12 February 2012 234.1 – Paul Gamble is in the chair hosting this week’s Sportzfan Radio and the Professor, who spent the past week in the U.S. for the NFL Super Bowl, gets to sit back and just be a ‘normal’ member of the Panel. Paul Dalligan and Sportzfan Stan round out the Panel and Paul opens by talking about the ABL Grand Final between Perth Heat and Melbourne Aces. The Professor felt that the Super Bowl was anti-climatic for anyone not a New York Giants fan and was critical of the inaccurate, over-hyped coverage that the Australian news gave to the reports of Gisele Bundchen, wife of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, abusing fans. He said the post Super Bowl news buzzed with questions of whether the Colts will retain Peyton Manning, their quarterback since 1999, who is worth 23 million if they don’t cut him by the first week in March. Sportzfan Stan’s rant was on the two year suspension handed out bythe Court of Arbitration for Sport to Alberto Contador. He was also stripped of his 2010 Tour de France title after his positive test for the steroid clenbuterol. The Professor said the penalty was a farce as Contador has been competing regardless. The Gelding talks horse racing and Black Caviar’s easy win. He also reports on Danish Rock who is now in Mick Price’s stables at Caulfield and is described as a fit colt running even times. Nick Tedeschi comes on to talk NRL and his 2012 Punter’s Guide to the NRL. He is reserving his opinion on the Bulldogs at the moment. Dalligan’s “Dark Horse” for the year is the Cronulla Sharks.

Sydney Colt’s Mail for Rosehill 11 February 2012
Sydney Colt groupies will recall my post where I declared 2012 will be a year of certain profit and I will indicate what to bet on (Best Of Best odds with Luxbet or Centrebet only) and how much to bet. Our bets will be few in number but we are aiming at ensuring a profit this year.
NO BETS TODAY. The track is too wet to ask you to put your money on. I will not be betting! For Punt Drunks only consider race 1 n 2 Jade Marauder race 2 n5 You Got The Love and race 10 n8 Charing Cross e/w
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.

Sydney Colt 21 January
With apologies to Sydney Colt groupies and Punt Drunks everywhere, there are no bets today. It is pelting rain in Sydney as I write and we had just one potential bet who needs it bone dry. Owing to other commitments there will be no bets next Saturday. Hopefully you have your Centrebet or Luxbet accounts topped up and we can fire on 4 Feb.
Looking forward to next Friday night and the return of Black Caviar.
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
Gelding’s tips for 21 January 2012
The Gelding’s attention remains on Flemington and he hopes that after two weeks of slowly getting back into the swing of things, he has some selections today that will not only be successful but also provide some value for punters.
Memo to those who judge the pattern of racing……if seven out of eight races shows the winners to come from the first two horses at the 400 metre mark…..the pattern of racing is NOT even!
As always the bets are on an each way and all up basis.
Flemington

Race 4 Horse 4 – Viking Hero (for the ladies at the Tennis club)
Race 5 Horse 11 – Flyingconi (you could quinella it with Horse 10 Smoking Joey)

Winning with the Sydney Colt in 2012
Wishing a happy 2012 to Sydney Colt groupies and Punt Drunks everywhere.
I am promising, yes promising, a profit to followers of my bets this year. We will be doing things a little different in 2012. Firstly, you need to ensure you have a topped up account with either Centrebet or Luxbet. This is because ALL of our bets will be WIN ONLY at their BOBS service which offers the best dividend from the bookmaker fluctuations or best of the 3 totes whichever is greater.
With BOBS all bets must be placed 40 minutes before a race. This won’t be a problem as I will post by 11.00am.
I will tell you who to bet on and how much to bet. If you don’t like to bet in hundreds then percentage it down. I suggest you follow and bet as indicated.
Each week we will show the profit/loss results and the Professor will also update during the racing segment each Sunday. The number of tips/bets will be substantially less than in previous years as we are about ensuring a profit for you. Some weeks will see no bets whatsoever.
Ok, get ready and enjoy the ride. A profit is coming your way. Remember my bets come from those who make a living on the punt.
What are you waiting for? Don’t you dare fall asleep at the wheel!!
Money lost, nothing lost. Confidence lost, everything lost.
