This is going to sound really lame, but here me out. I am not suggesting this is a system that will return consistent profits over time or anythingand it really isnt even a system. But if used on the odd occasion i.e. once every week or two - you would be surprised. Its something me old man does when we go down for a frothy at the pub, and had been doing it for a year and he is showing a pretty hefty profit. Harness and dogs (he does it with horses but minimal success) he just backs all the long odds runners in the race, and leaves the top 3 or 4 (harness), 2 or 3 (dogs) in the betting alone. As a once in a while, fun thing to do he rarely loses ie. would only lose 1 in 5 times. The other thing is once you win thats it. I think it works because in dogs and harness unlike horses there are a lot more false favourites as well as faves which are way under the odds. Sometimes in harness for example, there will be like a 1.10 pop and the rest of the field is 12's or over and it continually surprises me how many times these shorties get beaten. I have never been game to try it, because logically it shouldnt work, but i can;t argue since 9 times out of 10 he walks out with a lot more dough than me.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Yes it doesnt matter if there is a spell in it. Just as long as its 'last start' was a win, could go 3s1s but it would still be a selection.

Yes this system is just for $2 wins to see what can eventuate but what has been pointed out is quite right.

But it did show me that a few winners were able to back up after a run of good results. That factor was important, but its not at all welcoming when it comes to the returns.

Ill have a different sort of selections for you tonight for tommorow's races as ive been testing a system and its doing quite well despite a lapse in results last night.

Anyways thanks for your advice : - )

Well City Lane finished 2nd and paid $1.60 today.

At Ballarat we have R6) #12 and thats it.

(now on something totally un-related to this system).

Ima gonna try my hand at:

Ballarat Race 3) #8* - 6- 7
Race 4) #6*
Race 5) #11* - 2 - 7- 4
Race 6) #(3,8)
Race 7) #11* - 6
Race 8) #5*

*=selection. With the other numbers as possibilities for multiples etc.

Why aren't Ballarat R3 #8; R7 #10; and R8 #8 selections?


I counted Moonee Valley R4 #3 as a selection today (lowest price of 3 qualifiers)also. It paid $8.50/$2.10. :) The other four at that venue missed.:mad:

Too shay, i did ineed miss Ballarat R3 #8 and R7 #10

Ahh now i see where you are coming from with Mooney Valley results wise and Ballarat R8 #8 results. I have actually been exluding those who have won twice in a row in my selections. Might have to see who they go.

But then $8.50 isn't too bad if the other four lost. Thats still a profit.

And already tonight:

Race 2) #2 paid $1.50, $1.10
Race 3) #8 paid $1,40, $1.10

So thats going down well.

Ill try including those who have won twice in a row and see what eventuates.


(Now for the other system)
Race 3) #8 paid $1.40, $1.10
Race 4) #6 unplaced
Race 5) #11 unplaced, 4th selection won at $15.50

and still some to go.

A nice trifecta for race 6 tonight at Ballarat. BOX 3,8,12

Almost, ill guess ill just have to wave my flag and be content with the $4.70 exacta. Just couldn't split those two in the ratings.

Now i am going to start including (1.1) results into the system now.

RACES: 95
WINS: 30
AVE WINNER: $4.30

Based on $1 bets:
Profit: $ 34.40 (so if you were betting $25 win a profit of $860 so far)

Its a gain of 27% thus far.

However almost 50% of the winnings come from 3 races alone, which Chromo Prince point out, is not good for the long term.

Tweaking is probably necessary but that might come in due time.

Today's races:

Charlton:
R3) #6
R4) #9
R6) #10
R7) #8

Harold Park
R1) #5
R2) #3
R3) #5
R4) #4
R8) #7

Kilmore:
R5) #7/12
R6) #6
R7) #6

A host of favourites today but some of them might go out to a little better odds.
