With all due respect to you syllabus23, given your response above.. have we wasted our time posting our best efforts considerations for your attention.

Not one response above to your original post above that I can see, alludes to it being simple or even that any of us are in the 2% and rich with it. Just that the answers are all there / here if you look for them.

One or two learning lessons here for me at least, I believe.

Good luck with your efforts on the lay side, in any case.

I ran it through and couldn't get it into POT. Maybe there's a couple of other filters Gunny uses.

Thanks barny. I know Gunny chooses his words carefully and he didn't say that it makes a profit.

darkydog2002, you dont have a database so really you cannot say with conviction that "There's no Magical Filter". There ARE filters which with the flick of a button CAN alter a LOT of say 30% into a POT of say 30% without dropping the number of selections down to too few. Given you one under the heading of "Pssst", and I'm and I'm not !!!!!

LOL

Moeee, you will note syllabus23's original post above and my follow up posts which suggest that one does not need ability, magic, mind reading or a eureka filter to come up with winners. Just some additional research - a lot of which can be conducted on here.

How much research syllabus23 has already conducted is a matter for him to decide.

Cheers LG

The best piece of information I can give comes from Chrome Prince who claims to have busted every MYTH in racing. If you read some of Garyf's posts you will also see that he blows up some myths too. My advice is to once again go directly against some of the more popular filters .....

This is hard to do as you might not know what you're really looking for.

So, have a look at your Herald Sun form guide, FRONT PAGE only !!!!!, and you can not only knock out half a dozen, you can put IN filters to the contrary ..... and THAT is where a LOT can turn into a decent POT. Can't happen can it ?!?!

The popular filters to have IN are "c", "t" and "d", LSW, TopWeight, Good Barrier .....

What do you think would happen if you looked for a horse with NONE of the above ?? 98% of the squirrel heads masquerading as punters living on bread and dripping, drinking cask wine, smoking OP's and wearing strides that are being held up with a dressing gown belt and a well worn paisley shirt and dress thongs would be absolutely sure that the S/R would diminish, and diminish fairly substantially ..... That's a whole lot of racings folklore / myths "bundled" into one big ball of an absolutely certain LOT. Don't take my ramblings as anything other than ramblings, test 'em.

Great post Barny... the last para is still killing me LMBO - so many visuals.. LMFBO !

I had you in mind when I was constructing that post LG

Keep em coming Barny. Funnily enough, I was seeing you in the pictures you presented and I am still LMAO! (sigh.. wiping away the tears)

This is even better than the visual of you getting around the first turn at mooney valley and already running out of puff, as per your earlier post.
