(Or how we lost $400
in the blink of an eye)
We thought we'd publish
this to share with you and graphically demonstrate that
we can all fall in to the same traps - if only we try
hard enough!
This system was going to
be called "Ruffies" - because it would have
been the only system the greyhounds could have asked
for themselves. (A joke Joyce) We liked that name. We
didn't go much on the outcome.
We thought our rules were
"different" but reasonably well thought out
on a lot of levels. This was to be the daddy of all
greyhound place betting systems. Here were the very
simple and straight forward rules.
Rule 1: The only dogs that
were to be considered were those that started at more
than $10.00 at their last start and either won or finished
less than 6 lengths from the winner
Rule 2: No emergencies
considered
Rule 3: If more than one
contender, the widest drawn dog is the selection
Well, like all "great"
systems it started like the proverbial train - our first
day of operation and investing our hard earned was January
25, 2007 through our Victorian TAB account as we were
comfortable to concentrate on Victorian greyhound meetings
because of the excellent free internet form guides that
are available.
What a day to start - on
the first day winners at $9.30, $20.40, $19.00, $42.30
and $20.40. Good Lord almighty, it's Christmas!!! And
remember, we were only looking for placed dogs - not
winning dogs. We had discovered the golden stairway
to heaven. Hmmmmm. We were only looking to make a modest
5 units at a time on our bank so this had to be the
best ever system for place betting on the dogs.
Everything progressed well
for the next 209 bets until the middle of February 2007
and then ------- well, you check it out on the workout
sheets and then cry for us too. (!!!!!)
