Might be worth reading back through the "An Old Boy I Know Swears This Makes Money" thread in the Systems section of this forum, as the success of that particular system seems entirely dependent on at least one favourite going in per day.
Just trace back to the last date in that thread on which the theoretical bank there took a £2500 decrement.

The same poster put the identical query on the Betfair forum a couple of days ago. I feel a Martingale coming on.
There was a day 2 years ago at Yarmouth and i think lingfield (cannot remember date sorry) where one never won as was doing a favourite system at time and very luckily had missed this day! though did loose my profits not long after with a run of 13 non winning favourites on a very gloomy saturday back in last winter.
Not 1 days racing in 2007,2008 and 2009 that didn’t have a winning favourite
The worst day for Favs was recently, the 4th of Jan 2009, with only 1 winning Fav, granted only Southwell was racing that day. The best was 27th Aug 07 with 21 winning Favs that day.
I’ll do pre 2007 when I get a chance.
I was laying horses on I think it was boxing day or maybe the day after. I dont think any won on that day. (2008) 18 races
15 favs and 2 joint favs won on Boxing Day 2008 alastair

Nice to see you were paying attention over the festive period, Alistair. Although, given your admission that you thought no favourites won on one of the two days mentioned, are you now sure that you didn’t lose a packet?
Are there any particular courses where no winning favourites are a regular occurrence, CR, or are you only able to analyse on a general basis?
Last post Equi……..always been fun having a crack/disagreement with you and Friggo so I wanted to say goodbye……be retiring if Binny wins anyway
Good luck and tell all the guys to be good!Miss you all

Just did 2004,2005,2006
In these 3 years just 3 days where no fav or joint fav won.
The dates are
8/3/2005…..Exeter and Southwell…..13 races
9/3/2005…..Bangor, Catterick and Fontwell…..20 races
28/12/2005…..Wolves…..6 races (Banded Card)So thats only 3 days in 1850 over the last 5 and a bit yeras (99.38% strike rate) where no fav or joint fav won. Would Colins mate have been knocked out by the 13 or 20 race sequence?
Good luck and tell all the guys to be good!
