		<title>Slipperytoad’s Handicapping Library</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was asked via email to post my top ten list of gambling related books.
It was a tough ask given my self confessed addiction when it comes to horse racing literature; therefore I have quite a few books on the subject.
Listed below are the books that have had the most influence on my approach to [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Feel the Need For Speed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Among serious handicappers there are two major schools of philosophy. In one intellectual camp are the empiricists, who view every race as a unique problem to be solved by intuition and analysis. They evaluate horses’ records by weighing many factors and subtleties, and reject the notion that a horses’ ability can be measured in any [...]]]></description>

		<title>Southwell Racecourse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When deciding to specialise in All Weather Racing, I set myself the objective of visiting Lingfield, Wolverhampton, Kempton and Southwell. That objective is now completed

I won’t bother with a review of the course given that a perfectly adequate report is available on the ORS Racing Web site. However, once I eyeballed the course layout I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Most People Don’t Understand Winning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As many as one in ten people have turned to gambling to try to survive the recession, according to the charity Credit Action. Adrian Scarfe from gambling counselling service GamCare said more people are coming to them after trying to get out of the recession through gambling.
This is a worrying trend and predictable given the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wisdom of Crowds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As normal my dog Muttley woke me up early for his morning constitutional and food. Border Terriers are a stomach on legs so can be persistent in the pursuit of a tasty morsel even at 6:30 am Sunday morning.
Instead of firing up my Nokia E72 to check out price movements on Betfair, with only one [...]]]></description>

		<title>They Knew!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After handicapping the race yesterday evening, upon reviewing the early prices this morning I was concerned that Corals were biggest price on one of my selections Rapid City in the 2:10 at Lingfield. Fortunately per my “two horses against the field” approach, I included the winner Jeer in my final selection(s)..
Take a look at Rapid’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Southwell 5 furlong Bias</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Tipped up Lujiana in the 1.20 at Southwell Sunday to the amazement of the punters in Corals Bath (I did make quite a bit of noise when he crossed the line at 25/1)
How? A simple matter of the draw bias. Unlike the bias over 5 furlongs at Beverly which is well publicised, the equivalent bias [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Decimalisation of Racing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Proposals to modernise British horse racing&#8217;s image, including an end to traditional odds, have been unveiled.
This change makes no difference to me per my example tissue below.

In fact it will make it easier to bang in the pre race odds into my PDA without having to find the “/” character on the mini-keyboard for each entry.
At the [...]]]></description>
