Goodwood – The Facts

At lunchtime today, I met one of Raceweb’s subscribers, the ever fragrant Ms C. She suggested that – given my tips – I must have lost zillions. Thus for curiosity’s sake, (and to wipe out this foul slur), I wanted to evaluate Raceweb’s actual P&L after 35 races. Let’s face it, Goodwood provides more fun than an evening with Trixie and Tom, The Contortionist Twins with The Interesting Tattoos. However, it is always nice to make a small return, or at the very least to avoid poverty.

The results below are therefore based on the outcome, if we bet a £1 to win on all SPs below 8/1, and £1 e/w on all selections at 17/2 and over.

Frankly, as the returns suggest at the end, it wasn’t the worst result for five days of fun, the number of bets placed and the lack of supporting technology. It was, however, a good lesson for the future.
