Writing something with the same intentions of how you would wish to say it, is a hard concept.

2 vital concepts when it comes to delivering a message are : tone of voice and body language.
Both of which are missing from a forum environment. All we have to go on is words on the screen.

Glad you are somebody that can step back and see others opinions. Also glad that you believe so much in what you are doing. We need more people that are so certain of their way of doing things, but we also need to believe that there are more than 1 way.

Happy punting. And don't forget, there is nothing wrong with a bit of "healthy discussion".

Your a good sport BJ. I try to get as much 'tone' into my posts as possible and I'm working on body language.

Just remember, there is only one way to do things, my way ;-)

I wanted to say something nice and in the spirit of reconcilliation too but everything I came up with sounded condescending. I might employ BJ as a speech writer if I ever need one.
Anyway, what BJ said.

Thankfully we don't have the tone of voice and body language or contact. Otherwise we also have kicking scratching biting and gouging. Mind you some of the stoushes have been entertaining, whilst others you wish would go away faster than the money in the wife's credit account. LSB.

The answer to that is "god knows"

Over the past couple of years I have seen dozens of mechanical systems in this forum,all basically the same.Different combinations of the same information perhaps,but really the same old formula worked and re-worked.

Some of them get results some of the time,but none are consistent money makers.

I cant understand my own form on the golf course and I dont have a jockey,barrier draw,,trainer,,etc etc ad infinitum,,,so my chances of predicting what a horse might do at some remote racetrack are pretty slim.

I like punting and make a reasonable fist of it.How ???? Just by following the money trail,,,,it's there,,it can be elusive,but it's there.To win requires patience and experience....Ok ok I'm getting there,,,,,next paragraph......

I think that there is a logical pattern in betting sequences,,they can be difficult to spot,but there is a rhythm to it all..A computer programmer who can capture this rhythm and link it to a TAB race betting fluctuation page will have the key to the vault.In my heart I know it can be done,in reality I dont have the ability to attempt it.

Maybe someone out there has gone down this path.He/she sure as hell isn't going to tell us.

im a golfer and i think your score varies so much on the golf course because of your level of expectation and belief in your own ability.this also relates to punting,there is an expectation of winning but when we dont win,anxiety creeps in and our level of judgement may be clouded,so we make bad decisions trying for a big collect,ie. the same as trying to hit your three wood 2oo metres over water,instead of laying up
cheers

Been there, done that, both on the golf course and in punting. That urge, to recoup the losses is just irresistible.
Happy to say overcame same!
May your first shot hit the flagpole many times (and not roll away into a bunker).

LSB less said the better.

Punting like golf little wins or break even for every one of the eighteen holes. Its hard to play bad all day and expect kill the pig on the eighteenth.

I'm not sure if horses have hopes or expectations,but I'm sure that they feel in the groove one day and out of it the next.Though at my age the groove seems to be a while ago.
