Not much joy in this one Chuck.Sorry.

3 years results .

BETS = 4649 /WINS 991/STRIKE RATE 21.32 %

LOSS ON TURNOVER = 19.46 %

Cheers.
Darky.

darky, could you check some results for me too?

I have been doing ok with a place system for a while but it has recently turned against me. I was wondering what kind of results it gives historically to determine whether to continue with it or not.

I guess this should be in the system thread really but anyway the rules are:

1. #1 - Top Weight or Equal Top Weight
2. Won last start unless first up after a spell
3. Ran in last 14 days
4. <= 12 runners

As I say, this is a Place system

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Over 3 years.
WIN
884 bets/215 wins/Strike rate 24.32 %/LOT 20.93 %

PLACE
884 bets/496 places /Strike rate 56.11 %/LOT 13.69 %

1ST UP

122 bets /19 wins /win % 15.57 %/LOT 44.84 %

PLACE
122 bets /51 places /Strike rate 41.8 %/LOT 27.6 %

Cheers.

Sorry Chuck I tried that one 16 years ago but could not make a profit.Please keep trying as the" Holy Grail" is out for we mortals to find.

Cheers,
Ron.

Thanks Darky....I'll keep looking for a system!

It's amazing how a small sample can throw you out.
My own is based on 100 races and gave:

Win SR 28% LOT -25.1%
Place SR 71% POT 8.5%

There's a big difference in the Place strike rate in my sample and the historical data over 3 years.

Guys the Holy Grail is out there and being used by a select few that don't post on here

The more filters you have the less likely is a system to perform.

Cheers.
darky.

Thats the truth Darky.....less filters means less complicated...filters help us to cut down on the bets....i think 5 is plenty

Hi Gizzard!
The most important factor to look for when you checking past data is the possibility that there was an abnormally high win or place return! These have to be descarded if you want to have a realistic statistical result. Unless of course you are deliberately targeting long shots.
Cheers!
