Systems that had 40%SR O/A were producing results like 8 wins for 46 bets. So there may be something in the air.

If you're satisfied with "the journey itself" then you're a certainty to lose your hard earned on a regular basis. Take comfort that your hard earned is going into the bank accounts of those who can identify when the window of opportunity has presented itself and they've acted accordingly !!

3. manageable work load

nearly there on 1 and 2 - this year will be the test.

And here you have described what the HG is to you. With 1200 selections per month are they computer generated system bets or do they have human modification before the bet is made.

Just curious.

I was down 9k for January alone - but got it all back today.
tomorrow ? who knows?


so far - so good.
