I have a copy of the method that BEAGLE is talking about in the ROYAL RIPSNORTER thread.

Unfortunately Management doesn,t allow me to post my hotmail address but I would be more than happy to pass it on to you.

Cheers.

I have another one for you.It's called the "All Factors System" Has anyone heard of this one. I have just dragged it out of the dungeon and wonder if anyone has had a go at it. It is probably 20 years old at least. It was a little to restricted for me to try out when I was a lot younger and a fair bit more gullible

Hi Dennis

I too am looking for the Royal Routine System.

I used this system in the mid 60's very successfully. I was an apprentice around 19 at the time and had built my bank from 5 pounds and was taking with me to the races up to 350 pounds (around half a years salary for a tradesman).

The Royal Routine I used was based on using multiple tipsters tips better than 3's and laying off long losing sequences to winning tipsters.

I can remember most of it and actually have it on excel to prove it, I am however missing the recommended initial staking levels and the calculations for the laying off of under performing tipsters.

If this is the system you're referring to then get in touch with me and we'll see what we can achieve.

Aw, cumon lads /gals we all know that the ONLY system that has stood the test of time is the one where you obtailn a license and consistantly make a book of around 115-118%, that's IT!

Yes I remember the Royal Routine from 50(?) years ago

Obtain as many tipsters selections as possible (12 +)
Have a column for each one
Add a set amount to be won to each after each race - 50c or $1 or ?
Your target in each column is the required profit plus losses for that column
If some columns are having a losing run some of their target can be distributed among winning ones

You will usually be betting a few horses each race so the target amounts for each horse are added and bets placed according to odds

It was also reccommended that only horses at 2/1 ($3.00) or more be bet to reduce the outlays

I had fun with this in my mispent youth but bets can build up BEWARE

I don't think I would use it in this day and age

I remember this system also, I managed to lay my hands on it sometime during the 70's (I had my first bet in 1969, still remember the bet). When I come by this system I showed it to a work colleague and a good mate of mine, whom was a mad punter. He used to attend every randwick meeting as he lived just down the road from there. He read the system and said to me, mate, if you were to try and work this system you'd need at least a team of about ten blokes working for you, all running around the betting ring with a clipboard full of races. You'd either get kicked off the course or arrested for making a public nuisance of yourself.

Ahhh, the good old days.

This is being sold on ebay by a well known peddlar, just renamed.

As a similar ratings method, there also used to be another little gem.

Get as many tipsters as possible.

3 points for a win selection
2 points for a second selection
1 point for a third selection.

Add up the total points for each runner.

Add this to the prepost price converted to chance of winning.

This gives you a new market.

Reframe the market and back the overs.

I don't think it has legs though.

Tony Meany. Is he still around? My friend's dad used to go to the Saturday metro meetings each week and come back with $300. Never failed. This was late 70's, early 80's.

Sometimes he would be back by 1.00pm. Must have won on the first race.

His number one tipster that he used was Meany. On some days he would back the hot jockey. He would bet until he won 300. That was it. He was very disciplined. His son told me there was wads of cash all over the place, stuck up socks in bags, etc.

He would lose about 3 ir 4 times a year. One time he came back at about 6pm. Ray and me were having a beer in the lounge room. You could hear this booming angry voice from the kitchen "Who !@#$% left the cozy off the !@#$% teapot?!!!"

Apparently he lost big that day.

Amen to that Party!
