Hi Kenchar,

I'm new to the forums, and have only seen one of your "systems", the 1/2 priced place dividend "system".... It is one that intrigues me, as I very much like the theory behind it... I've only seen two days worth of results, and the strike rate appears to be quite high... 7 wins from 11 bets if I remember correctly.... If you feel so inclined, could you please give some indication of the longer term strike rate?

Personally, my punting is what I would call "on the up". I only started betting seriously late last year, and I lost a few thousdand.. Add to that about the same again on books / systems and subscriptions. I will admit to expecting to have fared much worse, as I allocated a lot more than that as "learning money".

This financial year, I have started to recognise things that work, and things that don't. I'm currently losing about 8% on turnover, and this figure is steadily improving... Sacking some clearly rubbish systems has also helped. Will I get it right before the bank runs out? I am confident of doing so.

Both here and on Ausrace, there are those who maintain that you must be at the track to win... Unfortunately I, like many others who are serious punters, simply can't get to the track... The closest track of note is Sandown, and that is about an hour's drive away..... Until very recently I worked 5 days per week, and have committments on Saturday....

I recognise that these are limitations I must overcome, but should I just chuck it all away??? Not on your life!!!!

Cheers,
Chris.
