Hi guys,
I will be posting for the last time tomorrow due to lack of views and interest.

Hi TT, I know I haven't posted on your threads before, but I have always looked in with interest and have backed a number of your picks from time to time.
I know you've been posting for quite a while, but I'd suspect now more than ever that the general forum population will be looking more closely at your work.
A suggestion would be: Do not create a new thread every day. Have one thread called 'South African Racing' and each day post the picks for that meeting in the thread. That way your thread can grow over time, which in turn will encourage more views and then more participation.
Either way, overall I'd encourage you to keep posting.

I'd second that - very few pay attention to my posts but I don't let it discourage me!!

It's hard to get involved in a discussion when we have no way of gauging the form on which to base a discussion.
If I put a thread in Other Sports about, say, West of Scotland junior football, I don't imagine I'd get many people eager to debate. If, on the other hand, I correctly predicted a majority of results, I might not get many joining the debate but I imagine plenty would be scouring the betting sites for prices.
Think of what you're doing as being skilled at keepy-uppy to the point of attracting viewers. They won't try and join in but they'll watch and admire. Lose control and they'll walk away.

This is correct. None of us know anything about the races, tracks, trainers, jockeys. My only comments were on the races themselves and that was because of the thread. I did start a thread saying we should all pay more attention to your threads with no UK racing last week.
Anyway I believe the racing is going into lockdown over there anyway.
I’ve been following your threads daily TT and while I’ve only posted on a couple of them I’ve been backing some, though admittedly not all but I rarely bet 7 days a week, but win or lose I’ve enjoyed watching the race live and if not then at least checking their results.
I’d also echo DH’s suggestion with regards a single thread appended to each day, with perhaps - if it’s not too much trouble - a running P&L
Anyhow, you must do what you feel necessary but I hope you continue.

Though I've never really acknowledged as much, I see your contributions as a valuable addition to the forum and I do hope you'll continue to give them, possibly in the manner others have suggested?
Thanks guys for your feedback.
I will continue with my post but it looks like unfortunately racing will come to a end for south africa as they are in total lockdown. Thursday will be the last day for racing
cheers

I agree with the others, I don't know anything about the racing over there but have been reading your tips and backed a couple. I think you would be better doing one thread and posting in it daily rather than a new one every day. Firstly to keep it in the same place, and secondly, when google picks it up people will be getting sent to old threads, whereas if its all in one, then anyone searching for that type of tip will be directed the one thread and you will likely see the views increase
I have watched more South African racing since you started your thread than I have in a life time. Mainly to see how your getting on. Usually I rarely follow flat racing. Keep going but as was suggested do a South African racing thread and keep everything on one thread. I keep finding myself reading the wrong thread for that days racing. Good luck!
