Be Careful,
I bet solely on my own ratings and rarely have a losing day.While I understand that everyone has different ideas, I think I am doing ok winning 9 weeks in 10 and would never change my betting ideas.
My basis is to completely ignore jockeys,trainers, barriers, track bias etc. which are the 4 things most punters use to come to their selections.
The important things are weight, distance, strength of the opposition.
I have given my ratings to mates of mine and they have lost week after week with them while I have been winning which shows that some people win, some don't.Their excuse is just doing the wrong thing.
While it is true that more favs win than 2nd favs down the line, I can't agree with the idea of backing horses under $3.I back 2 or 3 horses per race and would never consider backing under $3.
After 50 years punting I have never seen 1 punter who can win over a long period of time backing 1 horse per race or taking short prices.
Punters are always looking for some magical secret of success.There is only 1 secret , reasonable selections and methodical and sensible betting.
While people will completely disagree with me I'm winning, are they ??
