2005 Betting Tips Results

Another year over and 2005 was our best year for tips yet. After a slow start with a few tied 5ths, we felt the gods were against us, especially when Barry Lane imploded up the last to lose in Portugal at 33/1. However we persisted with our policy of finding hidden value and Billy Mayfair and Tim Clark got us into the black, with Lucas Glover providing the icing on the cake with a £1875 win late in the year for a total profit of over £2600. Hopefully we can keep it up in 2006!

Shown below is the performance of our tips based on a nominal £20 bet per week (£20 win or £10 each way (E/W) based on a quarter odds for first 5 finishers).
