Subject: MAKING CONSISTENT PROFITS
Message:
Has anyone successfully used a betting strategy to consistently make a reasonable return each week? By strategy, I mean after you've made your selections for a race, how do you go about *investing* your money. I've read somewhere on this forum that there's no point in picking 5 winners if you're not making money and tend to agree.
Some issues to consider:
1) Do you bet on each and every race at a meeting or limit bets to a select few races ? What factors influence this - class of race, size of field, confidence level, etc?
2) When betting on a race do you simply put money on one horse to WIN or EACH WAY or on multiple horses? How successful is multiples betting?
3) Do you only bet on horses where the odds are over what you'd expect them to be?
As a trial, over the last 3 weeks I've been betting on every race on the card in Sydney, usually $20 on one horse to win and another $20 on a different horse to place in the same race. So far I've outlayed about $900 for a return of $1200.
Would be interested to find out what systems others use and the long term(+ 6mths) results.

Well Gambler, congratulations on your profitable punting.
By showing a very nice (30%) profit during the last 3 weeks, you may have answered your own question.
Although you have not expanded on your betting selection process, it seems as though you are making the the right choices. Why not just stick with it and see where it takes you? Do your own analysis of the results...are your Win bets giving you the bulk of your winnings or are the Place returns keeping you afloat ?
At least you are now playing with THEIR money.

Gambler I would hazard a guess to say 99% of the people who post this site are mug punters or in it for fun and not to make money, me included.
The key is too look at a rating system of sorts, your own, or a combination of others and look for the horses which you think are value. Now you probably ask what is value? I beleive this is up to the individual.
I can tell you if you stick to your current method of backing the card in syd, you will not win long term.
The simple key to winning more money, in my opinion, is to reduce the number of bets and outlay more on each. This may mean having only one bet a week or month, but if you want to make a living this is a starting point to do it, I beleive.
My last point is dont get tied up in hype on the hype horses. Back form, not what the media tell us is the next superstar!
Goodluck with it stick to a system and work on it and expand it and money can be made!

Butcha,I've left you a message containing my email address.
Fun factor...yes, and in some cases the alcohol factor, seem to induce stupidity when betting(e.g $100 on Lonhro or Northerly). Discipline is obviously the key factor.

I have used several systems and strategies coupled with various staking plans that have mad consistant profit......my discipline in applying them has been poor as i go way too much for the "fun" factor and do not take a business like approach.....i am alway willing to share them with anyone who wants to know and will gladly e-mail anyone who asks......but I like the sound of 100k profit a year!

Some gentlemen i know have been using a system which is basically betting the overs but a little more complicated than that, for the last 12 years or so.
Mathmatically the system works and they have been making 100 - 150 k per year since. Turnover of 1 million a week helps you get freebies at the track too, food etc haha.
