So here we are Max. Darkydog2002 has 600 systems none of which work and moeee is still trying to find a winning method. I recall a great contributor here called crash who admitted in one post that he didn't win, that surprised me. His posts were quite brilliant and informative. They certainly weren't statistically based, nor did he put a great deal of faith in systems.

It seems that no one is winning?

Say there's a pool of $100k at the TAB. The TAB takes out $15k and that leaves $85k to be distributed to punters. What percentage of consistently dumb (follow the herd) money makes up that representative and "on-going" $85k?

Perhaps there may be an error in your premise that following the herd is dumb.

In Following Market Moves , the Punter is trying to get a Free Ride into some unknown data that obviously somebody is willing to invest a large sum of their hard earned on.

I don't do it myself , unless the animal is one of my predetermined selections.
