I fail to see why posters are apparently annoyed that nobody has come forth to challenge the “bet in the wet” theory. If something works for those of you that DO bet on rain affected tracks, GREAT JOB! I don’t bet in the wet for a number of statistical reasons but in the end it also boils down to my belief that it adds an additional risk to a bet and is a risk that can be eliminated. Minimising the risk factors are the key to making a profit as is the self discipline required to stick to your guns. That is simply MY view and I don’t want to force anybody to agree with me.

It is also a matter of personal preference. We all have our idiosyncrasies. Some won’t bet at Moonee Valley. Some swear against betting on the footy. Others steer clear of apprentice jockeys or horses resuming from a spell. Whatever it is, it is a choice and does not require a detailed interrogation or explanation.
