Good God why not offer this up for a plot in Eastenders or Corrie?

Hi Billion
It could be argued that all systems are daft, the evidence that bookies love em.
One of the daftest or should I say fun systems is the one you mentioned in your first post by Swimbo.
This sounds like
The Coincidence System
or as I like to call it
The Agnes Haddock System
You may remember that this was the system that won Agnes the Scoop 6 a few years back.
Try this thread form 2009
https://theracingforum.co.uk/horse-r … 4&#p285944
where I posted Agnes style selections for amusement and finished the day in profit after finding a 16/1 winner.
Blimey
Just found this old offering from 2007. Agnes must have won the Scoop 6 more years ago than I remember. Funny how time seems to go quicker the older you get.
Anyway the thread looks a bit of mess for some reason but it was another day of Agnes style selections that produced another profitable day. Think I ought to start marketing it with some nice internet style sales speak.

Let us be truly honest and admit this is a hard sport to make any profit from.
I admit there are those who claim after years of study etc. it is possible and in fact they do make a profit.
As for the vast majority of us, well, we can dream but we love the sport and the fun we get from it and there is no harm in that.
The harder I try the harder it gets.
And then there is "Agnes"!
She has proved the fun bets can sometimes pay off. How many times have we said things like "it is a pin stickers race" etc.
No matter how daft or silly a system can be it is possible there is a place for it
but at small stakes
.
Enjoy the game and have fun.

RED SOMERSET won at 6/5 a much better price than I thought.
Now there are daft systems and then there are really daft systems (this could be where I end up with even more egg on my face) but tomorrow (Saturday) there is a selection.
RED STAR LADY 1.50 Kempton.
4th in the S/L forecast but none of the runners have raced before. Maybe, I thought this could be an e/w pick but I hope I don’t look even more stupid than I already am but I will let this one pass.

This thread reminds me of my ex partner. She liked backing horses where the jockey was wearing purple silks.
I took her to Newmarket 4 times one flat season and I think she made just over £1,000 in those 4 visits backing her lucky colour. That was in the days when Persian Punch was racing.
Another favourite with women was men’s names. I had been at Newmarket a month before Champions day when Milk it Mick won, my ex waved her 25/1 betting slip at me and all around I could hear women on their phones telling whoever that they had won.
One was saying "Oh Mick I backed it cause it is your name"
Another was saying something about the Milkman !!
Anyway a month later my friend Paul who backs horses based on his form analysis took a number of family and friends to Champions day, hired Limo’s to take them there, an expensive day out.
One of the wives telephoned my ex partner on the way there and said " have you got a tip for us" she replied that they should back Milk it Mick in the Dewhurst, she already had her £2 each way on at 40/1.
My friend said after the day that he felt like giving up. Milk it Mick won at an SP of 25/1 and "Just James" had won also, he exprienced the same as I had a month earlier listening to all the women on their phones, animated because they had won backing mens names.
So Purple silks or Mens names could be the way forward..
Smashing story
Threenaps
and I do think the lady on the telly had just won the Scoop6 doing much about the same.
It is sad to admit there is just about as much chance of finding a good winner when having an odd flutter at small stakes via such methods as studying form.
