Hello Partypooper,

Apart from the fact that the stats are very good, September was a convenient starting point as it is the beginning of Spring Racing - usually a time when betting is tough and many punters lose a lot of money.

Personally I know how our selections are going without any need to work out POTs but having some spare time at the end of February went through past results from the beginning of Spring racing and worked out the POT for those six months.

We've given up marketing our racing service with annual, genuine POTs and don't usually refer to POTs over any extended period of time.

It's simply not a level playing field when you are competing against a large amount of fabrications and retrofitted results all claiming to be genuine past results.

The average person will take one look and say, "They only made 8% POT or 12% POT or 20% POT or whatever over the last year or two years. That's no good. This service made 85% POT. This tipping service turned $500 into $50,000."

Heaven forbid if you actually lose money over a period of time. Of course it happens in the real world of betting. But not when you are competing against fabricated results. "There has never been a losing run of more than four bets" or whatever. What absolute hogwash.

But the average person doesn't understand.

If they wish to take the time, people can see how we are going by our pretty detailed, regular write ups at www.propun.com.au/horse_racing_news_index.html

Neil.

Hey really good point re people's punting though Neil.

One prominent "Darwin" bookie states that 95% of mugs on a train can look through a guide and pick a winner, but they lose because they have gambling problems.

Or, people lose because they punt like fools.

Duritz, yes mate that's why I was emphasising the absolute test of any info, is in the eating i.e. LEVEL stakes betting one unit per horse over at least 2 years investing = what amount of POT?

If I pick out 3 winners on one day from all those and say I have 300% POT, what good is that to Aunt Mary?? if I pick out 3 losers I could say that I have 300% LOT, correct??
