Makes you think we should be at least aiming for a return resembling bank interest i.e. retain the capital and a marginal return on funds. Would be an impossible dream for 95%+ of us, me thinks.

Old time Chinese proverb. "A fool and his money are soon parted"

...Whether it be with system or without.

I did not listen to this race, but what "system" would have picked it ?

2013/7/17/
VR/4
Werribee

Distance: 1400M
Weather: Fine
Track: Heavy

10:UNE MOMENTO-
WON PAID: W.45.50 P.6.80 (TATTS)
TF 10* 12* 14 $2255.80
barrier:7
Weight:56.5
L3S:48X
RATED:81
RIDER; J DAROSE

That race more than likely would have had a jackpot Trifecta if it was not for this stupid partial Trifecta bet thing they have.

But someone got it.

The only "system" I see is heavy track, barrier 7, 1400 M
putting heavy emphasis on the heavy track and barrier 7,

fav was showing 1.50

What "system" gets these?
None that I know of.

The big advantage the punter has over the bookie is that he doesn't have to bet on every race.
In the race you mention, most sensible systems would not have had a selection in this race for two reasons-

(1) Odds on look on
(2) Don't back a system horse if there is an odds on shot in the race

Therefore we didn't win but importantly we came out square

The back the Italian named horse and extra if the jockey also has an Italian sounding name system (my background is partial Italian). :D

The returning fresh from a spell system! I never Lay a horse returning from a spell, they get up all the time at big prices, just ask Speedy? He backs them all the time.

Point taken but after tax, inflation and falling rates, will there be much of a real return left, if any??

There is a better alternative I feel which has a good chance of preserving his capital over a period and gives him a stable return* Better on the tax side too. Won't mention it here for fear of being burned at the stake and also because I am not an investment advisor.

* it feeds off the misfortune of others however but isn't this what we are trying to do here = win on the punt?!
