Chrome is right. If he wasn't, every bookie and Casino in the World would be out of business!

Still, gullible mug punters line up to believe in and even buy, loss into profit 'gold' systems, sprouted by rogue system sellers and 'faith' believers, who really do believe 2+2 =5. Bookies and Casinos really love this lot of dills.

Thats an interesting idea, based on the stats on winners and their final odds this might be profitable. I'm going to try it "on paper" over the next couple weeks and see how I fair. I don't know if you saw my thread but I tracked the winners and their final odds from Dec1-Dec22nd and found that there were quite a few winners with odds of $26. My logic being that its worthwhile because if you bet 1 unit, you only need to hit every 25th bet for it to be profitable.

take it quietly i got miss badoura and cocinera i missed out on lectrice and our spur.
but was okay day.
but i wouldnt be taking short odds on anything many horses are not really likely to win two in a row.
son of spartacus and ima khan in bunbury were under the odds and bits of hacks.
sydney was a poor meeting didnt bet.
let adelaide r7 go as too difficult only listed last start winner was green machine and he qualified in 2004 which was too long ago.
bet of the day was cocinera with a last start listed win to his credit.

if you rekon a horse is unlikely to go 2 in a row, would it be better to look at horses that have placed 2nd, 3rd and firth? Maybe look at the margin they lost by?

Is it perchance that you are slowly approaching handicapping maybe?
If so, Welcome brother, and may the form and class, guide you to your financial dreams.
Good luck

Iomeca,

Favs return around 86-90% with a strike rate of around 30%. I do not know any staking method that could (in practice) turn that type of loss with such a low strike rate into a profit. That would just be crazy.

But progressive staking plans do work with some systems/selection techniques (even if they are showing a small loss).

Good Luck.
