I'm a great believer in consistency and betting on animals that show they are already in form. With the greyhounds, you have one less variable to worry about - no jockeys!

This is a system I had some joy with back in the 90's (I still remember when the Melb dogs were run at Olympic Park!!) and haven't looked at again for almost 15 years, so I'm sure the Forum Curse will run hot on this one, but, I'll do the selections anyway and keep a running total. Make up your own mind from there. I'll be using the newspaper Prepost Pricing as I don't have access to an online service.

This system is a full week's worth of action, played at any track in AUS, day or night, and considers only pre-post odds so can be run over a field any day or night, the selections determined, bets placed, and the forgotten about until the next day (the way I like to play it). Or you could be at the track or on your PC and chasing best odds right up until they sprint. Doesn't matter.

Note: Practical Punting Magazine (Blackwell, Jon Hudson, The Optimist, Don Scott, and my Dad) were the guys who gave me every single idea I ever had about punting. Nothing I run is 'original' to me - even the tweaks are other people's original ideas I've incorporated. About the only thing I did different was run these two methods together for more consistent overall profits.

So let's have some fun with the Dishlickers!

Rules

1. Consider the first 2-3 Favs if all under 4/1 in prepost only.
2. If last 2 runs add up to 4 or less, the mutt is a selection.
3. Must be running in either Box 1, 2 or 8. You can ratchet down the action if you want by considering only one certain box (1,2 or 8) as you see fit.
4. If more than 1 selection, pick lowest box number (ie. 1 before 2) only.
5. Bet to win only

You'll probably need to average prices at 9/4 or better to make this one pay (a great advantage of being at the bookies back in the day). If you can, level stakes profits are (or were) achievable.

Good luck.

'ere 'ere for the Aus Pro system, cost me about $20 in the late 60s or thereabouts and it was terrific. But as time went on and with the advent of computerised data bases etc. I found that I would be spending 15-20 minutes per race and end up with my selections almost parallel to the ratings that were being published for free.

Apologies for the slight break in transmission - moving house with a baby is a nightmare.

PLEASE NOTE - if you use TAB divs instead of the SKY Racing ones I'm using, you'll do much better. In fact, I had us in profit after completion of Sunday's racing using The Sun results - but lost the workout sheet between then and now... Nevermind - the winners are what counts in this - the better prices are for you to chase and will be individual.

OK, VIC results first for Friday 17/9/10 which were in Ballarat:
