I thought I’d try and manually bet on the selective place system with REAL money (that of course is the minimum $5 amount on Betfair) about 10 seconds before each eligible race came along. What a load of codswallop. BIG loss of -$30 for me (-6 units) before I stopped doing that (using –6 units as the stop loss).
In the meantime I was trying to do a bit of trading and that suffered a bit because of the above.
The $2+ any horse place system went okay but a bit up and down. I was tossing up between putting the $5 real money on one of the place systems. Of course I chose to go with the selective place system.
Luckily the Odds On Favs system really kicked ass today with 11 winners in a row really improving the total.
Results 4/2/12

Odds On Fave System (Gallops & Trots)
A lot LOT better today (especially for $5 per base unit
).
And this result was AFTER 6 losing bets out of the last 9 bets stopping me out making the high effectively 23 units.

Selected Place System (Gallops Only)
This was stopped out today (see above for explanation).
While still in (very slight) profit I will stop doing this one and try and make something automatic for the people (after all, if I want to work all day, I can simply trade on Betfair).

$2+ Any Horse Place System (Gallops & Trots)
A bit up and down again as it is running all day. It might help to set a profit stop maybe or I somehow use something other than level stakes. Or, I might try something else altogether.
