I would suggest that the reason for BeCareful's figure regarding the wet and the outside runners is that "generally" those horses have a better surface to run on. Is it not a common conception that, in the wet especially, the horses will move to the outside to run on better ground than those on the inside?

I have also developed a system taken from advice from several strands in the forum it goes like this:

Only bet each way on -
Listed or Group winners / place getters
Fresh runners (5 or less starts in a prep)
Weights of 59+
Inside rail if good/dead
Outside rail if slow/heavy
Horse must be down in class
On favoured track
It has to have won over track and distance (and has won on slow/heavy if track is wet)
Must be home State jockey onboard
Must pay more than $3.00 a win or $2.00 a place

The result of this is I have stopped punting!!!!!

(Just trying to bring some levity to a very serious thread!)

Chrome, the same stats. can be used to support opposite arguments [ living in Canberra you will know how to do that already ]. So the **************s [politicians] are slumming it and living amongst us forelock tuggers in the ghettos ? Keeping my eyes peeled here now as I always wondered about a few of my dodgy neighbours around Paynesville who never look left when crossing the road but only to the right, always to the right !!

My views on barriers are supported by my own betting records so perhaps I should have said as far as my punting goes outside barriers are more often than not, a waste of time.

Cheers.
