Time or more importantly, lack of it can make handicapping an unattractive proposition and simplicity a preferred option.

Note* As my aim here was not to become involved in system pros and cons, but only to point toward a punting direction for those with limited time, the example system I had provided here has now been removed to allow the reader to use one of their own choice and responsibility [ my original example system can be seen below in a following post ].
I recommend a system of your own making as freely available ones produce losses very quickly for obvious reasons.

The system you use should have a reasonably good SR. providing no more than 3 to 5 bets on a Wed. or Sat.


Modified Martingale for a $100 [ example ] betting day target.

1. Divide your target $100 by the odds
offered on your first selection for the
day e.g. $100 divided by 4 to 1 [ $5.00 ]
equals $25 bet to return $125.
2. This is the bet amount for your first
selection.
3. If the horse wins, collect your money and
stop for the day.
4. If you lose, add the $25 to your $100
target profit.
5. Continue until you get a winner and then
stop.

If a losing day is encountered it can be rolled over to your next betting day or loss can be wiped and a new series started. I would STRONGLY recommend the later for obvious reasons.

The aim is to provide a small but strong group of selections with the betting method designed to require only one winner to reach your target profit amount.

Cheers and good punting.
