Is this system worth pursuing? Testing now...

[DC]

I've been messing about on a Horseracing stats website and back fitted a series of rules going back to Jan 1996. The results read as follows... Total bets to date: 3711 Wins: 1397 Strike Rate: 37.64% Return on investment: 88.36% per £100 bet: Loss of £43506 Not impressed?!!! No, but consider if you were to turn the picture upsidedown and LAY these horses. Bearing in mind, no horse was over 2/1... Total bets to date: 3711 Wins: 2314 Strike rate: 62.36% Return on investment: ??? per £100 bet: ??? would the higher prices on exchanges and commission severely reduce any profits when laying? DC

Re: Is this system worth pursuing? Even reducing by 5% for the increased odds, it's still pretty respectable, but run it through and take a note of the size of the bank you would need. Thats what can make or break a system.
