Hey guys havn't been on here in ages..
But i just thought i would chuck this system up that i put together using the DFS computers at the TAB

* Must be fourth up from spell(not sure what the computer judges a spell as)
* Must have finished out of placings in all 3 starts this prep
* Must have had at least 7 career starts
* Must have had a minimum of 2 career placings
* Must be in the top 5 for average prizemoney per race.
* Field size is must be at least 7 horses prior to scratchings.

This system is obviously aimed at picking up double figure overs playing off the tab sheets only showing last 3 starts. The rule regarding prizemoney is in there to strike out the donkeys that wouldnt do anything 1st 2nd or any-up.
If anyone could check this system on their records it would be much appreciated.
Made a profit on Saturday and broke even Sunday, today had 5 selections for a very profitable result.

Darwin Race 3 #7, Won paying $8
Moe Race 5 #6, Won paying $22
Cessnock Race 3 #2 Ran 3rd paying $27 for the win
" " Race 6 #12 Ran like a donkey $22 for the win
Forbes Race 4 #8 Ran 2nd paying $8 the win.

I'm guessing it would be hard to be profitable with any system betting with the tab, so i'm guessing with a long shots system that betfair would be preferable.

Actually not a bad system and I really like most of it [especially 4th up], but it has an odd point that doesn't seem to line up. 7 starts min, with 2 career placings? How does that get the horse into the top 5 average prize-money earnings unless it's running at Hanging Rock or another very low class field of chaff bandits?

Might be good to put on a price max. But geez, at the prices coming up it would have to be $25/$30?

The plan can work well,

especially if one adds the rule...

10 runners exactly.

This increases its SR & reduces the run of outs.

Cheers.

I like the system but i would blackbook them so if they didn't win today you could follow them, if you include a min win % that would also rule out donkeys

Yeh i would scrap the 2 placings thing and just stick with the 7 starts.
The win% is a fair idea but I think one of the winners was a 10 year old, who was just majorly down in class and obviously needed the three runs.

Only picked up 3 selections tommorow and possibly only two runners.
Wodonga Race 5 #2
Ballarat Race 7 310
Townsville Race 8 #11

Might be worth following the system as is for awhile unless someone can do the stats. for the last year. Nice results so far!

So stix those figures are only for fields of 7 or less???
Do you have any results for larger field sizes? And judging by your records it looks as if this system may be better for place betting.
Was just wondering if maybe the top 5 in prizemoney limits the selections slightly. For example it might not be worthwhile having the 5th highest av prizemoney horse in an 8 horse field, also the 6th higest av prizemoney horse in say a 14 horse field might yield a profit.
Would there be much change if the rule was changed to must have a higher av prizemoney than the average for the field??

Also stix, when you say metro only, would that just be for example say Flemington, Caulfield, the Valley, Sandown etc. Perhaps at smaller type tracks this system could be more profitable as the form is analysed less...
