Ok, got interested in this enough to check out the success of my version (I stress this - it's my version not Crash's).

Ran it over October/Sept/August. I got excited when for October it was +78units on backing the win, but September and August both showed a loss of over 100 units backing the win (-40 for place backing).

Ah well, was exciting there for a while. Wonder if October will continue to be successful, I'll keep an eye on it.
