For a while there I thought I was going to get a clean sweep. Did not lay a winner until PM6, then laid 3 in a row. All in all a very pleasing day.

A repeat of yesterday would be nice.

On the other hand, a terrible day would finish it off.
This is far too volatile for me.

Yes, a few too many 'accidents' there Mark. Couldn't follow them all myself because of various restraints and was able to come out ahead in actual fact --- so thanks for that.

Actually it took me some time to work out exactly what you were doing (I'm pretty slow!); but once I got the hang of it I did O.K..

The idea is good --- the picks for winners were the weak part. According to my additions you only came up with the winner in your picks 10/76 times. Or, more accurately, 10/30 races. If you were able to improve on that wouldn't the return necessarily improve?

Another way of expressing this would be to say that in 20/30 races a horse outside the 'picks' came home. Presumably, most all of these have come from the group "not in the picks but below $10.00" which are what you were relying on. Improvement has to come there. The idea is O.K. the implementation of it is failing, don't you think :confused:

Thanks for all the work done!

A very poor day by anyone's standards.
Will give it another go today.

Mark,

Can I suggest that laying is a different technical propect than backing.
Too many people place too much importance on the horse rather than the price.

For example: If I lay a horse @ $3.00 and I could have had $2.40 about it, then suddenly price plays more of a role.

I know you have a price cut off and don't like leaving bets "in the wind" but you might benefit by setting your own price rather than having to take what's offered.

You may only get matched on half the horses, but your profit might double.

Small profit today, but this is still not ideal.
Out of 20 races I had the winner in 16 of them so the risk reward ratio is out somewhere.

If you believe in patterns, then today should be a loser.

So much for patterns.
Today was FAT. The type of day that I was hoping this system was capable of.
