contrary to popular belief by your good self & your "disciples" I WAS NOT personally attacking you.I was merely questioning your methods re:quinella betting,which is an area I have studied for years.If I have "ruffled your feathers"or offended you,then I profoundly apologise.
The method you suggest is fraught with danger,because you are leaving out too many combos that can and will get up to bite you.And can you please post the qualifying races and selections BEFORE the race,not retrofit them later.Note my post and following results last Saturday,before the races.
Also,I personally do not bet during the week,so results there are of no matter to me.
I totally agree with one of your "disciples",there are oyher areas in this racing game where your expertise and/or knowledge would far and away outweigh mine,that is not a bone of contention.Quinellas are.I have read hundreds of your posts,and the common denominator that I find is that you are more of a numbers man than a form student.How glaringly evident was that with your very "clever"manipulation of my user name??I was NOT insulting your intelligence,for I believe you to be a very smart man.
Prince of Darkness,I like that,it's got a certain "ring" to it.
After 9 years in the Army and 2 tours of Vietnam,I DO LIVE IN DARKNESS!
It is my chosen place.
And please,I am NOT looking for sympathy,so dont you or any of your disciples afford me any,just be honest and call it as you see it.
Just dont back any horses with "HEAVENLY" names,cause I will pull them up.

Also beware of your disciples,there is a JUDAS" amongst them.
The one who thinks he's "cool" is my odds on fav.
Also on the subject of the "cool"one,as he is a self confessed "learner"could you,as the "chosen one",have one "last supper" with him.break some bread,share some wine,AND PLEASE,give him a copy of your "PUNTING BIBLE".

And please,if you choose to respond to this post,remove your crucifix,it's blurring my vision and burning my skin.

On the subject of deleting runners:
As your method suggest 8 runners then deleting 2,I would suggest this,digest it or dismiss it,up to you.
8 runners equals 28 possible combinations,far to many to be profitable.
What one needs to do,instead of deleting 2 of the runners(how many times will 1 of your deleted runners get up and roll you?)is to examine ALL 28 combos,and delete ANY combo with a COMMON WEAKNESS.
I.E.
Both runners 1st up
Both runners untried at the distance
Both runners going up or coming back in distance(more than 400 mtrs)
Both runners poor s/r win or place
Both runners poor trainer/jockey
Both runners poorly drawn
Both runners not won or placed at the track/distance
You will find this will weed out poor winning combos.
Whilst it is possible that 1 of them can place with 1 of those weaknesses,it is unlikely THAT BOTH WILL.
Therefore,you are eliminating poor combos and reducing your outlay without eliminating any of your 8 runners.
Maybe you will find that suggestion sensible maybe not,but it works for me.
