The Last Minute Mail had a brilliant day last week and this week was in front after the very first race. Remember we quit and win. Works most of the time but its hard to do that isn’t it? 5 wins from 17 races which is 2 less than average. I spent my day working with my original idea from 20 years ago. Using Money Factory I would ducth the runners starting at top rated until I couldnt make double my outlay. If my top rated runner was odds on that was the only bet. If there was a first starter favourite that was the first bet then start at the top. Here’s my action after the first 15 races.
Number of Bets | 15 | Number of Wins | 5 | Strike Rate | 33 | Average Dividend | 2.29 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Amount Bet $ | 778 | Return $ | 789 | Profit $ | 11 | ROI % | 1 |
Not a good result right? On the contrary, a good result. On level stakes it was a loss of 24% but with Money Factory it was a small, very small, win. I actually did collect a bit more than that due to dividends being a little more than expected but with races going on minutes later I had to estimate , result the previous race and move on. I did miss getting on some races too and that would have altered the result, missing a winner and or missing a loser. My last win, the plan said I was still a few dollars behind but I also expected to get a bigger div than estimated and I did, so another $18 on top of that.
With a big family Christmas party coming up, I left a few bets on and quit for the day. As I check this morning I see that I ended up two grand up for the day and the 3 from 5 for our Premium bets (not to be confused with John Furgals SMS which had a 2nd from one bet) it was a good day.
Today is our family day so I will have the selections up, get a few bets on if any then duck out for Coles chickens , can’t beat em, Woolies ones have no flavour, and then check my results tonight when its all over. Have a good day but a little hint. There have been times when I have gone in hard on Christmas eve only to find myself having a bad losign day. Its not a good feeling , Ive had good wins too BUT these days I take it easy, Boxing Day is the day to splurge again if your need to.
