The tendency is to tweak! Add a few filters, or more rules and change the mechanics, there by changing everything including your confidence level in the method and the risk that you are willing to endure. Usually this is followed by a further few tweaking sessions before the whole system is thrown out and a new grail is sought. That's the way most punters work.".

Ive been reading and contributing to this forum for many years now,lately just reading.
I have to say though that what Michal has written above could be stamped as an advisory note over almost every thread in the Horse Race Betting Systems Forum. Simple in nature but one of the most important comments ive read.
Its the recurring mistake that every single person on here has or is still making.
Understanding this issue is the key to success.
