Nick Mordin: The Weekender – Systems

I wrote an article a while back titled: What Happened to Nick Mordin? It’s one of my best post [according to Google] and top ranked No 1 on the said search engine. The article only came into existence because I had a reader contact me asking if I could forward Nick Mordin’s contact details.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t be of help.

So where is Nick Mordin?

No one knows.

Nick Mordin has always been a respected horse racing journalist and author. In fact here are just a few books he has written over the years:

Betting for a Living, published by Aesculus Press Limited (1992)

A book where Mordin details how he won a £1000 a month from bookmakers just betting on week-ends and public holidays.

The Winning Look, published by Aesculus Press Limited (1994)

The sequel to Betting For A Living. Here Mordin explores with a bit of intelligent observation of horses in the paddock can help punters make a profit and form betting strategies.

Mordin On Time, published by Rowton Press (1996)

This is something of a collectors book with first editions going for £80. In this book Mordin attempts to answer the fundamental question of all punters: ‘Which horse is the fastest?’ He was taking sectional timings long before American books on speed ratings were published. This remains the only book in the world which allows readers to construct their own speed rating wherever they live.

Winning Without Thinking: A Guide to Horse Racing Betting Systems, published by Aesculus Press Limited (2002)

A book resulting from over 30,000 hours of researching race results over the years. This publication aims to uncover the principles that govern the betting market and racing results themselves. He shares the results of systems from himself, academics & professional gamblers. It’s a fascinating read.

Personally, I own Betting for a Living, The Winning Look & Mordin On Time. All excellent reads. I will be purchasing the other copy and writing a few articles about my findings.

Nick Mordin has always been respected for his search finding strategies and systems to make your betting pay. I’m sure many readers enjoyed the Sporting Life: The Weekender, which is released every Wednesday. As the blurb says: ‘It is designed to look at the best bets for British & Irish racing for the week ahead, with a particular focus on the biggest betting races of the weekend.’

I loved the good, old days when Nick Mordin’s Systems, often taking a double-page spread to get his valuable information across. In fact, it was one of my brother’s studies which put our research in the limelight when Mordin wrote: In a Class of their Own: How to Spot Top-Notch Two-year-olds.

It was published May 14th 1994.

I’m not sure how many years Mordin worked for The Weekender but he was very well received.

If you know where Nick Mordin resides these days we would love to hear more. I for one miss his knowledge and insight, especially those systems.
