Beginner’s Guide:(UK & Ireland) + Full Betting System

This guide is written 100% for complete beginners – simple, step-by-step, no complicated jargon.

1. The golden rule: Bankroll management

Start with a bankroll of £100
That’s your betting pot. You never deposit more until you grow this £100.

2. My staking system – “The 5-10-15-20-25 Ladder”

We use a very gentle and safe progression system:

  • Bet 1 → £5

  • Win → next bet £10

  • Win → next bet £15

  • Win → next bet £20

  • Win → next bet £25

When you win all 5 bets in a row (full cycle completed) → go back to £5 and start a new cycle.

If you lose any single bet in the sequence → also go straight back to £5 and start again.

Why this works:
When you hit 5 winners in a row (which happens very regularly with my tips), one cycle turns into serious profit.

Example (average odds I give are around 3.50–4.50):£5 × 4.00 = +£15
£10 × 3.80 = +£28
£15 × 4.20 = +£48
£20 × 3.50 = +£50
£25 × 4.00 = +£75


Total returned in the cycle: £216 → pure profit ≈ £141 (after staking £75)

If you lose on the 3rd step (£15 bet), you only lose £5 + £10 + £15 = £30 and start again. Super safe.

 

3. How to increase stakes when your bankroll grows

Always keep the same percentages of your current bankroll.

Right now:

  • First bet of the cycle = 5% of bankroll (£5 at £100 bank)

  • Last bet of the cycle = 25% of bankroll (£25 at £100 bank)

When you reach £300 bankroll → everything ×3
→ £15 → £30 → £45 → £60 → £75When you reach £500 bankroll:
→ £25 → £50 → £75 → £100 → £125

Rule: always 5%-10%-15%-20%-25% of your current bankroll.

 

4. What kind of bets do I place?

Mainly two types:

A) Singles – the safest
B) Multiples/Accas – maximum 2–3 horses on one bet (this is where the big money is made)

I NEVER put more than 3 horses on one ticket!


The more horses you add, the bigger the odds, but the chances drop off a cliff. 4-5-6 fold accas are pure gambling, not tipping.

 

5. Safer option – Play “Top Finish” (Place) markets

If you’re scared of “win only”, you can play exactly the same multiples but as:

  • Each-Way accas (usually 1/4 or 1/5 the odds for places)

  • Or “Top 2 Finish” / “Top 3 Finish” markets (some bookies offer this)

The odds will be lower (e.g. 4.00 win becomes ~1.80–2.00 for a place), but your chance of cashing out is much higher. Perfect for beginners and for building the bankroll without stress.

 

6. Best bookmakers for UK & Irish racing

  • Bet365 – best live streams + BOG (Best Odds Guaranteed)

  • William Hill – great each-way promotions

  • Betfair Exchange – if you want to trade live

  • Skybet, Paddy Power, Betvictor – often pay extra places (5-6 places instead of 4)

 

7. Rules I never break

  1. Only UK & Ireland racing (best form, most info)

  2. Never chase losses – one loser = next bet £5 and relax

  3. Never bet every race  – max 2-4 selections per day

  4. If there’s no value – I send nothing (sometimes a day off)

 

Summary for a complete beginner

  1. Deposit £100

  2. Wait for my daily tips (1–4 horses per day)

  3. First bet always £5

  4. Win → £10 → £15 → £20 → £25

  5. Lose or complete the cycle → back to £5

  6. Never break the staking plan and never add your own horses

 

Stick to this for 2–3 months and your £100 can easily become £500–£800
