888mkII system(+15 points profit...)

[DC]

888 System Here is a system I have recently designed. I have hardly tested it yet, but from my early proofing it looks like it has some potential.... The idea is that I pick THREE horses a day and back them in a £1 e/w treble. The minimum price of any selection will be 8-1 so that if all three horses place, the payout is enough to cover around two weeks worth of bets. There will be one treble a week day, two trebles on a Saturday and none on a Sunday meaning an outlay of £14 a week. As the races will be HANDICAP RACES ONLY, the return on three selections placing will return £27 if all three horses are at least 8-1. (Of course there is the danger that a selection could be backed in to a shorter price, but I'll have to live with that). If, on the rare occasion all the horses WIN then my losses will be covered for the year and any profits from earlier placings be profit. This is of course, my aim, to hit three winners from three ONCE in a year! :D As stated before, the races will be Handicap races only and picked from the MAIN MEETING (and another meeting of my choice on a Saturday). I will look for horses quoted at 8-1 in the Racing Post that are tipped by at least one tipster. If not I will move onto the next one in the betting forecast. Should two or more horses be the same quoted price and tipped by the same amount of selectors then the HIGHEST RP RATINGS horse is the selection. If still unseperable, then the horse carrying the MOST WEIGHT is the selection for that race. If there are more than THREE handicap races for the meeting, the three LOWEST field size races are used for that day. If there is NO SELECTION FOR A RACE, at all, i.e not one horse is tipped above 8-1 in the betting forecast, use another handicap race from the same meeting. If there are no handicap races left to pick from, leave the meeting alone. Here are today's selections as an example: Main meeting: YORK The three races are the 2:00 (11 runners), 3:05 (9) and 4:15 (9) The 2:35 is ommited (16) First selection WHISTLER (10-1) tipped by Daily Telegraph. (The three horses at 8-1 in the betting recieved no tips). Second selection SKI JUMP (8-1) recieved two tips (Topspeed and Postdata) Third selection PICCOLOMINI (8-1) tipped by the Guardian. (The other 8-1 in the betting received NO tips) That's it. Good luck if you choose to follow the system!

Re: 888 system Like the idea Danny. If you got the 1st 2 up(placed or wins) would you consider laying the 3rd on Betfair to guarentee a profit?
