Hi amateur,

Sorry you had a bad day with it, but it won't win every day like any system. Which jockeys did you run it with....they should at least be in the top three in each states premiership table.

Stick with it it has thrown up some winners at surprising odds.

There are meetings where you can get 6/8 winners and then there are the bad days like last weekend.

Amateur,

Strike rate is just your number of winners divided by your number of bets expressed as a percentage. For the figures you give we get:

Win Strike Rate = 1/6 = 16.7%
Place Strike rate = 2/6 = 33.3%

So a 70% strike rate would mean 7 wins for every 10 bets - possible with place betting but you will be a millionaire if you can do it on win betting!

EI must have been refering to place strike rate of 70%, unless he was exaggerating the win strike rate!

No way you could maintain a win strike rate of 70%, unless you only make about 10 bets per year.

Seems to me I never mentioned anything about 70% with this particular system.

"The odds will not be great on these horses but they range from odds -on to $10.00 with the average being about $4.00. The strike rate is very high approaching above the 70% mark providing you stick to the rules!"

What bollocks!

Just trying to protect new people to this site from losing their money following bad advice/tips. Users who have followed your ideas for some time already know the likely outcome.

Chief, you are really getting under my skin with this rubbish.

What is your problem???

By the way, I don't see people beating down your door for winning tips - there aren't any....just wild claims.

Haven't had a losing week for over a month.
Those who followed my tips are in front.

If my tips lose, I'm fair game for a bagging.
