When will it end?
Losing runs, don't you just hate them.
I'm sure we've all given up on a winning strategy or tipster because of a long losing run only to check back a few months later to see that the run ended, they always end, that losses were recovered and that we missed out on a lot of profits. I know I have!

Back in the 90's there was a succesful tipping service that had a very simple strategy for picking their selections.
I can't rememember the name of it, but maybe a reader will recall.
The strategy was simply to follow all the tipsters in the daily racing paper naps competition. Not sure if this was the Racing Post or the Sporting Life, which for any young uns was an actual broadsheet racing newspaper better than the Racing Post in my opinion.
Anyway the tipster kept track of the longest losing run for each newspaper tipster and when they matched their longest ever losing run he would start backing their selections.
The logic being that every losing run has to end and when it does there is usually a flurry of winners to bring the profit back to the long term trend.
Most people won't go near a tipster on a long losing run, but a few times over the years I've gone against the crowd and got on board with a tipster on a losing run and it's worked out well for me.
Anyway this came to mind because our sponsor this month is on a losing run of 13.
Last month Dan was the guest tipster for Platinum members and made a very nice profit, but some of that has been loaned back to the bookies on Betfair by members who sigend up for January.
If I wasn't already betting these selections everyday I would get on board now ready for the expected winning run, as it is I'm going to up my stakes.
If you want to join Dan's Shorties there is a link in the PS I expect most readers will wait and see what happens. I'll update you next month.
All the best
