    Although I am totally supportive
    of the ability to lay horses on
    exchanges and use this facility regularly.
    I find it a tad wearisome and worrisome
    to see people formulating laying systems.
    Layman etc. in the past.
    To me it’s fine as a private study
    but to poblicise it openly seems
    contra the spirit of this place
    and gives the wrong message.

    Although I am seen as a liberal
    on here, I never bathe naked and
    dont expect to see others doing it.

    Surely if people feel it is beneficial to them to share their workings and are not in any way spamming or causing a nuisance, there is no harm in publishing their thoughts?

    I agree with you in some ways but overall, i feel forums such as this are designed to cater to anyone interested in the sport we all love. The fact we all disagree so much is what makes it fun.

    If your not interested – just ignore.

    Well thats my attitude anyway!

    I will gladly share my short-priced lays to anyone who wants almost certain winners.

    Until that "almost" is removed from your above sentence I’ll stick to my own gambling methods!

    If people want a pat on the back
    snd feel the desperate need
    to wash their dirty systems
    in public, at least turn
    the place into a private bath house,
    so all the naked backslapping
    is not exposed to public view.

    Cormack that’s one for you to consider.

    You are normally the purveyor of sweet succulent greengages Gamble, but this decade it would appear you have little other than bitter hard sloes for sale: okay when steeped in gin but unpleasant otherwise.

    It may be cold outside and the muddy green may be a hard white but this January – like all others before – sees the clouds of an old tired year lifted and the droning Drone buzzes with wide-eyed expectation

    The peace-of-mind bell curve climbs rapidly to its zenith just before the last knockings of the first quartile: then swat

    Yours not it seems :?:

    Heck even odds, tables, chances and tissues raise a smile as I watch Gingermark ploughing his long but perfectly ridged furrow over and off the edge of the world, leaving the confused and hysterical buried beneath his mole-board

    As for systems: backandlay I do not understand why anyone wishes to publicise them if they believe they have merit; logic suggests success in that field necessitates the utmost privacy, for my eyes only

    Dirty or clean, pats and backslaps are what many who inhabit message-boards crave

    Preferably from behind a cloak of anonymity, perversely

    Lay lay, play play, pay pay
    :? :)

    good one Drone , it seems those eggs Gamble came across in London were scrambled a bit too much ….still we all plough on , as for Ginger and the system , it did take some time for me to appreciate him , but I do now , he gives his wisdom freely and trys to help , albeit guys like me are left way behind in the mists of the algebra involved

    Gamble I hope you reply in spades !!!!

    Drone yes the time of year
    signifies hibernation
    I have made my point and will
    not labour it and as I seem to
    have the perverse view
    and my rant has disturbed
    but a few leaves on a largely
    sleeping forum I will take Ricky’s
    advice and use my spade
    and quickly bury this :(

    6000 men went to mow
    went to mow a meadow.
    The blade of grass left
    kicked the lot of them
    as they went down pub

    Your points regarding the negative connotations and possible counter-productivity of publicising ‘lay’ systems are understood G if not wholly agreed with; it’s a bugbear of yours, so be it and in all likelihood is a credible bugbear.

    Should races be discussed at all in public? The posters on here who rarely, if ever, discuss the nuts and bolts of ‘who’s gonna win’ ‘I gotta horse’ are notable doncha agree? :wink:

    Your posts have always had a little of the darkside about them but until recently the darkness was that of a rich plain Belgian chocolate accompanied by an Italian espresso.

    Has your puce flock wallpaper been covered with matt-black emulsion perchance?

    Or were you gifted a little Black Dog for Christmas?

    You sleep well old sheep

    This forum doesn’t slumber but is prone to spluttering snores from time to time
    :? :)

    I appreciate you being my crutch in
    this rather unthought out area
    of laying systems.

    I have absolutely no problem
    about discussions about winners
    or even suggestions that a horse
    may under achieve for whatever reasons,
    but to come up with a method for
    finding losers should only be done in private
    or on a private forum in my opinion,
    as it negates the spirit of racing horses
    which is to try to win.

    I received a small number of cards at Xmas
    and I placed the better ones,
    in order of my favouritism,
    in a systematic row on the window sill.
    ( never done this before
    and rarely look much at them :mrgreen:)

    The winner was a flat white landscape
    with a path edged by bare trees and with
    discreet coloured lights placed in the branches.
    The path was wide at the front and narrowed
    into the distance. Glitter formed under the trees
    which to me took on the appearance of ice.

    The words were

    Wishing you a wonderful Christmas
    etched in the snow.

    By all accounts I am in dire
    need of a holiday :|
