Free Horse Racing Betting Systems

Imagine you've worked out a horseracing system that does the following:

1. Has made a profit at starting price from more than 100 selections over the last 12 months.

2. Operates in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane on Saturdays.

3. Selections are automatically made by following your rules. No choice, judgement or opinion is involved.

Now imagine that we sell racing systems and offer you the chance of sending your racing system to us for free to see if we will publish it on our website. Would you do that?

Consider this analogy.

Imagine a wealthy stable has set a horse for a first up plunge. Can you imagine the trainer contacting a bookmaker on the morning of the race and saying, "We've set it for a first up win in the third at Randwick. We'll have $100,000 the win on it at top fluctuation odds." Of course that wouldn't happen.

Similarly, why would anyone send their winning horse racing system to any business that sells horse racing systems? Why give that business a free look at a method that has won over 12 months? If that business used your ideas, maybe with a few minor changes and then sold it as their system, what recourse would you have?

We are very sceptical about the long term success of horse racing systems. We do know that if a horse racing system is published or sold to hundreds, even thousands of tote punters, that it stands to reason that the odds will be affected on the tote. What may have been a successful method up till that time will then become a losing method until at least plenty of those tote punters stop backing the selections.

However racing systems can be very useful for the selections they generate when combined with serious form analysis. We make use of a large number of our own, non-published systems, for some of our members' selections. But these selections are put through some thorough form analysis and as a result many of the system selections are then rejected.
