Just a quick note to let those that have given advice I have taken on board whats been said & also continued to read various articles, posts & info to help get my knowledge up. It certainly has been an interesting few weeks & I'm loving the whole learning experience. One thing I've put to good use is the mantra of watching as much racing as you can stomach. Yesterday was the best day I've had yet. Using my systems to highlight potential selections I found if I coupled that info with watching & re-watching replays of as many runners in the fields as I could get a hold of the myst began to clear a little & I saw a few little gems in the basket I snatched up.
After 17 selections I'm running at 29% strike rate with 5 winners & a WPOT of 42%
Excitingly (Or maybe not if I were hanging my hat on systems selections only) 3 of my runners were selections I chose from watching replays & they actually went against my selections. Having said that, using that setup got me heart stoppingly close to 2 trifectas which missed by one place on both accounts. The divis were huge & I'm not at all dissapointed that I lost but more excited about how close I was to getting it right. That for me says oodles for my learning curve.
Thanks for your input & advice, its helped get me level headed about my approach & more importantly is helping me to move away from mug punter status & into educated punter ranks. I feel good about that.
Cheers
(PS - no need to worry about my head getting too big just yet folks, I know I'll be sure to get knocked down a peg or two sooner rather than later ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif) )
