honkin, it probably won't make a lot of difference as long as you stick to the one source of pre-post market, but there will be different selections in some cases.

Today using my rules and WA TAB-FORM (available free on line) contenders are/were

AR 1-1, 3-2, 6-8, and SR 2-1, 6-4

2 wins , 5 placed!!

hey partypooper

Just checking your results with S-Tab and the return is $6.44 for $5 outlayed, which is quite decent, so $1.28 for each $ invested or 28% return.

The only thing that got me was the elimination of some candidates due to not being pre-post favourite. I had 3 possibles in Sydney, but S-Tab had SR 1-1, SR2-1 and SR 4-2 as 100 raters, but only Turf Express was clear fave. The other 2 were second favourites by maybe 30c or so and I left them out.

Perhaps that is an area where I could test it with a smidge of leniency and allow second fave to also be included. I guess over in the west, some that were second fave here were listed as fave.

I have no issues picking a few winners each week, with 4 in Melbourne on Saturday - races 3, 4, 5 +6. We have a small punters club at a pub here (maybe 30 to 50 people) and it is $10 in each: 3 pts for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 3 for 3rd - winner takes all. Won it on the weekend again.

I kind of like your concept of betting place only on 100 rating faves as a decent method to generate some extra return though.

Do you bet through the TAB system, or do you find other suppliers offer better odds?

cheers and thanks for sharing some info

honkin

just one last thing, partypooper

I just checked the form guide from Saturday and the 3 I mentioned in Sydney were all listed as faves there. It was just checking the market on race day morning had only 1 of the 3 as fave, so I left the other 2 out.

Do you work from your local rag pre-post price or from the TAB or other website?

cheers again

honkin

Honkin, whats with the strange questions.
Party already clearly stated that he uses the WA pre post market online from his local rag.

The TAB is a live market, newpaper price is pre post market.
You do know the difference dont you.
He uses the UniTAB wt rating pts of 100pts only, for his selection.
Dont take any notice of the live market price shown there.


Another online source for pre post market is Racingandsports

There are only 3 simple rules & people still manage to balls them up... Strange

For those who didnt read the rules , here they are yet again.
(1) 100 rating (unitab)
(2) last start winner within 21 days.
(3) Pre-post fav (WA TAB-Form (available free on -line) may work with other publications but dont know.


Simple.

Yeah, as I said I don't think it would make a lot of difference *over time* whatever source of pre-post market you use as long as you use the same source all the time. Also probably the live market, say maybe bet 1 minute b4 the off.

But the reason that I used the PP (Tab-Form) is so that the selections are determined and bets placed well in advance.

I have only used this plan on Saturdays Metro, but would be interested in how it fares overall??? anyone got the data?

Hey Partypooper, the ratings that are provided on the new look WA Tabform guide are actually the same ratings that you find on the Unitab website, so in fact, you can get all the information required at the one place!

Sportz, yes I originated the plan using Fridays Tab-Form. But thought that as the ratings are the same anyone can find them on Unitab and use another source of Pre-post market if preferred.

Hi Honkin,


I wouldnt use TAB as prepost ever. NEVER. The reason is that the prices reflect the pool size and individual support on each horse will be pool size - TAB Takeout /units on horse . As we all know the real money dosent start coming untill last 2-5 min before race and continues up untill jump. Mostly the early money is from people that arent or dont want to bet late. It could include me with $100 in a $300 pool ...... that sort of thing would make anything favorite. News paper or other services is the only true early market. If its right or not that is a nother question.
