I’m monitoring it closely TDK to ensure it doesn’t go beyond what I initially viewed it as whixh was a lighthearted interlude, which, if I may say, it has proven!
Harmless stuff I think and plenty interest in it so hopefully not a problem for anyone.
It’s true. Bookies know the results of all races in advance. Unfortunately, I entered the wrong PIN number into my decoding gizmo prior to Paddy Power Gold Cup day and knocked out seven grand.
The opening page includes the expression "deliver-up".<br>This grates, Why not just "deliver" ?<br>I hope the author has a better grasp of betting than he has of grammar.
Hi
Bookies worst nightmare.
Insider information that catches fire.

Of course like all conspiracies they can never be proved to have happened until after the event, thereby can never be fully disproved.
I would suggest that the Author uses his once in a lifetime opportunity to work this system in real time, on here and post up all of the winners before the races actually run, using the code.
What could be fairer ?
It appears that racing ‘inside information’ spillage has ruffled bookmaking cartel feathers. The author is reliably informed that cormack15 is not the only one ‘monitoring it closely’.
Always truthfully sticking to the verifiable facts…
Betting odds futures (very similar to stock market futures) are released, traded upon (from forecast to ‘showcast’) and then closed (SP).<br>…and repeated…<br>…and repeated…<br>…and repeated…<br>With only a very small and well-recognised set of betting odds available this repetition is a difficult mathematical problem for odds compilers to resolve (e-page 140). In fact, there is no mathematically pure solution. The problem is further compounded when a bookmaker then necessarily inserts his marketing hedge. On the back of the data processing revolution, and emulating the late 1980s move to stock market digital processing, top British bookmakers quickly realised that they could precisely control the betting marketplace. Just ask the Hong Kong Jockey Club:
http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/10.03/betting.html
When monopolistic regulations kick in, cartels are often formed in order to maximise profit potentials as the business pages regularly trumpet. However, on occasion, a given cartel will become so successful and powerful that it believes itself to be, as a collective, near omnipotent. This has already happened in British racing and English Premiership football – we are too late!
However, this is not a finger point at any particular individual, because a cartel can only operate at near omnipotent levels in secrecy. Cartels come and go and even reform, Betting Code disclosure will only rapidly hasten this process as the profit dent to operating in a spotlight sinks in. Big corporations and many smaller companies are not stupid. As moves are already afoot by some cartel members to gently slip into less heavily regulated European markets.
Nevertheless, the cartel’s barefaced corruption cannot continue as it has done. No one, not even the Betting Code author wants to see a betting marketplace collapse. Over 200,000 people are employed by, or would be directly affected by gross market instability. Which is why the author is assisting non-cartel ‘connections’ in the development of their own betting codebreaking teams in an attempt to realign or balance the betting marketplace. Some are actually applying their new codebreaking skills (one even more elegant than the ‘wired’ model above) in the American betting marketplace, which is hugely less sophisticated than the British model (this subject is expanded in the American edition of the Betting Code – in preparation). Hopefully, the entrepreneurial temptation will bring more such ‘connections’ forward.
The Code Table Challenge (e-page 176) was set as an entry-level test for competent betting codebreakers, as codebreaking teams necessarily operate in extreme secrecy, code chiefs are crying out for new members. As you would imagine, the Racing Post is not going to accept adverts readily highlighting its shortcomings.
To answer dave jay’s Dec. 3 post, 1:12pm. No Betting Code codebreaking team is happy with the author’s disclosures on TRF, and he is only authorised to go so far by client confidentiality and necessary cryptographic considerations already outlined. That said, of course TRF members must be given a treat in ‘real time’. This forum will be given plaintext (decoded) information that can be readily played within a workable timeframe. Members will be astounded. Much though has gone into the practicalities of delivering said plaintext ‘keys’, and a working knowledge of the book is of course helpful but will not be strictly necessary either.
A number of forum members have privately asked for more information, some of which is already in the book and was obviously skimmed over. Do be patient and allow a week or two for members to familiarise themselves with the decryption matrix (e-pages 293-294). The cartel is sitting tight and is not going anywhere.
It is the author’s intention to try and make one posting per day until interest in the topic wanes. If sufficient interest were generated on betting decryption perhaps cormak15 would consider a dedicated TRF nook. And there are no objections to a chatroom session. However, both points must first get clearance from cormack15.
Please keep privately emailed questions short or the author will soon be unable to give more than a passing acknowledgement.
Alan Ridley<br>Author<br>
You’ve made my weekend Alan Ridley thank you. And I thought things were bad being me……..
I’ll second that – it’s certainly brought a grin to my face!
Then again, I am initiated in the handshake……:biggrin:
Alan,
The article about the Hong Kong syndicate tells us that it is possible to make money from betting using sophisticated computer models. These models use statistical methods to analyse form and the market(weight of money for each horse). They do not have any prior knowledge of what is trying to win and what may not be ‘doing its best’.
I haven’t read any of the ebook because, to be frank, it would be a waste of time. The thesis that certain people are controlling racing and disseminating results by code is so preposterous as to be dismissed out of hand.
If someone were to produce a weighty volume explaining why they thought the moon was made of green cheese, I wouldn’t even read one word of it, even out of curiosity. Why would you?
I don’t know what your game is, nor do I care, but I do hope cormack quickly draws a veil over this charade.
You know, come to think of it, our Mr. Ridley might just be on to something. But I don’t think his suspicions are merely confined to the world of betting.
I got home from the pub lastnight to find my home had been gutted; what hadn’t been taken, had been broken and what hadn’t been broken…I’ll leave that to your imagination. Anyway, I immediately called the police, they came and had a look around and basically said there was no hope of recovering my belongings. Bugger, I thought. Then, in a Gil Grissom, CSI-esque moment, I whipped out my UV torch and luminol and, to my surprise, discovered that the burglar had kindly left me a clue as to his identity and whereabouts.
He’s now doing five years, being b*ggered from dawn to dusk my a 7ft powerlifter named Daisy.
It begs the question then, if you’re powers of deduction are as good as mine, why aren’t bookies and cartel members doing exactly the same?
Should such a proposterous notion be true, are we supposed to believe you’re the only cryptographer to have stumbled upon it? That bloke Dan Brown wrote about seemed pretty sh*t-hot to me, I’d have thought he’d have given it a crack at least.
This is all beginning to sound like a rather convoluted, extremist epsiode of Hustle to me; a mindless adaptation of the story of a wealthy addicted gambler who is convinced that certain races are fixed, only to do his danglies in the shape of £500k.
Being the ever-curious (or maybe info-poor is a more apt phrase, Mr. Ridley) person I am, I did a little Googling with regard to this so called Bookiegate Cartel you seem so intent on exposing. The statements made at the URL below should, by rights, have you locked up, but whether backed by hard copy or not, TRF should not be seen, in my view, to be showing any link with you whatsoever.

Nice try Mr Ridley but it won’t wash. You’re obviously a double agent placed here by the trilateral commission to discredit those trying to get out the real truth by associating them with mumbo-jumbo like this.
There really are shape-shifting lizards that facilitate race fixing, order extended satellite delays, ensure that racing in this country is steadily covered over in sand and held 14 horses at a time and engage in outrageous price fixing.
They do not, however, have the secret sytems of codes you refer to. Why would they need to when they get together every day to have a little drink (of punters’ blood) and discuss strategies. They do this in their top-secret hideout where they will never be dicovered – aka the middle of Kempton’s grandstand during live racing there.
Just when you think the award for the most far-fetched and badly written book with the word ‘code’ in the title is all sewn up, along comes a fast-finisher to scoop the prize. Can’t see Tom Hanks rushing to get a part in this one though.
Mr Ridley
It would appear that you are a glutton for ridicule as the general thrust of the responses to your interminable ‘Daily Corruption Reports’ that polluted several newsgroups 18 months or so ago would surely have caused a man less infatuated with the nonsensical to quietly disappear with tail between legs to ponder at some length the phrase ‘once bitten twice shy’.
In abandoning bonny Scotland to compose your masterwork amidst the beautiful people of California one can only assume you made the move in order to enhance the coffee-with-keyboard bashing sessions with supplements of peyote cactus buttons
Your words are not of this world
Corm, best thread in ages.
I’ve known all weekend I’ve lost the code. I had it for a month prior to that. And frankly I want it back.
I’ve sent out for gamble – all these logical types (ap, tdk, rory) just don’t cut the mustard when it comes to irrationality.
Let’s amass our own insane army – I suggest we start in the Systems underworld (where the logical types never wander), throw in a few of the lounge antagonists – racists and bigots only – and spice with the daily sandplay mugs, just for Glenn.
They don’t like it up ’em.

The Fallon Code
It’s all starting to make sense. I was hailing a cab outside David Icke’s house in Barking when I saw the headlines at a local newsstand: Keiran Fallon arrested. I started to think. What do you get if you spell Fallon backwards: NOLLAF. Hmm. What if you change the vowels round. NALLOF. Sounds a bit like ‘fall off’. But they are cleverer than that. Fallon rides only on the flat. So he wouldn’t ever ‘fall off.’ But maybe there are some letters missing from that sequence.
All the way home to my apartment in Cuckoo Terrace, I was thinking. I tried rearranging the letters, but nothing seemed to fit. Try as I might, I could not get the letters to say, ‘RACING IS BENT’.
It was only over breakfast the next morning, as I was flicking through my copy of the Daily Mail, that I had my Eureka moment. Fallon is Irish, it occurred to me. My intuitive mind immediately made the next link. He probably used to live in Ireland, I deduced. Thanks to my many years in the diplomatic corps, I knew that the Irish flag is green white and a sort of pale orange. Green is the colour of grass. Grass is eaten by cows. Cows, as every bookmaker knows, mate with bulls. Thanks to my many years as a rancher in Wyoming I happened to know that bulls, in order to expel excess food matter from their body, use a process known as defecation.
I put this theory to my young French assistant, Marie Clare over croissants in the café of the National Library. Her reply was the missing piece of the jigsaw I had been searching for.
“Your theory, Monsieur,â€ÂÂ
