Historically, ante-post advice has been included in the main TVB service. However, it is an area that splits subscribers like no other:
Some love it - whilst others hate it !
Whatever the pros and cons, what can't be denied is that it makes for a very volatile P&L.
It generally only takes one winner to make a season - but as the winners are likely to be at big double figure odds, they are far from guaranteed to materialise...
Consequently, I made the decision to take ante-post out of the main subscription service - and offer it instead via a free blog.
This means that those subscribers who want to follow it can do - and those who don't will feel under no obligation to do so.
In terms of what will be offered then:
It is my intention (time permitting !) to tackle all of the big races throughout the season.
Obviously, there will be a strong bias towards the Cheltenham festival - but I will also look to cover races such as the Paddy Power Gold cup, the Hennessy; the King George; the Grand National - plus any other major race the bookmakers see fit to price up !
The point when I will assess each race, will vary, depending on opportunities.
Generally however, I will look to tackle each race at least a couple of weeks in advance of the off.
In terms of stakes, then I will use the same staking that I use for the main TVB service (for consistency).
Stakes will vary from 1/8th of a point to a full point, depending on perceived value and confidence.
The 'normal' stake will be 0.5pt win or 0.25pt EW.
So there you have it - a new TVB service !
As always, I would expect a roller-coaster of a ride - with hopefully one or two ups, to offset the inevitable glut of downs, that come with ante-post betting !
As always, all comments on the venture - and indeed future selections - are very welcome !
TVB.
