Turn it on its side and you got a graphical representation of a roller-coaster, thanks to Mugget.

Lets try this on a chronic losing system, the Lay the favourite system ;)

Fav Lay

What if I stopped when I reached 60 points profit in a month?

No profit to be gained on that losing line, although the technique cut down the losses which can't be attributed to the earliest exit... but will it cut into the profits of a winning line? ]:)

where u get this favs info tightfisted? i thought august would be best month of year?

For backing, maybe, not for laying as the weather is mostly stable, the form is known and FD/Godawful is usually running riot!

Stats taken from the BF results archive. :(

sorry thats what i meant. july and august are supposed to best months for backing as ground is consistent

Lay Glen Lass . about 11/10 .. Alan got this wrong .

5.40 Rocket Rob 3 napsters on this horse .... wont have the pace to win this .. will be fav .. lay the beast ...

Tightfisted It aint about stats its about opinions .. some guys opinions are better than others .

Tightfisted It aint about stats its about opinions .. some guys opinions are better than others .

Zip you've got a big opinion of yourself as a punter/bookie, but when it comes to selecting a favourite as a nap, what do the stats say?

"This mug is A LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND"

What if I stopped when I reached 60 points profit in a month....

Lets try stopping at 30 points......


Er - why not stop at 0 points and "save" the lot?

Jan 3 rd too Jan 24th is 21 days ...... Zip has made a very good living out of this game over the last 40 years ... and so did my dad before me . what you got to say about that TF ...... hows that for a sting .......... you asked for it mug and you got it mug .

Zip I can go further back in time and show all your losing naps, but that sample is good enuff... your dad was a bookie, you can't become a bookie with no money, you were born with a big helping hand, that's what made you.

Until you can beat the napsters with +60 points in a year, then I might show you respect. Until then, you are an Aftertiming Cretin.

Er - why not stop at 0 points and "save" the lot?

Then where are you going to suck your profits from?
