hi every one i posted a similar thread to this on another forum without much response and it is possible that the fault is with me and the subject is not of interest to people and that's fair enough but i will try it here
in the on going quest to turn a profit i have found that accurate and honest RECORD KEEPING can proof very helpful it enables you to constantly learn and if necessary use back fitting in the best possible way
as an example last summer i had a run of 10 consecutive losers when checking these i found that 6 of them where 3yo running against older horses
because i have records going back 8 years i was able to establish that although profitable these bets did not return as high a roi
i continued to back them until the end of the year and the pattern was maintained so i felt it was right to concluded that this was not just a statistical blip and so for this year for me when a 3yo is indicated as the selection against older horses its been no bet
this has cost me some winners but in terms of roi has prooved a good decision
and is just one example of how long term record keeping can enhance your profit margins best wishes
