LG has asked me for my reasons for using Systems. What he has actually done is to answer my question with a question. Good tactic.

And, respect to LG who has followed many of my posts closely because at times, I may have confused him with my answers.

Let's just say I have always had an interest in systems. It comes and it goes. When I cam in here a few months ago I was full of hope and some confidence that a little system I had been tweaking was showing some promise.

A search of my posts will show this to be true. It was working well for about five or so months. Then I opened my big fat mouth and put some selections on here and then things went A up.

I then followed with interests many threads and tweaked the system to see if I could reverse the downward trend. Unfortunately to no avail. However, the advantage was, I was doing no real harm to myself because I was only using Sportsbet and they allow a minimum bet of ten cents.

I prefer to use real money then monopoly money. Then it occured to me to see if I could out perform the system bet. While the system was failing badly, my personal selections were going ok even though in races I thought my system pick was a great chance and I selected a saver, I was finding my saver was well and truly outperforming my system.

It was almost like, select a system horse or horses and then forget them and select around them.

This is why possibly some of my posts appear to have made no sense and it might have looked like I was always all over the place.

However, to me, the beauty of System betting is that it still gives me an interest for very little outlay and fortunately I am happy with the eentertainment I get from it.

Random selections, require a lot more discipline and a rush of overconfidence, when the tide is going out can cause some serious damage.

So, to me, Systems have a place. While I would like to say I am successful at it, I cannot, at least, my losses are minimal.
