I am a long standing member of Lachlan’s Blackbook service. As a mug punter with 30 yrs experience I understand that backing short priced favourites is a shortcut to the poorhouse, and those tips are freely available from radio and tv tipsters. I believe a paid service should provide well priced selections that aren’t mainstream media tips. This is exactly what Lachlan provides together with a short explanation of why we are backing each horse. I also like the volume of bets provided by Blackbook, I have subscribed to other successful services, where I was uncomfortable with the required outlay to back every selection. Lachlan provides well balanced service that is easy to follow with the suggested bank. A run of outs is easily overcome when big priced winners regularly roll in! To be a successful punter I believe absolutely that the key is to find value runners that are missed by the mainstream press, and this is what Lachlan has been able to achieve for his subscribers.
