Intend to take a day off from posting or even a break. But I will say this: anyone can, truly, create the same system for themselves:
1) Decide on your minimum BOG price. I'm sticking strictly to 16/1 now, and I suggest you don't go under 14/1.
2) Set yourself a minimum target win SR of 5%. Of course if the winners were all under 19/1 you'd lose on them, but they come in at much bigger prices too. If you're hitting on 5% or even as low as 3% you should be well in profit, certainly on Betfair, and your place SR will automatically be bigger than your win SR. The combined win/place SR should see a very comfortable, even fab profit, without the stress of extreme low SR from win only.
3) Find yourself some system/ratings/tipster/whatever that will hit the win SR at your target minimum price. Frankly, I found that to be very easy.
4) Paper trade or trade at minimum stakes for some weeks as you build stakes up. You can start with a minimum 5p e/w on the singles, even online. As long as your total bet on all selections hits at least 50p you'll be okay.
5) I do the multiples at minimum stakes because even a win treble at 5p should return at least £500-£1000 at these prices. Don't expect to hit this more than once every 2 months though. It might do it once a month, I dunno, I've only showing 9 days results above.
5) Exhibit the patience of Job. Basically, have very little interest in whether any particular day is a winning one or not. What counts is your results over several days. The place SR should at the very least keep things ticking over.
On point 5 above, re multiples, I only do the win doubles and trebles at minimum stakes. If I get a huge win I'll probably do at least the 4folds as well.
All logical and good sense
But point 3 remains the issue
A Rating with say 5per cent strike rate overall may we have 0 per cent above16/1. and maybe 25 per cent strike rate below 5/1
Help!
No, no, no - a rating that hits 5% AT THE TARGET PRICE LEVEL. Easy to find.
Anyhow here's today's after all:
Thurles 13:35

EW 1/5 1,2,3 Paolozzi 50/1
Thurles 14:10

EW 1/5 1,2,3 A Toi Phil 25/1

EW 1/5 1,2,3,4 Finaghy Ayr 18/1
Ayr 15:05
Outright Betting
EW 1/5 1,2,3 Bulls Head 20/1
Really should only have done the first two and the last one, since prices on the others are below my minimum. But have done the 6 to give greater interest in the day.
Win singles only this time, plus win doubles and trebles at 1/5th singles stakes:
