    Nice to see you are around MrE and obviously on good form.

    I must admit I did get a bit down in the dumps a few weeks ago as things were not panning out. I am glad I persisted.

    Do pop in more often MrE.

    Regards – Matron<br>:cool:

    Matron,<br>Thanx for the explanation of your approach – there are three things I like about it (and these are the three things I personally look for in any systematic approach):<br>- its simple to implement and minimises emotional input<br>- its based on sound logical thinking<br>- it works!<br>MrE was right, well done on the record thread length and glad to see your continuing.

    Thanks tttracing.

    I am afraid it is never going to make vast amounts of money, but quite often if you can get early prices on the "exchanges" the figures are more healthy. The main criteria is to try and keep the "strike rate" up so the "rolling doubles" can come into play.

    It is simple to operate and I’m sure you could probably utilize any other newspaper and the figures would be similar. I like to check with "odds checker" as obviously the newspaper forecast odds have most probably been compiled the night or or even the day before.

    Regards – Matron<br>:cool:

    I wonder if you have ever used a computer form book or data bank to check out the stats? (like RSB or raceform etc)<br>With RSB you could look at favourites partnered by a top ten jockey/trainer for the course, that kind of thing – I would run it except my RSB is a) out of data and b) not working properly – maybe another viewer of this thread could run the stats?<br>MrE? carl? paul66?

    I am afraid I don’t have RSB.

    I am sure you could modify the system to your own criteria. I know one person that has altered it to include two or three selections a day from each meeting and does quite well. Like yesterday – Rhinestone Cowboy and Azertyuiop – were just shouting at me "rolling double"!

    The main thing to me is to try and keep it simple: sometimes delving into more stats can cloud your thinking as I have found to my cost in the past.

    You should have had your Horlicks hours ago and been fast asleep at your age!

    Well spring is on its way, so you should be spreading your wings soon.
