"So
what makes you blokes such experts?"
Well
we're not really and I would certainly never lay claim to
that title!
This
site stemmed from my love of racing and the good and honest
genuine people that work in the industry - some of whom,
from jockeys and trainers to race callers, have been life
long friends and people that I admire for their skills and
their shared love of the game.
The
site also started because I was sick of hearing about the
white shoe brigade from the Gold Coast flogging off ridiculously
priced computer based "ratings blockbuster programmes"
that would make everyone rich and we'd all never have to
work again (not to mention we'd all drive a Rolls Royce
and be accompanied by stunning looking partners)!
I
simply could not believe how many people fell in to these
schemes AND STILL ARE! If you are one of them I am so sorry
for you.
So
we began the site many years ago with the idea of harnessing
some collective knowledge and devising methodologies that
actually did work in the long term - either by returning
a small but attainable profit on turnover or certainly minimising
losses on those INEVITABLE losing days.
Now
I am not a big punter - in fact I am quite a small punter
by most measures. I did give it a big go for a short while
in the 80s with (to me) quite dramatic wins of large proportions
only to be followed by even "dramaticer" losses.
Of course (sighs). A bookmaker once said to me after the
last in the Members Bar - "Peter, you're a great
punter. It's such a shame you're a shocking gambler."
Those words of wisdom keep ringing in my ears and keep me
on the straight and narrow path of conservative gambling
(which I do enjoy).
So
over the years this site has tested and put together some
interesting methodologies based on different angles of form
analysis that may return you a small profit or loss, or,
indeed on good days where the gambling gods smile upon you,
very good profits.
I
have become convinced over the years that the only result
to really focus on is the year to year result - the ups
and downs of daily punting are completely inconsequential
to the overall yearly return. And in that year to year period,
I firmly believe that as little as 30 to 40 bets will make
the difference between a winning year and a losing year.
All
the tested methodologies on this site are accompanied by
betting workouts that took place in real time and are accurately
and factually recorded. Now I keep repeating myself on this
site I know, but this IS IMPORTANT. Had these test periods
began a day earlier or a day later the whole results MUST
have been different because a different series of chance
and "randomness" would have been in play and they
may or may not have achieved the same result or a better
or worse result. There is NO WAY OF KNOWING.
"So
why don't you stick with the one system?"
Like
a lot of things in life, I find the excitement is in the
chase more than the prize. My passion is for developing
and testing these methodologies, always looking I guess
for the holy grail which I know deep in my heart does not
exist (lol) but I keep trialling these things in the hope
that one day that magic spark of genius will fall from the
skies and tap me on the shoulder. Hey, different strokes
for different folks - isn't that what they say?
"So
won't your divvies be reduced by more people backing them?"
The
small amount I wager would never be affected by that. I
would have to distribute a thousand copies to make any difference
at all in this day and age.
"So
why don't you just give these systems away?"
I have to eat as well! These all took time to develop and
test (at the time of writing this we are currently trialling
4 different angles) and there is no point trialling them
with pretend money because that is neither accurate nor
fair.
But
we DO distribute the methodologies at a price that is not
stupid and at the very worst will simply get punters actually
THINKING about how they arrive at the selections they do
and what they are trying to achieve from their gambling.
At
the end of the day, no one values anything that is nothing
but I hope you will consider the next few lines as valuable
because I believe they are:
Winning
on a day out at the races is exciting!
Winning
consistently at the races is time consuming, repetitive,
tedious, stressful, and, at times, downright boring. Here
is a formula you should commit to memory: E=R=L
It stands for: Excitement = Risk = Losing
Read that over to yourself a few times - it is the most
valuable thing I can give you free and without obligation
in the hope that it helps you in your punting endeavours.
That formula was given to me by a very wise man who never
graduated high school and was without doubt the smartest
guy I have ever met.
"So
your methods are the be all and end all?"
I would never suggest that is the case.
If you are using a winning method, stick to it.
There are many methods by which it is possible to "turn
a quid". I simply test different ideas, TRY TO IMPROVE
THEM and analyse and report on them.
Use what you wish and throw the rest away. If you love racing
as much as I do it doesn't really matter whether you win
or lose - though I can assure you, winning is much more
fun!
