The perfect system
 

I watched this on telly last night and found it pretty interesting. A guy in the UK claims to have developed the perfect system for picking winners at the races.

The 1st video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX94fV4TWbc

I think there is about 6 parts but well worth a look if your bored.

Hey Billy, just to save me watching all 6, at what point does it get to "how $ much" I have to send and how???

It reminds me of an old movie I saw years ago wherbey this bloke gets hold of TOMORROWS newspaper and goes to the races, it was what we all dream about!

Then I suggest you watch Part 6.

There's NO "This is how much it costs. This is how to pay."

Marcus, there is some strange things in this world, I've heard of a documented case of a lady who dreamt that her late husband told her to take his bith date numbers and his date of death numbers in the lotto and yep! she won millions.


I myself have had two winners given from a ouija (spelling?) board.

So I wouldn't dismiss anything as totally impossible, but in this case one would have to ask what is the point of the video?? and also the acting in number 6 was particularly bad, especially the punters in close proximity to them (obviously stooges)

Why let the poor woman almost have a heart attack when she thought she had lost all her cash? for what reason? (other than to make a rather poor movie)

My guess it was all camera trickery, i.e. when did you see an authenticated betting slip with an independent auditor BEFORE the race .

eg. Record the race, jump up and down at the result. Now make another video talking about the name of the winner and splice it in (for want of a better description)

A backfitted result for sure.

Party
You know full well, nobody will give away a winning secret in this game.

We all make our luck happen!

Hey Party!
What ever happened to that Ouija board.

I hope you didn't sell it at a pawn shop so as to make the next bet.

Did you hear about the Spiritualist who refused to pay her Exorcist?

She ended up being repossessed.

Well, Bhags , I'd refrained from telling the whole story as it was in the TOO WIERD catagory, but as you've quite rightly stirred, I'll tell it (as long as it's ok with management)

I'd been in OZ from aged 16-18 (69-71) got back to the UK to find amongst many changes that my Mum and Sister had taken to consulting the Ouija Board occasionally, now one night (me being the eternel sceptic) and forcing myself not to laugh, decided to have ago and asked (quipped) "can you tell me a winner at the races?" (in a slow, almost mocking voice)

To which the glass shot across the table to YES, I asked what is it's name? again the glass forcibly spelled out the name "Knotty Pine" by now I'm only half laughing as the force of the glass was unerving to say the least, ..... I asked when will it win? in a flash it spelled out EBOR. (which didn't mean a thing)

Now, none of this meant anything to me, and I knew my Mum and sister knew nothing about horse racing, so I was disturbed.........., later my Dad came home, and I immediately asked, " have you heard of a horse called Knotty Pine? he replied yes, it's a runner in the "EBOR" handicap at York on Thursday, The hairs definitly stood up on the back ofmy neck I can tell you!

Well, I can tell you that many many people in "Thornaby" Yorkshire England were on "Knotty Pine" to the point that it was backed in from a longshot to 9-2 Fav, ................ it won in a canter, from memory at least 6 lengths.

And if you think that's wierd, wait till you hear about the next one!!!!!

That's it; I'm throwin' out the Database and buying a Dartbase...Oops! Dartboard and a Ouija Board. No more black magic for me, I'm goin' hightech......

well Dennis g and others, I can't blame you for that response, there are many people still alive that could swear an avidavit that what I wrote is correct, but you know what ,....you still wouldn't believe it so what's the point.?

But it was only meant for entertainment...... so I'd better not iterate the next episode as that would definitly send you over the edge!!!!

PLEASE!!!! Party.
 

Unless you've been there you can't understand. I have been there. I for one would love to hear Part 2.

As to the You Tube thingy Billy I thought it was fascinating. The whole point of the excersize is to prove the reality of the method. But of course it only worked for that one girl out of all the thousands Mr Brown targetted. This in essence is exactly the same trick pulled by the Gold Coast set.

Party,
I was only 'avin' a laff ol' son. I'd love to hear part 2

Den

Well, guys, by popular demand.......... episode 2.

Ok, so now you will understand after my and everyone elses substantial winnings in the Ebor, we were all VERY keen to go onto the next winner,...I tried and tried but all I got was jibberish, until one night, with the same clarity as before; I got the word TORSO, now I don't know why but just this word frightened me, like as if it was en evil spirit, I don't know what but it was enough to make me stop this ouija board stuff.

Anyway about 2 months later I was visiting the local betting shop in Thornaby (the equivolant to your local TAB) it was a public holiday, with heaps of meetings all over the country, too many to bet at by far. I'd placed my bets and was leaving when I heard in "eerie steely voice" 9-2 TORSO (over the tanoy)......... not only did the hairs stand up but a cold shiver went from my neck to the tail bone.

I went back into the crowded shop, found the meeting amongst the dozens of newspapers on the boards, and there it was in a 2yo race with NONE of the starters having run before, TORSO.......... I approached the counter and emptied my pockets (can't remember how much) but chucked the lot on TORSO, a few minutes later it was off, 5 furlong race, over in a jiffy, with TORSO winning in a canter. I collected my winnings in a "daze"

I spent the next few months trying to invoke the same spirit but alas, never did........ well only once, when I asked the name of a Grand National winner,

it spelled out the name "Endeavour" .......... one year there was a runner called Wise Endeavour, on which I lost a small fortune, but every year I still look for a horse called "ENDEAVOR"

Now, sceptic or not , if ever it runs it will carry my HOUSE!

Stop it , just stop it!

You're frightening me now Party.

I just had to ask, didn't I.

gave me the shivers reading it Party!

lucky it didnt spell out 'REDRUM'...:)

Now you've whet my appetite, Party, anecdotes of the turf......Ahhhhh!!!

Funny you should say that Stugs, it was the year that Red Rum won (not sure if it was the first) But remeber that Cooks Flagship was called Endeavour, on which was served daily ......... "Red Rum" ah, nah, tooooo cryptic that ey? hahahahh!

Those are some stories Party!

You could make a small fortune just asking which short favourites won't win.
Instead of asking for a name, ask will such and such win.

I've heard many stories about ouija boards and also clairvoyants.

Here's a story for you, not racing related.

As a kid, I had a pet budgie.
My father used to hand feed it cereal to get it tame and taught it to speak.
He used to call it birdie birdie.
That budgie only ever said birdie birdie.

My father then passed away from an operation that went wrong, amongst his ailments was a kidney problem.

Being a very spiritual person, but not religious, some weeks later my mother was recommended by a friend to a very good clairvoyant.

This clairvoyant said many things that were spot on, but they have a way of manipulating and testing if they are on the right track, so I insisted on hearing the cassette tape of the consultation.

I should also say that I am a sceptic when it comes to clairvoyants.

My mother said "just listen!"

Without any information the clairvoyant says "I see a yellow feather, and who is bertie?"
"Yes, I'm seeing lots of yellow feathers floating down and bertie, bertie."

How could she confuse the name, we worked it out.
My father had a strong Irish accent.

A week later the budgie died, the vet told us it was kidney trouble :eek:

an old mate of mine used to carry on about old Red Rum, won the Grand National a few times if I remember his tales correctly, reckons he was on the nag every time....well ive told a few porkys in my time as well...but anyway Ive had a good day & too many ales & Steven King's REDRUM wasnt a nag but scared the pants off me back in the day

happy days

Stugs, I've had a few me-self, but just hought I'd relay one true annecdote, my brother (in the Royal Navy) brought a mate home round about the time we are talking about, the National was on (4 miles 856 yards, just thought I'd throw that in for the Quizz buffs amogst us) anyway we decided to pick a nag for each other to back, well he picked me some donkey that fell at the first fence I think, anyway the one I picked for him........ "Foinavon" won at 100-1 after ALL the other runners fell.......... true story! sailors luck!

PS Some re-mounted and finished the race.

time for my true story
 

This is a true story and a few friends of mine made a few dollars out of it

this happened about 20 years ago. I had a dream that I was at a race course and a jockey that I knew at the time, went past me on his horse on the way to the start and said "Hi There" to me. The next part of the dream he won the race.

In the morning I remembered the dream and I knew it was either races 8,9 or 10 and the saddle cloth number was between 1 and 5.

So off I toddled to the corner dairy to get the paper and sure enough race 8 number 5 was Hi There ridden by this jockey.

I told a few friends and they backed him. I anchored him for 1st with the field for 2nd and 3rd.

He won paying about $12 for the win and the tri paid $3600

I have been waiting for the next such dream with standing orders from people who want to be in on it.

Wise One

Finally found the time to watch the video's, and apart from all the "oh my god"'s, I found it quite entertaining.

Mark, hahahah! yes, it is entertaining in it's naivity (spelling?) isn't it, lots of laughs at the poor acting,.... but do you think that they really expected people to be sucked in by that??? or was it just meant to be a "joke"? I haven't quite worked it out yet!

But there again there is a bloke STILL living on the gold coast promising that you will make a fortune by backing all-ups for the place,..... uggghhhh!

By the way did you clean uplast week with the RESURRECTION bets????? I had a ball, ............. and all of my relies!!!!!

Good call Party, I love those resurrection bets.
Only made 1 mistake on Saturday when one of them won, but Wednesday was great, managed to pick 3 losers out of 3. Sportsbet file definitely stamped MUG.
