It’s good to report that the last three days have been positive and all three helped to reduce the previous deficit. We now stand at just 3.2 pts behind and if this trend continues, the broad uplands of profit beckon. Perhaps that’s a little fanciful, but after a period in the doldrums, I feel entitled to a little hyperbole.

For the record, the strike rate is 61.54%, not a great figure for a laying system at the moment, even with the average odds of 3.95, but if the current trend continues this should improve. The present balmy weather is obviously a factor in this, so we must hope that it continues.

We are still waiting for the improvement we are looking for to start rolling back our losses. We have just about held our own in the last three days, losing just one point in that time, making our overall position -18.3pts.

Have you made your New Year Resolutions?

However corny it seems, the new year is a time for new beginnings.

It’s a time when you can put past failures behind you and make a new start and it’s a convenient place to put down a marker to measure from.

If you have not been on the winning team with your betting in 2011 then now is the time to regroup and create a plan to succeed in 2012.

Today I want to point you at some resources (and by that I mean little known systems) that will help you to get off to a winning start and hopefully help you to make 2012 the year that you make it happen.

Whether you have been successful in the past and want to step up a gear or if you have not yet tasted ongoing betting success the free material here will help you move things on a stage.

As well as advice on strategy and management of mind and money there will be methods and systems that will win for you all shared for free.

These are winning angles that I only know because of my membership of the Insiders Club.

EG Did you know that one of the top trainers has a profitable strike rate with his horses that were pulled up last time. Little facts like these are the secrets that can be built up into a regular stream of winners.

Take my advice and check this out and get your year off to a winning start.

The New Year has not started well for the system: from 29 qualifying selections, we have had 13 winners and the result has been a loss of just over 17pts in the three days. These poor figures must reflect bad racing conditions in some way and we have to hope and expect things to turn around. In October and November the system performed very nicely, so it has done well in the past. Patience is called for here, no system is perfect but we need to see an improvement before the bank is too severely dented.

I have been using The Bet Engine (TBE) for twelve months now, so an update on my original report is appropriate. However, what can I say? It would be a lot easier if I could report various snags, or dropped bets, or mis-calculations of odds placed, but as it stands, I’m a bit stuck, because it performs perfectly in everything it does. If you like a bit of a challenge from your programs to keep you on your toes, you will be disappointed in TBE, because it never steps out of line, never gives you a chance to show your skill in overcoming insurmountable obstacles, it just does exactly what you ask it to do: it’s so boring and predictable.

I could go on at length about its ability to handle up to 10 systems on horses or dogs, with dozens of filters and settings, but you can go to the website to see all that for yourselves. What I can say is that, with its aid, I have handled a number of system trials on the blog, often several at the same time as well as my own betting activities, sometimes running as many as 8 systems at once, all with different settings and some live, some on test setting and all with different staking plans. TBE has handled them all without error.

Whenever Betfair has had one of its little mishaps and has shifted the goalposts a little more for us, Alistair, the author, has supplied an answer within hours. There has also been a steady stream of enhancements to the filters, as suggested or requested by the users. Despite all this constant attendance, the cost for this Rolls-Royce of bots is moderate and set so that you only pay for the level you need for your betting.

Those of you with day jobs who would like to use a particular system or systems have the perfect answer here. Since you can set both a target and a stop loss (even trailing), you need never fear coming home to a disaster.

You may have gained the impression that I am rather impressed by TBE? You’d be right!

The last day of the year provided us with a welcome return to a profit , one of those days I mentioned earlier in which we only had one winner from the list of qualifiers. In today’s case, it was 10 losers and one winner at 3.15, so a yield of 7.85pts, which helped to assuage the shock of the last three days, which have cost us over 14pts and leave the month on a rather disappointing deficit of 28pts.

However, as I mentioned a couple of days ago, Mich, the author of the system, has changed the odds filter and this will certainly cut down the loss when a winner crops up. In view of this fundamental change, I propose to run the test for a further period to give this new format a decent chance.

The month has now ended on a bit of a downbeat, with an overall deficit of 18.5 pts. However, from the results of some other services as well as this, it seems that December has not been a favourable time for the horses and with the odds range which this system pursues, a winner, when it does come, tends to make quite large gains. The other side of this coin, obviously, is that the strike rate is not high and therefore one’s expectations need to be managed. By system standards, the price per month is very low and I feel that it is quite a reasonable offering.

In the last couple of days, the author has increased the value for money by providing a free bot which loads and places the bets automatically and Graham will be continuing the trial with this aid. This is good, because I think this system is worth an extended trial and I didn’t want to fail it anyway – I would have gone for a Neutral rating, pending more experience with it. Graham will be able to give it that.

A big list of selections on Boxing Day, 33 no less. However, these were reduced to 26 by odds limits and non-runners and they unfortunately suffered another heavy loss of 11pts.

However, this morning, Mich changed the odds filter somewhat and it had an immediate effect, pulling back 7.4 pts by nailing 9 losers from 10 qualifying selections, a much improved strike rate. It also had the welcome effect of providing less selections. He informs us that had we been using this odds filter since the start of the service in October, we would now be showing a profit of 91pts instead of 35. December has been poor, but although we are currently showing a deficit of 19pts for the month, I am hopeful that we will see much better results from now on.

Since this is now almost a new service, I’ll keep reporting into the New Year, hoping that it is indeed a Happy one – which is what I wish you all.
