Some of you guys might be interested in a simple approach of selecting the top two on the default ratings which is making hay at the moment:

As with all thing as soon an real money is used the purple patch will no doubt turn to blue.

Yesterday was the best day so far, especially at Roscommon where there was over 50 points profit.

I don't really know how this will go long term.
I do hope kilkennycat will keep us posted.

It is a great pity that kilkennycats system based on PF is not being posted here where it belongs but on another web site by the way. IMO it should have been be posted here.

I have tried similar systems using PF (and other) ratings and as I understand from reading PF many others have as well , with or without filters.

Backing two horses to win in every race of the day cannot make a long term profit IMO regardless of the ratings used.

I hope this theory above proves me wrong

The profits all seem to come from hitting the odd big priced winner, which I will not dispute does happen as I have witnessed it does but it seems it cannot be maintained as such, in my experience.

However, why not turn it all upside down ? ... Take a look at the bottom of the PF ratings and lay that horse ... when the price is right for you?

See my post on Night Rocket under lays. This horse was fav and bottom rated on PF.

Not so many selections at the prices (liability) that may be on offer I agree but a lot less outlay and risk for sure in the long term. I think?

I have no problem with patternform being discussed and used on other forums even in preference to this location.

I also think it's unlikely to continue generating profits but that it's been able to generate 5k profits (without commission being considered) with £40 per race over three and a half weeks (with the break last weekend) is interesting.

There must have been around £40k stakes which equates to around 2k in commission which gives a profit of 3k or 7.5% of stake (ball park figures here - 1.6k over 25 days is my estimate for stake)

The lay approach is interesting and the Doug based system has been generating profits for over a year from lay - so plenty of miles to go there.

With £5000 profits if I was after paying £2000 in comission I'd kill someone . The total comission was done by someone before yesterdays results and it came to just under £900.

Sorry for not posting here but I don't think it would have the same amount of views (has had over 2600 views in the last 2 days)

Thanks again Martin for a great tool

Sorry about that kilkennycat but I had taken a quick look at the first post from the OLBG thread which was 11-Jul-2008 and had assumed it had been sequential since - I've just noticed that the second day was the 23-Jul-2008 - very sloppy of me - sorry again

No problem Martin, I will be taking a break from doing the blog for about a month or so due to work commitments, so Sunday will probably be the last day for a while.

Started the blog again last Monday week and it was the best week so far with profits of £3768.89 with the highlight being Listowel on Saturday with a winner at 22/1 followed by a winner in the last at 88/1.

Also for the past month have been running a laying blog based on Patternform which has also shown nice profits of over £3500 for the past 4 weeks.

Superb betting blog - very consistent.

The Laying blog is going swimmingly, but the prices of some of those runners you lay frighten me!!!

Thanks Martin

The laying blog went belly up today with winners at 139/1 and 129/1 but there is still some cash left in the blog but it is a lesson that you will get burned sooner or later laying at big prices.

Much easier to back to win and less stressfull
