We have three major websites at present. High Class Equine is the leader of the pack, while Horse Trainer Directory is becoming more established and a great resource for those wishing to locate horse trainer websites, blogs & twitter links on a simple format. The page views are quite healthy although I must admit I do wonder how to increase readership. It is an ideal website for people to bookmark because it has just about every trainer website available. We have received a number of testimonials from leading trainers.
The newest website is Gambler's Psychology Kit which details fascinating articles using psychology research with a gambling twist. The first day saw page views in the mid hundreds but as we only update every Monday the number slowly fall back as the week progresses. I have updated a new article today: Expert Vs Novice: Place Your Bets Now. This is part of a series of article relating to this subject matter which bring insight to what it takes to make a professional.
Working on the websites can be a lonely pursuit in ways and I often struggle to find the best path to take with these formats. I often wonder where they will lead. I know next season I will not be giving any tips by text or email and simply write my blog posts and people can either use that information or not. I have once again struggled to detail tips when forwarding them to subscribers simply because the way I bet, which in many ways is based on statistics, it is an ever changing scene. One moment a horse will be forwarded and the next it shouldn't. I feel this is the reason so many tipsters struggle because there are so many variable which change with time. It is disappointing. It simply isn't something I feel comfortable with any more.
