Actually, that's not a bad system Party! I used to keep a note on how the 2nd. and 3rd. pp fav. went at the major Sat. meets from the 'Winning Post" form guides. It offered some very profitable days following those runners. Some losing days sure, but as a quick system to follow it has a lot going for it.

Single bets on either 2nd or 3rd pp fav. seem to work better than backing both.

As for the bit of a hullabaloo that developed here, I think some reaction was more to do with the obvious ability of 'fishing stories' to be told without evidence to back them up more than anything else.
Sure, any claims made in this forum could be true, but naturally vis-a-vis also applies. Claimants integrity is rarely challenged, but no evidence is being provided either, so they should except as fair any readers right of disbelief too without suffering narky [and often personal] comments. I always treat high profit claims with humour, not belief or disbelief. If I believed all the evidence free claims I've read here over the years, I would have bought the Sydney Harbour bridge by now :-)

There is always an easy way to prove punting prowess. It's called posting pre-post selections for a week or two, or entering the comps. and over the years, high profit claimants rarely [never?] do either, but often rage at any doubters as quick as a flash.
