Hermes, you should like this one. I know that you like to use info from the Unitab website to help with your betting. Well, here's something you can try which is EXCEEDINGLY simple but for some reason, seems to do okay.

Stick to NSW and VIC meetings and look only at the tips of Radiotab's specialist tipsters (John Holloway, Ray Hickson, Shane Templeton and Brendan Cormick). Now, ignore all their 1st selections and back their 2nd and 3rd selections to win.

I'm not suggesting this is the holy grail. It's simply a fun way of having an interest from race to race. Obviously you will miss out plenty of times, but from my experience, it's rare to go a meeting without picking up a nice dividend. There was a $17.90 winner yesterday at Gilgandra and there's already been a $16.40 winner today at Moruya.

There are different ways you can go with this idea. You can simply bet in every single race or you can bet until you make a profit for the meeting or for the whole day.

Take a look at how this plan has gone so far today:
Moruya (Ray Hickson)
R1 tips 7-4-2 Winner 2 paid $16.40 PROFIT $14.40
R2 tips 13-11-3 Winner 3 paid $5.40 PROFIT $3.40
R3 tips 7-5-2 Winner 5 paid $9.30 PROFIT $7.30
R4 tips 3-6-2 Winner 2 paid $3.20 PROFIT $1.20

Swan Hill (Shane Templeton)
R1 tips 7-4-8 Winner 4 paid $6.90 PROFIT $4.90
R2 tips 1-10-7 Winner 1 paid $3.20 (LOSS $2.00)
R3 tips 5-1-4 Winner 4 paid $5.90 PROFIT $3.90
R4 tips 3-1-4 Winner 4 paid $2.60 PROFIT $0.60

If you had been simply looking for a profit at each meeting, you could have stopped after race 1 at each venue having spent just $4 and got back $23.30!!!

I would warn you that it may not be a great idea to join in now with the rest of today's races. After such a brilliant start, it's probably too much to expect this plan's run to continue today!!!
