Mates and I get on the grog after basketball and have had a lot of success backing "5's under 5's",,,that is box 5 under $6....usually indicates smarter ****** punters have spotted a good beginner that wont be disadvantaged out of the squeeze box.
You're right the drunk/mug dough hammers the 1 box irrespective of the ******'s box speed.
We always throw 5 under 5's into first fours..best exotic bet ever given only 8 runners...and pay really good divs.

You learn to take the good with the bad...EI, shin soreness, rashes, etc, etc.
Racing (owning, punting and training) is better than all the philosophies and religions when it comes to coping with everyday life. You develop a fatalism to cope with the bad and develop an appetite for risk that when it pays off is well celebrated and recognised for the transient thing that it really is.
PS..thats not how I talk to my fellow syndicate members...they'd sack me on the spot.

Mick, it was a joke, it sounded like your syndicate was full of 2yo kids the way you worded it

Simple rules for punting success ?

1. Ignore coat-tuggers
2. Never buy into a race horse :-))
3. Know a track's good jockeys and trainers
4. Work out the difference between knowing when a horse is overs and when a horse is REALLY overs
5. Do the form on the horse and the trainer and work out when a horse is set for a race.
6. See "3"

Actually..I spotted that when I posted it but was too lazy to edit.
In rerospect though...my mate's responses after a 4th and 5th in our first horse's prep...the trainer told them to watch...they couldn't help themselves...on went the dough...and they responded like 2 year olds.
Might have been a Freudian typo!
