     Many of our readers just log in, get the selection and then don’t come back for the reasoning, which is perfectly fine, of course, but maybe like them, you’ll not have seen the discussions about odds & BOG etc.

     It’s increasingly difficult for any of us to get BOG the night before racing, so any drifters were costing us potential profit.
     8.00am now seems to be the time at which more BOG is available, so we’re currently trialling posting shortly after that point.

     It means the pick will be up before most people start work and at the end of the day, it’s only a trial. I did ask for people’s opinions, but of the thousands of registered subscribers, I got less than a handful of replies, suggesting either apathy towards the selection time or further proof that people aren’t coming back to read the piece.

     The trial might not be a success, but last week’s 7/1 winner would have been a 4/1 play. We need to give it a reasonable go before making a decision.

       Thanks for reply Chris, i missed this and i hate the new BOG changes. I now have to change how i bet i use put all bets on before i went to bed now i’m having find time before i go to work and this can be a bit of a pain BUT guess i need to adjust with the changes. (Last weeks 7/1 winner was in my tracker and i removed after he won at 25/1 the week or so before so glad you put up as i wouldn’t of backed it!)

         No problem at all. Personally, it makes my life easier to post the night before, but I can’t grumble about last years figures and the loss of BOG if I don’t at least try to do something about it.
         It might well end up going back to how it was and either taking a non-BOG price or Betfair SP and just swallowing our annoyance when a drifter wins.
