I am convinced that to win it is essential to get over the odds and to do this one has to look outside the square, betting on horses others have overlooked. Is it time to examine time-weight again?

There is nothing wrong with DS's approach, even today.
And as long as PT Barnham's maxim holds true, and I see no sign of it being proven wrong, astute punters will WIN.
There are even free DSct ratings given out, but does the average punter take any notice or analyse them?
No he does not.
But each to his own beliefs.
Good luck |
