All these systems are only as good as the person who writes the specs for them - if you have a flawed 'bot', all it will do is become more efficient at losing your money! But if you have a set system which consistently wins and can be automated, you can buy back a lot of your time... |
Dear Zedative,
I have had some unfortunate experience with a couple of suppliers of these types of "systems". their main interest is in extracting high prices from unsuspecting suckers who pay willingly for so called fantastic systems.
Regular readers may have observed that I have a hatred for these leaches...
I know of one that was put in jail by the Fair Trading dudes and continued to operate his business while in jail! (it's documented fact, was in the papers, but the rules can't stop it) It seems that he didn't do any physical harm to people so he spent 2 yrs in a minimum security government holiday home.
His daughter, (following in dad's footsteps) was accused, (but not proven) to be involved in fraudulent charity collections..
And another that I know of actually promotes their system as an "Investment strategy"... (serious) and when the Fair Trading guys could not produce enough evidence to bring them to trial, they advertised their system as "Fair Trading approved" and show the unsuspecting suckers documents that suggest the the Fair Trading Dudes approved of the system!
and another that fled Australia only to set up in NZ, then on to the UK and back to H.K. and Japan....
Today he's "retired" with a popularly known horse worth $multi-millons plus, and loving the flashy lifestyle.
These people have no
conscious.. But he does have mega $$$.. All gained from people sucked into his schemes.
I hate these people. Pick up a copy of a form newspaper at your newsagent and count the adds.. Who's paying the cost of advertising? the suckers!
They have flashy adds, and suck in follow up brouchers and it's all a con...
The people who get hurt are your
neighbors, they're real honest folk who have lost their hard earned $$$ in the pursuit of a better life, (and ashamed to admit they got caught) and racing in general is purported as currupt!
This does nothing for the racing industry...
When was the last time you told a new friend that you were a serious "punter" and taken were seriously?
Say you are a cricket fan, or a rugby fan and that's Ok, but a horse racing? your an outcast!
Sorry for getting on my "High Horse" but these creaps burn me up. With the "new" ability to lay a runner these creaps will be prominant again..
Kind Regards
OzPunter
