Sahasastar, another way to look at it is the more results under your belt the less impact the inevitable horror run will have overall. I have a place system with 1050 results so far, with a S/R (at the moment) showing 69%+ and an average divi of $1.68+, so there have been 725 hits out of 1050, now lets say that we got a run of 10 outs (it's never happened but still) so we would now have 725 hits from 1060 or 68.39%, hardly touches it does it?? The POT also is hardly touched. Whereas say there is only 20 or even 100 bets so far, a run of 10 outs would probably kill it (when place betting anyway) So in my opinion it's the long haul that is the acid test.

Theres nothing wrong with Crash's methods i.e. "doing the form" I was good at it with UK racing but never mastered it here, so I rely on other people doing the form in the form Ratings and then apply my own pet filters, so far its working for me.
