DAQMAN’s LIBRARY

WELCOME to the Daqman Library, which updates results and also preserves the history of Daqman’s tipping from 2007.

DAQMAN MANIFESTO
See Archive for 16, 17 and 29 APRIL 2013

RACING QUALITY The betting day will be described as standard, above average or a jackpot day, depending on the quality of the racing.

STAKING PLAN On standard days, bets will be staked to win 20 points at the time of making the selection so that you know the BETDAQ offers taken by Daqman (divide 20 by the stake).

TARGETS On above average and jackpot days, the stakes will be increased to win 30, 40 points, maybe more.

The daily target will be given below the bets. At the same time, there will be a target for success that day.

NAPS AND JACKPOTS The same target will apply to the naps (so generally win-20) but stakes will be raised accordingly on the better quality days.

Jackpot stakes may also be applied to big races or where there is thought to be big value in the offers. See also Jackpot Gold (below)

BANKER NAPS Stakes will be raised to 20 points maximum for banker naps, which are expected to total only 20 or 30 a year.

BANKER LAYS Daqman will oppose the favourite in Gold Value bets (see below) but will declare lays only at short prices, with a target strike rate of 72%. These will be banker lays.

VALUE RACES Daqman will spot the races where the total percentage probability is below 110% in the BETDAQ orange.

GOLD VALUE Gold-value races will be races where the total probability is low but additionally:

The stats suggest that some in the field have little or no expectations. Conditions of the race, the draw or the going also count against some of the runners; others may be overrated. Or there is a false favourite.

JACKPOT GOLD If a jackpot bet also falls in to this ‘gold’ value category, the stakes may be increased still further.

EIGHT WINNING JULY JACKPOTS IN 2010In July 2009, Daqman’s 22-day winning sequence topped 217 points. In August 2009, it was 216 points. But the one winning run to beat them all was in July 2010, when he landed eight jackpot bets, which you will see from the staking plan in this library means horses backed to win at least 30 points. Here is that fabulous July betting month, revealing the jackpots as they happened.

July 4: LAYS DOUBLE UP Daqman lays into two paper favourites, Next Edition (2nd 3-1) and Denton Ryal (unplaced 7-2), and starts a long sequence of winning value bets with Avanos (won 9-4 from 11-2).

July 5: IT’S A 12-1 BETDAQ  WINNER His tip, Emiratesdotcom (won 6-1), is 12-1 in morning exchanges on Betdaq.

July 7: FIRST JULY JACKPOT IS 25-1 ON BETDAQ Fireback (won 12-1) is the first of his winning July jackpot bets, nominated when 26.4 on Betdaq.

July 8: NOW A 10-1 WINNER Another big odds winner, Libranno (won 10-1)

July 9: IT’S A 9-1 JACKPOT WINNER The second July jackpot winner, Times Up (won 9-1)

July 10: FOUR LAYS IN A ROW Daqman keeps the profits pouring in with his fourth consecutive winning lay

July 12: HE CAN’T LOSE AT 11-2 Daqman lays Hidden Fire at 7-4 and backs it to win at 11-2. His picks also include Rockweiller (2nd 16-1)

July 13: TWO BANKERS OUT OF TWO Daqman’s second banker of the month scores on a day of three winners.

July 14: GRAND PRIX WINNER AT 8.8 He names the winner of the Grand Prix De Paris, Behkabad (won 8.8-1)

July 15: SAME DAY 16-1 AND 15-2 Veil of Night (won 16-1) and Mizen Raven (won 15-2) continue the big-value winners

July 16: HAWK-EYE DAQMAN The pundits are all raving Hawkeyethenoo but Daqman lays it and its unplaced at 7-2. He backs Sonny Parkin 3rd 12-1.

July 17: HAT-TRICK OF LAYS Daqman lands a lays treble with Flambeau (2nd 4-1), Reel Buddy Star (2nd 13-2) and Easy Target (unplaced 8-1). He tips Dever Dream (won 11-2) and Move In Time (3rd 22-1)

July 19: THREE IN A ROW Daqman names three consecutive winners, Watch Chain (won 13-2), Urban Space (won 9-2) and Poppy Seed (won 5-2)

July 23: LAYS TREBLE UP Daqman makes it 12 lays up out of 13 with three on the same day, Florestans Match (2nd 9-4), Alsace Lorraine (3rd 6-4) and Jordaura (3rd 7-2)

July 24: 13 LAYS OUT OF 14 He’s sailing close to the wind as yet another win lay is placed, Ocean Bay (3rd 13-8), giving him 13 out of the last 14.

July 25: DOUBLE-YOUR-MONEY JACKPOT More Betdaq jackpot value, Masamah almost double the SP at 13.5 on Betdaq (won 13-2)

July 26: HE’S ON GLENRIDDING GAMBLE It’s getting to be every day, this Betdaq value: on the 26th, it was Glenridding (won 7-2 from 7.00)

July 27: IT’S 100% FOR PLACE LAYS Jo’burg (unplaced 16-1) is Daqman’s sixth consecutive successful place lay. Changing Of The Guard (2nd 16-1) is a near-miss jackpot bet.

July 28: FIRST GOODWOOD JACKPOT WINNER Canford Cliffs is an easy banker, and Ghimaar (won 6-1), a first jackpot win in Goodwood week.

July 29: TWO JACKPOT WINNERS IN ONE DAY Beachfire (won 9-1) is 11.0 when Daqman goes for another Goodwood jackpot at Betdaq morning offers. Overturn (won 6-1) wins at Galway, with Slievardagh (4th 9-1 from 18.0) an each-way gamble in the same race.

July 30: A JACKPOT, A LAY AND A BIG OUTSIDER It was all there on the Friday of Goodwood, a winning lay on Duncan (unplaced 5-4), a jackpot win with Sea Lord (won 6-1) and a big place return from Wildcat Wizard (3rd 25-1), a 35.0 trade in the morning.

July 31: YES, IT’S ANOTHER JACKPOT COUP AT 20-1 Another 35.0 Betdaq morning trade, Evens And Odds (won 20-1), is one of Daqman’s Stewards’ Cup bets.

THE LANGUAGE OF DAQMAN

Blinkers & visor, noseband, cheekpieces (headgear): Aids to help a horse concentrate.

Bridesmaid: Often on the premises without taking the bouquet or the cigar (i.e. often placed without winning)

Bridle horse: Cruises before coming under pressure, then finds little extra speed or stamina.

Buying money: Taking odds-on offers about a horse.

Dark ‘un: A dark horse; his form is not transparent; he doesn’t have the obvious form to win.

Dog on a raft: Offers about a horse are drifting all the time.

Edge: Statistics, circumstances or information that appear to give the backer an advantage.

Glass horse: A horse with problems that is hard to keep sound and runs rarely.

Hold-up horse: A horse that waits off the pace.

Hungry mouse: Shrewd computer punter quick to respond to ‘value’ offers or waiting to pounce on a lay in running.

Hype/hyped horse: The Press has gone overboard and the horse is a shorter price than it should be. See ‘overbet.’

Improver: Young horse on the upgrade which is rated below some others but could improve quickly past them, or will do so as he progresses and the older horses’ abilities fade.

Matched: Offers exchanged on Betdaq.

The Moral: The horse that deserves most credit for a race; for example, it was beaten narrowly, despite giving weight to the winner.

Nap & Banker: Best of the day: see Betting Plan.

Nugget: A piece of ‘golden information.’ A horse ‘for gold’ that day.

Offers: Prices available on Betdaq.

Official ratings: An ability figure which translates to the weight a horse would carry in handicaps.

Base rating: A ratings assessment based solely on past results.

Future ratings: A revised assessment where other factors are added to the base rating: plus or minus for the going, distance and stats.

Overbet: Because the stable is in form, or a top jockey rides, or because the horse has been hyped, the animal is a shorter price than it should be.

Overs: a) If you had a bet at a much bigger price than the horse is now, the difference between the two prices is the ‘overs’.

Pace horse: Also called ‘front-runner’ and ‘van runner’ (i.e. close-up runner). Example: ‘Joe’s Boy was in the van all the way’ or ‘Fame And Glory made all’ (important in back-and-lay betting)

Play Up: Use your winnings for further bets.

Plunge bet: Risking more than the selection really deserves.

Points: Fictitious stake on a race, where a point can mean any unit of stake, whether a pound, £10 or £100.

Take-out: Deduction for ‘operating costs’ (example, by the Tote).

The one to take out of the race: A horse to follow.

Taking a Position: The first bet on a race, which will determine further bets to improve, or cover, the position you’ve put yourself in.

Tongue-tie: A breathing aid; stops a horse swallowing his tongue.

Positive/negative vibes: Gets a good/bad word from the training centre and/or is strong in the market (‘money talks’)

Pricing up: Assessing the percentage probability of each horse and, therefore, assigning it a price, so that you can compare its real chance with offers on Betdaq.

Queuing up: Offers awaiting a match on Betdaq.

Quirky: A horse with mental problems that misbehaves or doesn’t always ‘put it in’ (do his best).

Rear runner: A horse that races from well off the pace. A backmarker.

Raving Post: A reference to the Racing Post when its headlines are considered ‘over the top.’ See Hype.

Schooled well: Has jumped hurdles or fences well in prep work at home.

Schooled intensively: Special attention paid to jumping problems at home.

Shape of the race: The quality of a race, how a race might be run; whether it’s tricky or contains many runners with very little chance.

Stand-out: The best horse in the race, particularly when a value price: such a ‘stand-out’ is equivalent to a ‘jackpot banker.’

Stats: Records about a race. Could include course records, stable form and other facts and factors.

Stone bonker: Good thing. A certainty.

System: Method for betting, usually fallacious. Parodied in the expression ‘system doing well; send more money’ (the reference is to a systems punter sending a telegram).

Unbackable: A horse that’s a very short price and not worth the risk. Not even for ‘buying money.’

Value: A horse is a better price than it should be, given the situation it’s in.

W6times: Waited with, will win when wanted.

Winner by default: When other horses failed to perform to their best. Also used when selecting a horse, where the rest of the field is unsuited by the distance or conditions.

Worth a pound: A bet to small stakes at a big price ‘just in case.’

Wrong price: A horse that’s seen in pricing up to be bigger odds than it should be (but not when a drifter).
