I use the Sportsman because I have done for years now,and am quite familiar with the layout and can sort thru races fairly quickly.Remember that you only need to look at its last start,not average out its last 5 or whatever.I do not suggest trying it on too many races,be selective.Look for standouts like that one,they don't dissappoint.I don't have any stats on it because have only just begun working on it.One other rule I forgot to put in was only operate on races with at least 10 runners.In races where there are 3 or 4 runners going down its obviously more open,Randwick R5 was an example;
Cassimir & Hasty Belle were both down 20k,and Brave Player & Desert Brigadier were down 17.5k.Two runners were eliminated(beaten margin last start,and no.2 was up by 20k,so I left it out.
suggested bet was a 4x7x7 trifecta @ $1=$120
result 4-10-8 $194.50
profit $74.50
Unfortunately I boxed the top 4 for $10,cost $60 and didn't get it thus reducing my profit on the race to $14.50.
Live and learn,I'm giving the quinella a miss from now on and chasing the big bucks in tri's and first 4's.
If anyone is interested I'll work out some races next Friday & post them on the forum.Bit worried about the dreaded forum "jinx"though!!!
cheers
