Thumbs up

well said joelance. in recent years the wider racing and betting community has taken on the fast food rush-rush mentality of society in general . having been punting for over 30 years i have seen this lead to a sharp growth in an almost keno mentality in the way racing is promoted and hence also a rise in 'get rich sytems' .

It think the point to be made is that a system is just that - systematic . it is rigid and allows for limited flexibility . just the very words " guaranteed' , 'sure thing' , 'instant wealth' should send a shiver up most peoples spines.

from where i sit what lacks most in recent years is a 'get back to basics' approach . this has been lost in the 1 race every 3 and 4 minutes 7 days a week beamed into our tabs and pubs and homes. for this reason , i for one have found it heartening that some of the newer sites like **************************.com are actually seen to be trying to promote re-education by challenging the punter to think for themselves and not listen to the guy on the radio with the 'late mail' heard over last night steak and chips.
