I have really been rethinking my System approach. I had a simple enough system that was going ok. Then I came back here a few months ago and tried to get too cute and everything has gone belly up.

I have been rethinking my approach trying different stratergies and competing against it by selecting the horse I thought could win. My systems failed but my self selections went ok.

Then I read the Pittsburg Phil story and he made a lot of sense even though it was a long time ago. So I thought I would try to come up with something that employed a system value but had some human imput into it as well.

Today was my first day with it and I put $20 into my Sportsbet account and decided 2 1/2% of bank balanced each night for the next days bets. So 50 cents per bet was the first day.

Six bets in total. Surprise the first won paying $8 then a further two giving me three winners a second out of six starters.

My bank is now $25.55. So I won $5.55 on fifty cents bets. Tomorrow my bets will be at 70 cents. actually 63.87 cents but I take it up to the next full ten cents.

That is the good thing about Sportsbet they accept 10 cents minimum bests and they like losers.

I have been trying to work a self selection and a System selection intogether to get rid of some of the hopeless selections they came up with yet still allow me the hope of some good price winners.

I have to thank CosMos for his link, it has helped me to come up with a new stratergy based on a different approach.
