Found these comments on this forum ...... Luv 'em.

There are many systems which operate on rules like "must have placed in last start" or "must be LSW" or "must be placed at least once in past three" etc. All these ideas ARE NONSENSE. We want to get on horses which "frighten" the mass of spot players AWAY. It's clear that finishing positions tell you nothing at all about the class of race; how the race was run etc etc. We don't care about that EXCEPT that we know others DO.


It's about "perception" and "appearance" NOT sense.

..... and the author was ?????

If Shaun is reading this I reckon he might know.

sounds like either crash or punter57

Too good vortech, p57 'twas. I did enter his longshot system into my database, best I could, and the S/R was terrible.

Hi Barny ,
Have there been any bets since you posted?

Yes, there has actually.

The strike rate was indeed terrible but it did select some amazing winners including a Canberra Cup winner at over $100. I followed it for fun for about a year and quit when EI hit the industry but the thrill of backing 50/1, 60/1 and 80/1 winners was terrific even if only for small stakes.

Speedy, I have every word uttered by punter57 on the longshot thread. It's the best thread I've read on here. Would have loved to have read his visiting trainers thpoughts too but it appears to have gone.

Hi Barny,
What were they?
