Today's Horse Racing

[firlandsfarm]

Ireland, Sundays and low-grade racing can be quite a lethal cocktail.

There has been an above average run of high priced winners recently and Ireland has had more than it's fair share … that has been 'difficult' for systems

My back high priced runners system is working just fine

A bit late now but I should really have taken the afternoon off and enjoyed the sunshine, the few quid I lost today would have paid for the beer.

Bummer of a day again!!, just seemed like everytime I jumped in the price moved, could have been doing with the big guys to drive the price down a tad for me still learning tho good thing is I'm constantly loosing £5 ish per day

For a brief moment I was struggling to think what day of the week it is. Markets are trading quite well for a Monday.

Yeah this is the case if you back with bookies but with Betfair all you need is a tiny edge and you'll be profitable on outsiders

If it's unqualified yes, otherwise no. It was a tongue in cheek reference rather than being concrete. As it happens I've got a strategy that just about makes enough to pay for the biscuits that totally contradicts it.

Not according to my stats unless you get an advantageous price which could be said about anything! (I don't count bookies!)

I thought so A strategy/system I can believe as it's selective but a bland backing of all outsiders as suggested in the short Wikipedia article isn't a profit maker.

You can back at BSP and still end up winning, you just need to know where to look
