Crash's theory went along the lines of the fewer times you bet the less you lose. (If I've got the wrong end of the stick Crash I apologise, it's just something that stuck in my mind and was a long time ago).

When it comes to form study it makes sense. Careful selection of 2 or 3 races to study and bet on is far better than betting a whole race meeting card where a lot of the races have runners with very little exposed form or even no exposed form. It often means the difference between profit and loss. System betting with lots of bets might be a different cup of tea, depending on the system. I haven't enough experience with systems to draw any definite conclusions regarding number of bets.
