Xtc12 Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Tombstone 14.10 Leopardstown 3 Pts Win @ 8\15 (bog) Smart chaser. Latest win in chase at Limerick in October. 66/1, tailed-off last of 6 to Apple's Jade in Irish Champion Hurdle at this course (16f, good) 29 days ago. The one to beat.

Xtc12 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Last day for another year with a small profit made. American Tom 13.20 Fakenham 6 Pts Win @ 5\6 (bog) Useful form for Willie Mullins over fences. Sold out of that yard cheaply in September but looks to have been found a good opening on first start for new trainer after 10 months off. Hooded.

The 5 losers between 8th Mar, and 12th Mar was the equal highest number of consecutive losers with 2016\17. The most consecutive winners over the time was 7 (3rd lowest) brought to an end by Southfield Stone (Lorcan Williams) on 4th February.. The biggest odds winner @ 3.0 was Le Precieux (J.Moore) 3rd Jan and Song Saa (Mr N George) 5th March. The lowest odds winner @ 1.06 was Louis Vac Pouch (J.McGrath) 26th Feb and Poppy Kay (A.Coleman) 1st March. 49 different jockeys, three with the most rides Barry Geraghty 10, 6 winners 60%, N De Boinville 7,6 winners 86%, Harry Cobden and G.Sheehan 5, 3 winners 60% and Aidan Coleman 5,2 winners 40%. Of the jockeys who had 2 or more rides D.Russell (3 rides), J.Bowen (3 rides), Jack Kennedy (2 rides), Mr D.Maxwell (2 rides) all had a 100% record. Average Stake : 9.73 Pts Think thats it for another 8 months. Thanks to everyone who looked in since November. EviL ZippY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest what is the logic behind the staking plan and does it make a profit at level stakes? The logic behind the staking plan is, increase your stake by a point at a loss and decrease your stake with a win. The amount you decrease your stake depends on the price of the winner. You continue to do this until you make a profit and then start again. There are another few rules thrown in but the above is the basis of the plan. This year on the 17th December we were in profit of 20.39. It took 63 more bets before we were able to increase our profit above this which is the reason for the high stakes from the end of December till the 2nd March when Oleg won with Harry Cobden up to increase our profit to 34.12. Think I checked this on Level stakes before and dont think it makes a profit. Will check when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCLARKE Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thanks for the explanation. I must admit I am always dubious about staking plans. I don't think that long term a staking plan can turn a losing system at level stakes into a profitable system. I suspect that at some stage you will have a losing run that will wipe out all your profits but I am open to be proved wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtc12 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 @MCLARKE Yes you maybe right about staking plans but you are not guaranteed a profit on level stakes either. Yes with a staking plan you would possibly lose your profit quicker. Read a good piece on RFO recently from Richard Birch a professional punter. Since the 1st january 2019 he has laid out approximately £80,000 for a return of £80,030. I know people will say that he mustn't be a good punter, but unfortunately we are all not in the JP McManus league but we will all carry on to make our dream. Will try and get the level stakes for you asap. Thanks for the input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtc12 Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 That time of the year again ..... ready to go with this. NB Even though this has shown a profit down the years you have to follow the staking plan for it to work ! I will try and get the results for level staking in time. No good thing pricewise today so to start with Birchdale 13.00 Ascot 3 Pts Win @ 13\8 (bog) Won first 2 starts over hurdles at Warwick last season, notably Grade 2 Classic in January. Shaped as if amiss in the Albert Bartlett at Cheltenham final start but remains with potential for chasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Gaye system is hard to fault i.e I heard it on the Grapevine as opposed to systems that have been proven for decades to be failures.At least M Clarke appears to be thinking like a punter who has a desire to win using logic and that is a compliment and a positive way forward and plenty should take note?

I am presuming from the comment you are saying that this is a martingale system. My understanding of a martingale system is that you double your stake after every loser. Well with this system (which has shown a profit in ten of the last eleven years) you increase your stake by a point after a loser. Yes please take note I cannot guarantee a profit will be made at the end of the year but who can, even with level stakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just similar Xtc as limited to bank and acceptance of large stakes following a long losing run e.g £100 to win 20p? Long term losing system as they all are otherwise there would be no bookies or layers on exchanges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
