Yeah. :o

We were only using the Daily Challenge on Saturdays, but it's just that it was pretty obvious there wasn't a great deal of interest in it and also we had the problems with people not being able to check their POT etc.

Yep it's down Sportz.Used the neural setting Tim 3 JA 3 TA 3 JT3 on friday and came up with a 71% pot 9 wins 9 places 5th place.Did it in 10 minutes while working a double shift.Couldn't hang around in case i was caught.

Usually have at least 3 settings for class and distance and it can take up to two hours to do.

The result was ironic heh? Could be a good setting for minor meetings!?:)

Have you done any research with the neurals on what combination seems to work best? How did they go today?

Hey Kiwi, I got an $86 winner yesterday in Townsville R5 with that barrier thing I was talking about a while back. My top pick was number 1 from barrier 1 in a field of 16, so I also had $1 EW on number 4 from the outside barrier. The horse was only $11 pre-post, but it hadn't even had a run before and it was coming from barrier 16, so everyone pretty much ignored it. They actually ran the quinella too which paid $125, but I only had an any2 which paid $30.

It's amazing how many times the inside or outside barrier bobs up at good odds in big fields (14+). Even if I don't back them individually, I always like to have them in any2s, quinellas, trifectas at least. Take a look at Melb R6 & 7 and Adel R6 today. I could have possibly even had the $5095 trifecta on Melbourne R7 if I had been willing to outlay more on that race. :(

Do you mean they were the only 4 settings you used?

Yeah, just those Sportz.I will use the same settings today (sunday) the only problem with neurals as they tend to fluctuate in their efficieny and i'm not sure how comparitive friday and sunday racing is.

Yesterday I managed 6th place, unusual because i usually stink on the stronger race days.The neurals i used varied according to the strength of the fields and distance.The many upsets probably contributed to my better performance.I don't always go for favourites or high raters.It is POT i am concerned with achieving.
My Auzzie punting was 4 bets 4 losses.

Backed a NZ winner on looks only yesterday ( it did a good prelim, looked muscled, threw its legs straight, bent it's knees perfectly and was prancing at the barrier all good signs)That paid for my days punting with a 47% profit.
Only 3 winners overall from 13 bets but the price about the winners was good enough

Well done on that big winner a brilliant return on investment, your barrier system is a beaut and i have won off it before.As you have said you do not need much on to profit big from an outsider.The only problem if you cover all bases ie the Melborne and Adelaide race too it dilutes your overall POT should you miss .
In my case i never punt more than 10% of my bank each day and spreading the outlay toowide i could reach that limit too quick.

I would be HOPELESS at going by looks for horses. I could tell when a horse is overweight or something but that's about it. Apart from that, I must admit that all horses look pretty much alike to me.

Weigh the ************s! just like they do for greyhounds.

kiwi 17th April 2005 10:31 AM

Agree Paddy, weigh 'em, i think they do in Hong Kong.

Heavy track at Sunshine Coast today Sportz so will use WT 5 DIST 3 and DLR 5.This setting has come up with lowest saddlecloth numbers and widest draws too.One was paying over $100!?I can't back it as we do not get the early Auzzie races to bet on NZ.

kiwi 17th April 2005 12:05 PM

This could be a day for the 100 raters, a couple of good results so far!
