Hi, MrFugly.

It is a selection as it has 12 place points. If it had won its previous start or the one before that it would have been a non selection.

3) Unplaced last start and did not win or run second at previous start.

Have the rules changed?

I just checked the rules - you are right. I better remember that rule.

It is not a selection!!!

From yesterday's 4 qualifiers there were 4 smiles for a profit of 3.80 units.

There have now been 30 smiles from 34 qualifiers for a profit of 13.54 units.

Today's selections:

Lismore R5 no.6 - Invincible Power
W'bool R5 no.2 - Persian Star.

1 winner today
 

Perhaps anything that's odds on, give it a miss! (A bit of common sense never goes astray)

It makes good sense about eliminating odds-on qualifiers, but in the testing period there were a few odds-on horses that were beaten, so I'll keep them as qualifiers and see what happens.

Luckily, today's second selection qualified and was beaten which gave the method a small profit on the day.

Today's selections are:

Gold Coast R5 No.2 - Teary Eyed
Warrnambool R5 no.2 - Mookatme
Strathalbyn R5 no.3 - Laxaar.

Yesterday the three selections qualified and all were beaten for a profit of 2.85 units.

Today's selections:
Rocky R4 no.6 - Guilty onscience
Gosford R7 no.9 - Aulani
Pt Augusta R4 no.3 - Dandy Jester
Pt Augusta R5 no.4 - Riverscape
Pt Augusta R6 no.2 - Nesta
Pt Augusta R8 no.3 - Rippleson
Kempsey R6 no.1 - Tha'hab
Albany R3 no.4 - Burnzy.

So the ? is what to do when two of the lays are two of the "old system" bet qualifiers . ie Ar 6no 2 kempsey r6 no 1 .

Maybe toss a coin?

Seriously, if they qualify (max Lay price of $11) I will be laying them because I don't know if either the original or Try's rules for either Bet methods has ever selected a horse that is also selected under the Lay rules...sorry, Try.
