Percentum's Tips Saturday 18 January 2003

[Percentum]

I won't be in a position to put these up on Saturday so what you get here are my ratings pre scratchings. Horses are given in rated order and the rule of thumb regarding field size is: 12 or less starters no bet: 13 - 14 starters back the top 2; 15 + starters back the top 3. Additional selections are given in case of scratchings.

Sydney

R6 1, 2 and 13
R8 7, 3, 12, 11, 2

Melbourne

R7 13 and 11

Adelaide

R2 6 and 9
R8 3, 6, 1, 15, 18, 12

Brisbane

R1 8, 1, 7, 3

R2 9, 1, 12

R5 7, 1, 4, 2, 16, 18

R8 1, 11, 9, 12, 13, 16, 10

Perth

R7 7 and 9

R8 1 and 5

Good luck!

[Paddy]

Well best of luck for the weekend Percentum.
See that both Perth races are already a no-bet situation. Race 7 already down to 12 starters & race 8 already down to 11. :eek:

My psychic powers are not what they once were Paddy. Oops! Now you know my secret!

My psychic powers are not what they once were Paddy. Oops! Now you know my secret!

My goodness, we have a ridge didge psychic amongst us :grin:

A lonely frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline and asked what his future holds.

His personal psychic advisor tells him: "You are going to meet beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you."


The frog is delighted with this news,

"This is great! Will I meet her at a party?" he croaks.



"No," says the psychic, "in biology class."

:grin:

I have a psychic girlfriend. We don't go out. We just sit around at home and she tells me how the evening went.

:grin:

A woman goes to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother.

After paying her a scandalous amount of money, the psychic's eyelids begin fluttering, her voice begins warbling, her hands float up above the table and she begins moaning.

Eventually, a coherent voice emanates, saying, "Grandaughter? Are you there?"

The customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat responds. "Grandmother? Is that you?"

"Yes grandaughter, it's me," is the response.

"It's really, really you grandmother?" the woman repeats.

"Yes, it's really me grandaughter."

The woman looks puzzled. "You're SURE it's you grandmother?"

"Yes, grandaughter - I'm sure it's me."

The woman pauses a moment. "Grandmother, I have just one question for you."

"Anything, my child," comes the response.

The woman pauses another moment before asking,

"Grandmother -- when did you learn to speak English?"

:grin:

Help Wanted: Psychic. You know where to apply.

:lol:

[Percentum]

Waiting for applause. None forthcoming.

[Percentum]

Thanks Paddy
Top 3 also landed a $686 trifecta in Sydney R8 in rated order of 2nd/1st/3rd. Anyway have taken my medication and calmed down. Let me know if you would like to interchange ideas via email. My stuff is based on fair dinkum research of over 7000 races and I know from following it myself that it is successful (18% on turnover in 2000 bettable races). Address is gschymkiw@ozemail.com.au

[Neil]

Well done Percentum.

[Merriguy]

Congrats, Percentum. Quite a weekend --- and you weren't even around to bet on Saturday :grin:

Talking about psychics, did you hear about the psychiatrist who woke up one morning to find himself under his bed?

He decided he must be a little potty :lol:

[Percentum]

Actually I did back them for the win Merriguy but wasn't organised enough to put on the trifecta. Darn! Darn! Darn! Ain't it always the way? Wha'd the tri in R1 Brisbane pay elsewhere? It paid $18 000 in NSW.

[Merriguy]

Yes, that BR1 Tri would have been nice to have had a dollar or two on --- though, if it cheers you any, the second place getter was not one of your tips :cry:

Must say I like your approach of a small positive percentage being the way to make a dollar --- the meaning of 'Percentum' I guess.
