Summer's here and the systems are.... legion

Summer's been awash with racing systems, some good and some (ahem) not so good....
I've been asked about Racing4idiots from the Mohammed Ali stable (no, not the fighter) but regretfully I've been able to secure a copy for review. "Little Acorns" is a progressive laying system which has been working very well in testing. I gather it is being heavily promoted via direct mail and sells for about £80 (please correct me if I'm wrong) which, unusually, includes a free pair of binoculars!

I'm always keen to read Clive Keeling's comments in What Really Wins Money (though his Kelly Brook obsession is becoming a tad irksome). Since Malcolm Pett at UK Horseracing Systems (and Sporting Bots) has been in dialogues with him I expect we'll see some new systems coming up from this JV stable in the near future.....

I haven't been remotely able to keep track of all the systems flooding out of the Stephen Brooks camp. Whilst I know there is some criticism out there about the sheer volume of these productions there may well be some diamonds in the rough and if I find them I'll be sure to let you know.

Freelance projects have kept me away from blogging for awhile, but please don't take this as any indication that things aren't busy at Bismarx HQ. Although I may be singing my own praises "The Bank Vault Report" was the seminal laying system, published at a time when the Betting Exchanges were in their infancy and laying was a novel concept. That I and Raj Patel are still out there just shows these strategies have stood the test of time. Unlike some publisher's I will not put out any old system just to make a quick buck (which is why you may not hear from me for periods of time).

As ever, do drop me a line and let me know how you're getting on.
