" Yes, you may lose on the race...but based on backing the next five runs of each runner for example, you would win."

What kind of logic is that - how can you win LT by placing losing bets???

This so-called stable system is a black book system, whereby you keep your blackbook up to date and current. 000's of people do it and still lose - because:

1. They select the wrong horses to follow.
2. Several of these horses are in the same race - so one is confused on which to back - betting on all results in a loss.
3. A horse is added to the black book (stable) after it has already peaked and is on the way down.
4. A horse runs a good race - say 4th or 5th, whereby it looked like it would have won given more ground - when it fact it was
a peak performance and made to look good by the pace of the race.
5. There horses are starting at short prices.
6. The blackbook or stable gets out of hand, ie you have too many horses in it and you don't know which to cull.

Most people have put together a "stable" will not win due to these factors, unless there initial selection process is sound and they are able to recognise when a horse is "under" or "overs" in the market.

The only "killing" going on is when you eliminate a horse from your stable and it comes out and wins.
