I mean fuck me, thats really their job is it not?!
Some staggering runs, Nott Even Post with 22 losers in a row, another 3 with 21 losers in a row....
Looked at the latest nap, 4 of them napped a 1/4 shot which won, surprise surprise!, a handful more both napped winners which both went off at 13/8, and tehre was a 7/4, a 15/8 a 4/1 and a 5/1. Not exactly bank breaking winners.
As for other sports, you have PM!
Hi, Like Spacecat I too became a "Gamekeeper" after finding that being a "Poacher" was a dead loss.
In one shop I managed a regular punter was a Local and National Newspaper Racing Correspondent. One year he actually won the Sporting Life Naps competition.
The vast majority of his bets in the shop, were Place Only bets at
Tote odds. He couldn't pick a winner to save his life. So following tipsters and laying them certainly has a lot going for you.
