Good Luck.

Sounds like a bit of 'crowing' there mate :-))
I wouldn't be rushing into selling you mechanical method yet though as even after 83 bets, it still lost to the bookies and most of your collect came from a couple of longshots the system threw up.
After carefully re-checking the actual win/loss figure for the whole comp:
Wise One [missed a week actually]----------- O/L 900.......Rt 1054.......Profit 154
Wesmip1------------------------------------O/L 1000......Rt 870.........Loss 130
Magivor-------------------------------------O/L 900.......Rt 845.........Loss 65
Of special note*
InjuandaQLD------------------------------- O/L 300.......Rt 552.........Profit 252
I think we were all lucky this punter only punted for 3 of the 10 weeks!
Also, I'd like to point out that [with hindsight], my scoring system was very poorly conceived, as there was a lot to gained just by tunning up every week [even to lose] and those punters who missed a week here and there, were unfairly penalized. So I'm sorry about that.
Cheers.
