You mean 2/38 (17 from sat)

Another 17 and you'll go broke. Should have bought some 'real' investments.

G'day Equine Investor, you mentioned that you'll be following up on some of the unlucky runners from your 17 non-winners Saturday. Which ones do you think were unlucky not to salute? Based on steward's reports? Videos? A dip in the all-ordinaries index? Bad karma? :grin:
Come on E.I., join the funsters and have some fun!
Good on you for persevering. I'm impressed!

1.Nobody here has a problem with rational argument done in a constructive manner - comments like "are you sharing the same brain", "you have the IQ of an Ant" are not constructive criticism - they are abusive (PS. Quapi - I would have thought that this would have qualified as unpleastness at least!)

At present we don't publicly announce who is restricted. Eg some scamsters come onto the forum and their first posting is a link to their website promising millions of dollars etc. Those persons are permanantly restricted.

Depending on the severity of the breach posters are initially told of their breach. Should it persist, varying restrictions are applied from a week to permanent.

The comments you mention are a clear breach of Forum Terms of Use and not welcome from anyone posting on this Forum.

Tips for Wednesday

MV R6 7 Le Thief

Belmont R1 5 True Roman
Belmont R2 1 Stormalive
Belmont R3 1 Orion Star
Belmont R4 5 How Novel
Belmont R6 2 Passa Pago
Belmont R8 4 Cargo

Well, my selections were decimated by scratchings.
There were only three runners left.
True Roman and Passa Pago both ran second.
How Novel was unplaced.

2/41
4.87% Win Rate
$10.70 Average Price
Profit/Loss -$19.60 @$1 Win Level Stakes.

If it pays 20/1 it'll be worth it.

Quote from post on MARKET FIRMERS/DRIFTERS

"81% of all winners had a pre-race price above $4 and below $20"

If you're waiting for $20+ winners - long time b/t drinks.

I hope you back a winner soon, cause its getting painful to watch your strike rate getting decimated.

I hope you're paper trialing this method.

The profit lies in the other 19% of winners, not the 81%. Anything under say 10/1 is just replenishing the bank.

Anyone who bags someone because they have two or three or even ten losing days is saying one thing loud and clear. They know NOTHING about successful or even break even punting.

Runs of outs are inevitable with any selection method or ratings system. The uneducated or mug punter will dismiss a method when a poor run occurs and blame everyone else but himself for not having the discipline, patience and faith to know that over the long term, things even out and every bad run comes to an end, if the ratings are reliable.

My recent run of outs wiped almost 50% off my bank. I didn't panic and give up, blaming my selection method and now after just 2 months I'm back near my record high.

EI doesn't have to post his selections here (I'm certainly more guarded and selfish and make no apologies for it) but his contributions, along with others on this forum provide a wealth of information. AND IT'S FREE!!! So to GP, Trend and others, take off the blinkers, please, or go find somewhere else to play.

Cheers

trend, a number of your postings have been deleted as taunting is unpleasant and a breach of Terms of Use.

15% of winners are below $4.
That leaves 4% above $20.
Good luck finding them every week.

What do you have a problem with Quapi?

People making some challenging statements or are you just sticking up for your OZmium collegue EI? Can't he defend himself with wit and intelligent comments, without you deleting anything that's not politically correct?

Now, there's nothing in that, which is unpleasant - unless you find criticism of any kind - unpleasant?

Me wonders, whether you know as much about punting as you make out - you reckon I don't know much. Well I would admit if I was struggling on the punt, rather than making excuses and saying - I'll win in the long term, cause I'm investing for the long haul.

Aiming for 4% of winners is not a winning strategy - bread and butter should be the $4-12 winners, the $20+ winners are icing on the cake.

I would not be suprised if this is deleted as well - if it is, it shows you have no credibility.

Anyone who is any good at anything, can handle constructive criticism, unless of course they are insecure about their own knowledge.

That's the point trend, you don't have to find them every week. There are daily punters and longterm punters.



Let it be known, I have no connection to Ozmium or Quapi whatsoever, however, I do contribute to these forums on a daily basis. The community is fantastic and Quapi is trying to keep it a place to learn and intelligently discuss various aspects of horseracing.



Trend, I never said you didn't know much about the punt. However, when someone criticises my selections without knowing the investment plan behind it, surely I am entitled to defend myself.
Investing for the longterm is not an excuse -it was an explanation of my objective.



The 10/1+ winners are where the profits lay.

"80% of my profit comes from 20% of my winners"
Pareto.



I am not out to prove anything, it's all about sharing ideas and learning something new off other members. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcome, and I try and share some of my knowledge with others.

1. There is absolutely no association whatsoever between EI (Equine Investor) and OZmium.

2. You have rejected the Forum Terms of Use:

"Can't he defend himself with wit and intelligent comments, without you deleting anything that's not politically correct?"

You will now need to find a Forum where your style of posting and the Terms of Use are compatible. They are not on this Forum.

3. We are not deleting your posting. It remains as an example to all of what is not acceptable on this Forum.
