A big thank you to Thepearce. I joined Racecaller this afternoon, went for a fairly safe bet and it paid off - my horse won the 15.10 at Ayr!

Thanks again.

Well done - you're away with your first 10 piggy points from racecaller. I figured with cts few and far between this is a nice and easy way of some regular points for nowt (albeit not guaranteed).

Thepearce, I just joined up, got a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.

I can go to my profile fine etc, see what you are seeing but still can't see how many points I have?! Also, when you go to bet on a horse, how do you find out their previous stats. Thanks

Sure. You start the month (or are starting now) with 200 points. If you look at the picture I posted earlier the number of points (in my case 304) is shown in brackets next to my position in the league in the "My leagues" section. (The last circled section in my pic).

As for the horses stats....I don't think you can see them on this site. My own "tactics" are just to find a race with few horses and then go with the favourite, unless I recognise a jockey/trainer or like a name . It's only a bit of fun - I figure I'm not losing any money.

Unless you finish in the top 10 it doesn't matter how many points you have - the important thing is the number of wins. I figure therefore there's no benefit in chancing the outsiders.

Another thing to remember is that 200 points is only 10 bets at 20points a bet. If you aren't going for the top 10 you are better off betting the minimum (5 points).

Firstly you need to choose a race. On the left hand side you should see "Cards". Click the one with today's date on and you'll end up here : http://racecaller.com/getpage.php?meetingdate=2008-03-27

Then just click a race.

Once you've done that each horse has a pull down to choose how many points you want to bet.

I've gone with Exeter today.

I've done this but don't get the drop down, am I too late for today?

You can check the results section a while after the race has been run. You can also check your personal page (http://racecaller.com/mypage.php) to see how many racecaller points you have and, more importantly, how many wins you've had.

Where does it give you the amount of points you currently have? I can't find it anywhere

Me neither, I put a 5 pt bet earlier on a horse but where do I see the results and if I won??

You can only place bets up to 30 minutes before the race. It sounds like you are trying to place a bet on a race that's off in < 30 mins.

Wolverhampton looks like your only option for today as it has late races.
