The 40/60 System
Hi All,
Working on a simplistic win and place system which basically finds safer each way horses to bet on. Rules are as follows:
1) Only select horses with a winning percentage of 40% or higher the win and 60% or higher the place
2) No two or three year old races or restricted class races.
3) Only select horses that have finished within 4 lengths of the winner at their last start, provided they did not win.
4) Only select horses with a proven first or second up record in similar quality races.
5) Only select horses that are proven at the track or distance (50% place at worst).
6) Never select a horse with an apprentice jockey on board unless they are claiming below the minimum (generally these horses fail rules 1 & 3 hence the reason for minimum weight and the claim)
7) Never select a horse that has drawn off the track. Stick to horses that have drawn barriers 1-7 (unless down the straight at Flemington or Vic Park).
8) Only bet if the odds for the win are greater than $3.50
9) In races where there are more than one that suffice the above rules no bet.
10) 25 units the win 25 units the place.
Does it look a decent method?
