How to Win @ the Horses!

[Racer]

Ok, might seem like a daft question, but I usually follow stats, hope that they will change very little from year to year and show a small to medium profit over the course of a year. The thing is Stats are proving to bad to follow at the moment, at least when I give out my selection's using them.....they always come 2nd.

Am I just unlucky or are stats crap at the moment?

:doh

[Johnny2Tone]

The biggest problem IMHO at the moment is the going. One laying system that I follow which as a S/R of 87% over the last two years, performed really baddly the last two days (s/r approx 55%).::swear

My think it is best just to slow things down at this time of the year.

You're not alone.

Try to avoid ANY going that does not fall between Goood to Firm and Soft - this might limit the amount of races available at this time of year, but your stats should hold up better.

Or just don't back a horse if it's not proven on the soft. Simple as. Systems me ****.

Systems me ****.

Is that some sort of gay Irish sexual invitation? :yikes:

[Fadetoblack]

It could be :wink

Simple.....find out what Vegy's lays are, and back them :D

[Racer]

Lol thanks guys. Some useful info too.

;)

For the benefit of layers (and, of course, backers) I read only yesterday that a higher percentage of favourites fail on heavy going. Might be worth bearing in mind.

The attachment is the stats for all fav's on the NH for the last 15 years - by going.

If stats have a way of evening out over time I ought to go thru the card today - had a nightmare of a week :(

[Win2Win]

So have I Vic, all my bigs bets finishing mostly 2nd. It does turn though, and besides, I've had a hell of a run on the NH over the last few months, so I couldn't care less about a downturn for a week or two.

[Vic]

I have to say the last few months have been a bit in the "to good to be true" bracket, and even after the last week I'm still in profit for Nov - but to put it into "old money terms", it would have taken me 2 months to earn what I've lost in the past 7 days :laugh

If going by my first ever job in 1984, it would have taken me 2 years :yikes:
