I subscribed to get Practical punting monthly for a year and got the triple crown system free.

Hope the system works out for you Deborah. I started buying PP in 1986. There is a lot of good handicapping info. in it, but I have never tried one of their systems.

Take care and tread lightly.

I subscribed to that mentioned mag for ten years all during the 90's. A mate and I bought several of their systems, silly boys we were, none of them ever worked.

Back then I used to keep a pile of Sportsman papers with the results inside each one. I backtraced one of their systems once that we bought, and found that the "50/1" winner that was produced in their usual pages of past performances of the system, was not actually a selection. As I recall the selections were advertised as available on friday via a "charged telephone call". The "50/1" winner only have come about through a scratching on the saturday morning and would not have been a selection on the friday.

I wrote and told them of this and naturally got the usual reply which said nothing.

Not sure if I was allowed to say all this on this forum. I do admit that some of their articles were a good read though.

oh I am doing huge one dollar bets 8-) :oops:

Hi Deborah,
I ran the Triple Crown through my data base at the time & it showed a substantial loss every year , over 4 years..

You would get a better result just betting the 2nd, 3rd & 4th Fav same amount on each in races with 1-9 runners SR 45%
Max price $25.00
Using Betfair prices .
Use Bet Trader Pro (free) so as to bet below the Betfair min .
1c bets if one wishes.

Try not to use TAB prices because they are nearly always lower & unlikely to show a profit, because they work on 118.5% overound as Betfair is 5-10%

Cheers.

A very smart move. A lot of punters could save themselves a fortune long term and have just as much fun by doing the same. There is a lot of intellectual stimulation and pleasure in racing and winning even a $1 bet supplies plenty.

I'd advise to keep records of bets [if your not doing so already], and when you can show a profit over a few months, you can bang your bet amount up to $2.

I joined sportsbet. deposited my $100 bank or whatever it is called and got a free $100 bet. (which you have to bet the entire amount on one bet)
So I came away with $210. So my bank is now $310. (wow that is alot of $1 or even $3 bets. :)

Will look into betfair. Thanks =)
