Well, I'm off for a few days (part business, part pleasure) which brings me nicely to this question: what racing systems can you still use (pardon the pun) "on the hoof"?

There are some that require sifting through an inordinate quantity of data, or require you to be glued to the PC all day (not really something you want to do if you're in a hotel, or, worse still, hooking up your laptop in a wi-fi hotspot). Others, like our own Bismarx Bot (www.bismarck.org.uk) require your own PC to be left on and running. And, you don't really want to be checking results all day either, wondering how multiple selections have performed.

So, I have to say Nova Publication's Fancy Fillies is really just the job for such a situation. Just one bet a day, no scary liability, takes just ten minutes in the morning - really a set it and forget it type system. Since I've been using it the longest losing run has been three races and the longest winning streak about fourteen. That's pretty impressive results. Visit www.betfayre.co.uk to learn more about a system I personally endorse.

See you when I get back.....

Aiming to get that all green feeling

The Philosopher Stone losing run sequence seems to be an issue with the number of runners, as I've previously suggested. When sticking to an ideal maximum of ten the system performs very well, although the bets are fewer. This is the final phase of testing and I'm pretty confident we've got something good here. Keep an eye out for more info soon.

The Racing Systems world can be a fickle place. There can be a drought of anything halfway decent then, like buses, two or three new systems emerge. Very often these are nothing more than vague copies of what has gone before.

When I'm asked why would one need more than one system the answer seems clear to me. Different tools provide different solutions and it is always good to keep updating knowledge and ideas.

Although I've only dabbled in "trading" on Betfair (in a nutshell buying one set of odds low and selling high, or vice-versa) I've always been intrigued by this pastime. Sporting Manuals have come out with something (which I haven't had time to test yet) but which you might want to have a look at. The testimonials certainly ring true. Let me know how you get on with it:

I've been in the think tank for the last few days refining the core rules of the Philosopher Stone system. We hit a few losers on the trot (not that many at three) but this made me uneasy. The plain fact of the matter is based on simple stats: the more runners in a race the more chances a rogue horse could push our selection out of kilter. At a maximum of ten runners per race the system performs flawlessly, the only downside is you may have to wait a couple of days to find a decent bet. As ever, I err on the side of caution, and this will be reflected in the final product.

We've had seven more sign-ups for the Bismarx Bot lifetime license (www.bismarck.org.uk). The feedback has been great as more people are enjoying the benefits of letting "robo bot" hunt down the Betfair cash. I use it myself to great effect on the overnight races.
