Thanks champ it makes sense.

Here is a Unitab idea i use.
Fresh-up horses up to 1200m i back the highest rated. S/R isn't special but it is more than compensated for by the divis.

Yep. Here's a few ideas that you can think about. I've found them successful in the past, so maybe you might want to try them out.

Distance - up to 1200m.
100 raters first up which have previously won at this distance (better still, won at this distance at this track). Another idea, 100 raters, first-up, starting from barrier 1 and carrying no more than 55 kgs.

Thanks Sportz.

With the 100 rated A B & C I think there is a level of dividend where they become value.

I tend to use this on 100 raters overall and have a Saturday and mid-week level of dividend I will not punt below.

This method eliminates many bad bets and means you only have two or three bets per meeting.When I reach 100% profit per meeting I stop.Usually by the end of the day I'm showing a profit.

Good idea. With the System selections I post, I don't really make any recommendations regarding price, but if the horse is below $3 it may be a good idea to leave it out. What sort of minimum price do you use?

I use 3$ mid- week and slightly higher during the weekend.The betting pools are larger then.

Also I don't back second-uppers and horses having won maidens etc. In other words being at the right price they still have to have the correct form and don't become automatic choices.

Hmmm, thanks for your idea!

I had a look at the Unitab System selections today and there were 4 that were less than $3 at jump time for no wins and 3 placings.

You're certainly devoted to this forum sportznut. You seem to post consistently seven days a week 16 hrs a day. Hope it's from your portable PC otherwise you must never get out :smile:

THURSDAY JULY 8 Results
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I guess I didn't do too bad with the multiples and system selections, but my own tips were just TOTAL RUBBISH! How embarassing. I really only liked 4 races today, but I thought that wasn't enough, so silly me, I went looking for a few more races to include. I certainly won't be doing that again!!! I also made a slight change to the tipsters system which cost me a $14 winner at Wyong, so it hasn't been a great day. Back to the old drawing board for tomorrow.

By the way, I made a mistake when I first posted today. I incorrectly included Grafton 3-3 and 7-8 as Unitab system selections. I've now deleted them, and although 3-3 actually won paying $5, I'm not going to take credit for that mistake.
