Just thought i would put this up for the forum members to try.<br>Iwas thumbing through an old book, thats some 15 years old now.<br>It showed a system that uses handicap races to make selections, it also states that 62% of all handicap winners come from the top 3rd of the handicap.<br>So i thought i would give this system a try to see what profit it can make.<br>The rules to the system are as follows.
1.Only use handicap races at the principle meeting only.
2.Pick the top 3rd of the handicap to make selections from.<br>e.g 4-6 runners rate the top two<br> 7-9 runners rate the top three<br> 10-12 runners rate the top four<br> 13-15 runners rate the top five<br> 16-18 runners rate the top six<br> 19-21 runners rate the top seven<br> 22-24 runners rate the top eight<br> 25-27 runners rate the top nine<br> 28-30 ruuners rate the top ten, and so on depending on the number of runners.<br>award the following points for the last two placings, current season or last season it dosent matter.
1st=40 points<br>2nd=25 points<br>3rd=20 points<br>4th=10 points
Distance winner= 20 points
Course winner=10 points<br>If there is two or more runners with the same rating, pick the one with the highest race card number.<br> <br>Thats basically it, a little bit of work involved but should be well worth the while.<br>Ill use 1 point each/ way stakes on each bet, from a bank of 100 points.<br>By the way the two handicaps at Goodwood today<br>put up two bets<br>DUMARANA 4.15 WON at 14/1<br>JAWHARI 5.20 WON at 13/2
Fridays bets are as follows.<br>HAYDOCK<br>3.30 BEAUCHAMP PILOT rated 100
4.00 STRATUS rated 65
5.00PINCHBECK rated 40
1 point e/w = 6 points.
Catch you later<br>Daz.:cheesy:
Well Daz, not a bad start to your new system.
Fingers crossed for the future.
Keep up the good work.
Regards – Matron<br>:cool:
Thanks Robgomm and Matron for your support.;)
First day was a winning one with two selections from three, with all deductions the profit stands at 9.87 points. Not bad for first day.:) <br>With the 14/1 and 13/2 winners on thursday and the two today at 4/1 and 11/2 thats not a bad strike rate.<br>The two winners on thursday dont count, because the thread wasent posted until thursday evening. Which is a bit unfortunate.<br>The selections for saturday are from Haydock.There are four races today.
1.20 Haydock Bali royal- rated 40
1.50 Haydock Whitbarrow- rated 30
2.20 Haydock Eric le beau -rated 100
4.00 Haydock The butterwick kid-rated 45
All bets are at 1 point e/w = 8 points.
Catch you all later, be lucky.<br>Daz.:cheesy: <br>
HI Daz you certainly have had an explosive start with this one. A 10/1, 4/1 and a place at 5/1 isn’t too shabby for an eight point outlay! Plus of course the place money on the two winners.
Too bad I didn’t see it until early hours of Sunday I might have had a dabble myself.
Good luck this seems to have value built in as you are using handicaps – hence better prices.
Superb!! Well done Daz!
It pays to keep an eye on trends in handicaps. Having a win over the distance against your horses name is often vital. I’ve always preferred to follow 3yo+ handicaps because the 3yo only races consist of horses who were messed about with at 2.
After a while of testing this system, it might be wise to see how many of the winners/placed horses you’ve been successful with have had a recent run (within about 32 days).
Anyway, well done so far! Rob.
Thanks for your comments snowman@robgomm,
Snowman, you have missed some good winners over the past couple of days lets hope now your on the bets they dont all lose. But thats racing. Good luck and i hope i can make you a few bob cheers.:cheesy:
Robgomm, I wil keep an eye on the win and placed horses and also the number of days the horse last ran starting with todays selections.Thanks:)
The profit stands at 25.62 points not bad for two days.
WINDSOR.
3.30 BOLD RAIDER- RATED 90–16 days last run
4.45 SMIRK- RATED 50– 25 days last run
5.05 ROXANNE MILL- RATED 70– 8 days last run
Catch you all later <br>Daz.:cheesy:
Hey Daz, just occured to me that if you were using your two point outlay per selection to Win only, then your two day record would read 14 points outlayed – returns—— 55 points!!  That’s a profit of 41 points or a massive 293% on outlay!
I’m going to keep a note of how you go on win only and i’ll post occasionally for comparison with the each way bank.
BTW i’m with you on these 3 today hope it’s not the kiss of death!
Small loss today, bank stands at 21.62 points.<br>Snowman.<br>I to was pondering with the idea of using single win level stakes instead of e/w.<br>See how this week fares and i will consider going to level stakes win only.<br>Only one placed horse at 4/1 and two lost. Theres only two selections for leicester monday.<br>I will stick with the each way bets for monday to saturday,and see comparisons we have with win and each way.
LEICESTER.<br>4.00 APPROACHING STORM- RATED 65- 35 days last run.
5.30 RESEARCHER- RATED 60- 17 days last run.
Catch you all later, hopefully with a bit better result than today.
Daz.:cheesy:
Okey Dokey Daz. Well just for neatness sake before going into next week, a win only system on these selections but still to comparable stakes i.e. 2 pts win single per horse, would show a profit of 35 points so far as opposed to 21.62 pts on the e/w bank.
Will keep my eye on it and post after Wednesday.
Good luck for Monday Daz.
Only one placed horse today 11/4, bank stands now at 19.31 points, :o
Snowman, Iwill keep a check on class of race as well, because some of the wins this week have come from class D and upwards, maybe the racing at the begining of the week is a bit low class? maybe worth a look.<br>I think a 100 point bank will be enough to start proofing the bets on monday, with on average 3 selections per day, we may find enough winners at 2 points each bet = 50 bets.
Selections for tuesday 28th may.
3.45 LINGFIELD, MAJHOOL- RATED 20- 12 days last ran.
4.15 LINGFIELD, SHOLAY -RATED 85- 204 days last ran.
5.15 LINGFIELD, WHITE PLAINS – RATED 90 -29 days last ran.
Catch you all tomorrow. <br>Daz.:cheesy:
Hi snowman.<br>We was very unlucky with white plains, should have won. But a winner at 9/4 and a place cant grumble.<br>All three selections ended up favs, which dosent help the place part of the each way.Profit now at 19.63 points.:o
Selections for wednesday 29th may.<br>YARMOUTH<br>2.00 ASCARI – RATED 65- 12 days last ran.
3.30 NELLIE MELBA -RATED 60-23 days last ran.
4.30 AMIR ZAMAN -RATED 60 – 13 days last ran.
5.00 KANZWOOD -RATED 45- 30 days last ran.
Catch you later, good luck with these tomorrow snowman.<br>Daz.:cheesy:
<br>Already one winner today Daz!! Considering you found this in a book that’s about 15 years old, i would say this is the kind of system that has a decent chance of producing results over a long period of time.
Hi Daz – Well done!! You’ve got to be happy with that. Nellie Melba came with a wet sail when it was too late and I see Kanzwood got a place at a nice price for you.
Promised to update on win only bank after today and I will do it again after Saturday’s selections have run.
OK After today’s four runners a win only bank is showing 34 points staked & 69 points returned for a profit of 35 points. Still over 100% of outlay.
The e/w bank would have clawed some of the leeway back today – look forward to seeing the figures.
Catch you later Daz good luck for Thurs.:biggrin:
Daz,
This is looking really promising, just one question. How are you choosing which meeting is the principal meeting? I would have chosen Newbury this evening for today.
Keep up the good work.
cheers<br>matt
Hi everyone.<br>Another profitable day, one winner at 11/4 and two placed at 5/1 and 10/1.:) <br>Profit now stands at 22.57 points.:biggrin: Thanks for all your comments, the reason i used yarmouth for wednesdays selections was my own personal choice, the meeting should have been newbury.<br>Iwill post all the results for this system on saturday evening win and placed results. And total profit.<br>The selections for thursdays racing is from goodwood.
2.40 FASHIONABLE MAN- RATED 60- 12 days last ran.
3.10 FIRE DOME- RATED 85 -3 days last ran.
5.20 CASTLE RIVER -RATED – 40 -38 days last ran.
Good luck every one, catch you all later.<br>Daz.:cheesy:
