I’m back from my holiday but I have sad news to share with you.
While I was away I had a message from Carl Nicholson’s wife Nicola to tell me that Carl had passed away after a short illness.

Carl was the first tipster we worked with back in the Betting School days and we launched his Value Backing service in 2012.
Carl was an inspired tipster who had a feel for the big priced value bet and one of my best punting days came in that same year when he tipped Solemia for the l’Arc de Triomphe.
I watched that race with my dad with a 66/1 ticket in my hand.
The news of Carl’s passing came as a big shock and it’s hard to come to terms with.
I don’t really know what else to say except rest in peace Carl Nicholson 18/11/1968 – 19/6/2026

We got Shady Bay placed yesterday. BSP on the place was 2.42, I managed to get 3.0 for a point profit on the race. Here's a thought about systems betting. Systems succeed because they find value bets. If you've got a system that makes a long term profit it will probably be because of some…
