Dumb and Dumber!!

[Searay]

Why is it!! Spent 4 hours doing form for tonites 2 meetings at Syd. , Melb.

I Have recently come with a new system that is a little like sportz's one with tastab and uni, penalties applying for different aspects. Anyhow i rated them as below:

Syd R1; 1,5 - NO BET SMALL FIELD, Result with no bet
Syd r2; 1,2 - No bet small field, result
Syd r3 1,2 - Small loss as no confidence
Syd r4 4,5,2- chose somethihg else
Syd r5 7,9 - as above
Syd r6 4, 10- as above
Syd r7 7,1 - as above


Melb r1 2,1,3- chose something else
Melb r2 5, 1, 4- chose something else
Melb r3 1,4,2 - chose something else
Melb r4 5,1,7- ok
Melb r5 2,4,6, chose something else
Melb r6 4,2,5 ok
Melb r7 9, 10 3- chose something else

AS you can see i rated 6 winners in Melb, backed none and the last one was enough for me to destroy the mobile phone as it paid $14 AND HAD IT RATED 5 BETTER than anything else. SYDNEY- RATED 4 WINNERS and backed none as well!!! Anyone got an explanation for me?

[blocka]

what were you reasons for choosing something else?

[Sportz]

Yeah, that's what I was gunna say, but I'm no better. I sometimes end up going against my own ratings and systems with similarly awful results.

[captain charger]

searay,maybe a couple of reasons or all of them
1:Undisciplined
2:Not 100% confident in your ratings
3:If you can rate them so well and switch you have a pumpkin for a head.(No offence meant,as Ken Howard used to say,"Off goes my head and on goes a pumpkin")
4:Easily swayed if something for some unknown reason seems better after you've done the hard work and yet it still does not qualify.
5: Mixing punting with imbibing in the demon drink.This happens quite frequently where discipline is lacking.
Good luck.

[Searay]

Thanx for input guys, lack of discipline comes first with no patience, which i will have to curb!

Oh sportz, can utell me what the asterix is next to the tastab ratings on a particular horse?

REMEMBER - Think first before saying nothing.

[Sportz]

It means the gear that the horse races with.

I think * means the horse wore blinkers. There's a menu or something on the website somewhere that tells you, but do you think I can find it??? One of the other users of those ratings mentioned on here how to find it. I've done a search for that post, but again, do you think I can find that either??? :(

It`s imperative that one drinks librally when Puntin , it numbs the pain.

Make sure that Pumpkin we all keep in the bottom draw is kept nicely polished so we can "oh so comfortably" place it on our shoulders & then go to Town of Rack & Ruin when things are going Pear shaped.

Now ,if anyone feels that these ideas are pretty silly, then why do people repeat this behaviour time & time again..?

Cheers.
