Hi Mattio,

A very interesting observation!

I have looked at my data base I am slowly putting together with the last start winners and a large number of losers from my final contenders have already won >4 races. I will certainly take note of this rule in future. Thanks!

No problems mate, glad I could be of help.

Cheers,

Matt.

Thank you beton. I believe you have answered my quandary.
Incidentally, I looked up the Peter Principle which led me to systemantics which has a law that says the more complicated a system the more it is likely to fail, and this may be relevant to us system punters.

Totally relevant and of course true.
The only systems that work longterm are those with sensible and clear rules, and they win because they stand the test of time based on only a few rules.
The rest work for a window of time, and fall over big time.

After years of system investigation, I can spot a good one and of course a dud one usually without having to refer to a database.

I don't suppose you can let us know of a good one that can be set up on a bot by any chance?

Couldn't agree there gunny. Darkydog is giving us some real gems and they are pretty complicated.
