I have had a look at the weekly figures for each week this year and if you are considering using this system be warned that you do need to be prepared for a run of outs. There was one 4 week period with around 40 selections in total and only a single $12 winner. Around 40% of weekly figures had no winners but there were also some great weeks - 18 bets for $59.40, 13 bets for $47.30, 10 bets for $40.80, etc. Like any long-odds betting you need to make sure you are prepared for the possible long gaps between drinks!

Hermes - Yes you could include the lower raters for more bets but there does seem to be a big drop between the 99 and 98 raters - in fact 98 raters perform worse than 97 raters but I suspect that may just be a statistical anomoly.

Bhagwan - Thanks for that. The long-term average is about 10 bets/week (so 2 per day) but it is quite variable - there were several weeks with only 2 or 3 bets the whole week (possibly because of the Good/Fast track restriction?) but other weeks with 20+ bets. You certainly need some patience but the plus side is you don't need to spend a lot of time studying the form guide! Today you only need to look at Queanbeyan and I don't think any of the 99-100 raters will start at over $11 (so far most of them have been under $5).
