It was once said you could drop the Holy Grail of punting outside Rosehill races main gate and not many people would take a second look.

The main reason they fail in the mag is because 80% of what they print is crap the other 20% is hard to find.

I used to buy that mag years ago, bought it for about 10 years and in that time i think i found about 5 ideas that were worth following, a couple have now died because of the changes in races.

Back then there was not many good form guides and none were online, this was the days before windows i wrote a couple programs in Qbasic that used to find heaps of winners, if i didn't find at least 1 winner a day paying more than $20 i was surprised.

Some of my current ratings are based on ideas from 20 years ago but as i have found they don't perform as well as they used to because of the amount of information online.

I have no problem with people using anything for their personal enjoyment.
I strongly object to those selling FREE information for profit.
Totally immoral, it's not in the spirit it was offered.

Hi 4Legs,

Thanks for your kind words.

-----------------------------------
With those publications, one would think that they would list say 3 months results , not just say , 2 days like they often do.

With the advent of computers , one would think it easily done.

With that brilliant system checker of UB's , one could churn systems out like sausages, so I cant understand how those publications cant do the same .

I guess they cant be bothered, in that case why bother being in the print publication business.
They should sell up.
At least that would stop the fibs those guys tell.

Here's a Backing system that I just churned out using the brilliant UB system sausage machine.

RULES
TAB <= 4
Don Scott <=4
Field Size <= 10
Days Last Start <= 7

Result
27% SR
42% POT

This is 100% back fitted, because future results cant be got.
(No money was harmed during this experiment)

Now , If those publications did something similar , they may hold on to their regulars & maybe attract so new customers.

They need to do something ,so as to break the cycle of drivel they tend to find themselves churning out .
They could make an offer to some of the chaps on this site, for articles to be written at $100 a throw , then they would never be short of something interesting for each publication.

They're going bi-monthly so you might have to wait the extra 30 days to see this one up in lights Bhagwan .....

Very well said !!
