Well that was pants wasn’t it???
People ask me why I don’t like laying systems and this is why. You spend five weeks building up your winnings slowly and steadily to see them all go to waste on one losing bet at 9/1. Not only have my profits up to now been wiped out but also half my betting bank, which now stands at £50. How messed up is that? At the moment it looks like this laying system works better as a backing system!
I think for future system tests I will only consider laying systems that lay short priced or odds-on favourites. Sure you will get more losing bets but they won’t be devastating to both your betting bank and your morale! Can you believe I have seen some laying systems that advocate laying horses up to 20/1? Crazy.
Right, no bets today, which is good because I just kicked my laptop out the window and now have to get it fixed.
How about if you went back to your original selection criteria, would it be worth doing then?
Probably… there were lots of no bet days but it did show a profit!
