Chief, you are entitled to your opinion as far as this being doomed to fail. I did state in my first post re this system that it takes time to fire up. Again, I am not necessarily trying to pick the winner of an individual race against opposition, I am investing in a horse that I know has the class and ability to be able to string a few races together each campaign. Some will run 8th and then pop up at any old odds because there are things about a horses preparation that we as punters are not privy to(eg blood work, viruses, shin soreness, etc etc). Good form is winning form on the formguide and so these horses which are placing each start are usually under the $10 mark.
The shorter priced winners top up the bank...eventually. The profits lie in the $10 plus area.

I am a very objective punter and usually bet according to statistics rather than sentiment (except for Super Impose and old Luther's luck, which both won me a packet).

I have been using this sytem for the past 5 years and while you do string together a few very bad days, on occasion I have had days where 8 horses saluted (in different states at $15.00 plus each with the biggest price being about 33/1).
But I can't convince anyone else til it starts to turn a profit when a lot of the stable have had at least 3 runs. You can't judge it on around 30 horses with one run each. It seems people expect to pick every winner of every race...
We'd all be millionaires!
