on the pace and will look the winner in the straight

Race 2 n3 DAL DAL No prize for picking this neddy as every man and his dog has jumped on. Gai has thrown the blinkers on and the pro punters took the early price bet by the corporate bookies

Race 6 n2 DECISION TIME The best horse in the race without question! Trialled brilliantly and is a super e/w bet. If this race was 200m longer I would declare this neddy.

Race 8 n 10 SUPERNOVA and n12 STORM KITE Finish the day with a few dollars e/w both of these. Our ratings man says they are the best placed and their current prices are very inviting

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 31 July

Happy birthday tomorrow to all those beautiful nags who filled our pockets with lobster purchasing cash over the past 12 months! A very wet track at Rosehill means it is a day for punt drunks and Sydney Colt groupies.

Race 1 n2 AFRICAN PRINCE Will love the ‘heavy 10’ track and the pull in the weights

Race 2 n3 BACK ON TOP A pro punter convinced me to make this the ‘banker’ bet of the day. This neddy eats mud for breakfast and is very fit and in form.

Race 4 n1 MAGIC MODEL Pro punters in the know jumped all over the corporate bookies when early prices were released. I am told it has trialled outstandingly. At the time of writing this post the bookies are still betting a good e/w price (it will not stay that way!).

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 24 July

2 from 3 last week saw lobster back on the menu. Thanks to the tip straight from Gai’s stable. I hope you read the post and benefited from that insight. This week it’s Friday night mail and not as strong. Fingers crossed.

Race 3 n2 WITH ICE In form galloper who is nicely placed based on ratings. Likes wet tracks.

Race 4 n2 SQUAMOSA Short price but the word from the track is that Gai has a very smart neddy here who will be too classy for this lot.

Race 6 n8 NOT A SNIP A DOUBT e/w I am told this neddy is now jumping out of its skin after 2 warm up runs from a long break. Great chance at e/w odds.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Rosehill 17 July

We have gained some good mail for today’s races. Nothing fancy about the prices of the 3 tips but I expect a profitable day. If you bet with the corporate bookies and not the thieving local tote you will win more.

Race 1 n5 CROSSBOW Won a ‘no race’ where it ran great sectionals. Only has to match that effort to win this with ease. Know a pro punter who got some good oil direct from Gai’s stable on this neddy.

Race 4 n2 FUSAKEO Another from Gai’s stable. Nash will control the pace of this race up front. Well suited being back 200m from its last start 2nd to a promising horse.

Race 5 n6 ATOMIC FORCE Extremely well placed here because (a) lack of pace (b) weight drop and (c) dryer track = 3 good reasons to have a small flutter.

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick 10 July

Hope you enjoyed the feeding frenzy last week with 3 winners from 4 tips. Better value this week. Cannot promise fluent prose but can assure you of a likely winning day if you bet astutely on the mail today.

R1 n3 Beg This one steps up to 1400m which is a huge plus.

R2 n1 OFFHANDED Bet of the day! Small field which unfortunately robs us of a price. I am told the barrier trial sectionals were outstanding. Jump aboard if you love winning.

Race 4 n6 DEE BEE NINE e/w Great e/w chance from Gai’s stable. Beaten in fast sectionals and down in weight. The pro punters have backed this already at $11 and $9. I had a small slice at $10 e/w

Race 5 n4 KICK N CHASE e/w Last start winner who comes in very well at the weights

R6 n8 ADMIRALS HONOUR e/w Bookies are betting double figures but they may have missed the fact this neddy has been the subject of ‘hit’ rides at its past 2 runs. Value!

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For 3 July 2010

Plenty of mail around from 2 pro punters and man who provides a ratings and pricing service for 2 rails bookies. Not much value but winners seemed assured. Last week we had 1 win from 2 selections with Huckelberry Friend a scratching (I’m told Gelding apparently said on the radio show it ran last – maybe he was given that bum steer by his friend Bendigo Betty)

Race 2 n7 Dal Dal Won 1 from 1 for Gai and I’m told the stable cash is going on this one.

Race 3 n6 Skyerush Last start winner who will get a suck run from barrier 1

Race 5 n1 Tripple Elegance Chris Waller has this neddy flying with wins at its past 2 starts

Race 7 n6 Electric Dreams Great run 1st up from spell when wide all way for 4th behind superstars Loce Conquers All and Hay List. This is a significantly weaker race.

Moeny lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt's Mail For Randwick Sat 26 June

If the track gets no rain before they race tomorrow we can punt with a degree of confidence.

Race 4 n 5 Hidden Wonder e/w The pro punters stepped into this one early and it is now a $4.0 fav. Backed e/w it is a bet to nothing. Third up from spell and barrier 2 will see it get the suck run. “Thriving” I’m told!

Race 5 n2 Brasileira Topical tip. Second up and they tell me Snowden has this cherry ripe. Pros believe it to be the bet of the program on ratings.

Race 6 n 10 Huckelberry Friend e/w Word is that this neddy is improving on the track after it’s last start win, so the other should watch out!

Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Gelding – The King Of The Tipsters

Going back a couple of years, I was asked by the Professor if I would be interested in providing race selections for Sydney racing. It seemed my reputation as a punt drunk was known by more than my wife and a few mates. The Professor thought it would be good to have an addition to the tipster ranks (note I didn’t use the word rivalry). I accepted the offer but on 1 proviso, the tips I would be giving are a compilation of mail I gather from those who either punt for a living or sell information/ratings/track work etc for a living. You see, the truth of the matter is, even in a life and death situation, I am incapable of backing a winner of my own picking. Like those who ring me on a Saturday or those who may glance at the Sydney Colt’s posts on this site, I punt on the information and expertise of others.
