here is a little system i developed from ideas that others have contributed to this forum.... i've only tried it over a limited number of bets but its running at about a 40% win strike rate and 40% pot, based on unitab divvies .....given most selections are short priced, it would probably do a lot better getting best fluc from a bookie

one disadvantage is it is low action, only getting about 5 bets per week (only one bet so far this week, a winner @$2.70) ...anyway i'll post the rules and start with a clean slate today and see how it goes ....

1. must be tab number 1
2.last start winner
3. allocated weight of at least 2.5kg above the next weighted horse.
4.must be pre-post favourite

applies to all races
this is a "set and forget system", so i've only counted scratchings if they actually appear in the morning paper ....others might like to check on other scratchings to see if they make tab number 1 a qualifier (e.g if tab no. 2 is scratched that makes tab 3 2.5kg below tab 1)

todays only selection is cairns race 6/ junkets (which is interesting as it is the first "first upper" the system has selected)
