He got paroled before the war and went to Broken Hill and a job, married and had children. In a few years he left Australia, and his family responsibilities, to settle in Argentina and nothing much is known of him from that point. Aaron maintains he is a pure as the driven snow but his Dad, his Dad was a worry. His grandfather likewise, convicted of stealing cattle, he was keeping them for a friend was his defence, believable until he banked the cheque for their sale, after the Police interview. He was implicated in a few of those cattle stealing matters, and avoided hard labour by 'helping inquiries' as to who had what now, who knew, and it is said it took the Police some investigation time to get through all the information and Grandfather was not spared from appearing before His Honour. He got time and the family moved on without him, the grandfather. The Dad did the despicable, he wrote and sold betting systems, under various names in various states. The family have changed their name now, the quick move to respectability, actually I think great granny orchestrated that when her man went to Argentina, way back, but Aaron is bemused by his lineal path, smiles when grandfathers gone are discussed and gave up the bank to be a tattooist. My copy was given to me by Aaron after a previous discussion about systems at the races once, and it was then that I got the history report over a smoke and a mug of tea. "Path to Riches" is a few pages in a booklet, advertised in the racing pages and sold through a post box in Brickfield Hill, downtown Sydney. It cost $100, postage paid and the bottom third of the last page explains why you won't get your money back, don't bother essentially, ok. The author states that form placings are old fashioned. The prices of the runners at their last three starts are utilised to determine the bets in the upcoming race. This is what the results here are based on also. There are two pages of results. It is another way. It doesn't consider race strength, or much at all actually, except you determine the better runners off their last few prices, regardless of finish position, and the author argues rightfully, that the money determines the intent of the runner, it may be unfortunate that it wasn't able to score a place then, when the money was on, it may still have ability for this race as the backers of the last few runs thought so too. How does the price formline compare to the formline natural? No mode of investigation is shown, just the advice that examining the prices will help you decide your upcoming bets. No betting recommendations are made. This is the Path to Riches, the author has shown you the way, the next is up to you. This man could give system authors a bad name. In practice Sydney Race9 yesterday The winner Osborne Bulls had a formline 1121, its price line was 1.75,3.7,3.90,3.20. The formline is impressive as is the priceline either added or what I did was involve them all by multiplying them together (1.75*3.70*3.90*3.20) then divide that result by the longest dividend 80.808/3.90=20.72. This is the value attributable to this runner. I divided the product by 3.90, the longest dividend because if I was to determine the formline I would do the same thing, give credit to the runner for one off run. Osborne Bull had good form and good priceline form and was the better runner in this field. It seems 12 and 13 were next best and they filled the placings. Not convinced, I'm not. Race 8 Francaletta was the best performed and it placed. Race 7 Alizee, Moss Trip, Melody Bell were amongst the contenders and they did not feature in the finish. Race 6 Winx was top pick. Jemadar was perhaps next, unplaced. Race 5 Selected 2 and 3 which ran 1st and 2nd Race 4 Select 2, 2nd, although I used some voodoo to get a third div, an average. Race 3 legend of Condor maybe, 2nd Race 2 Select 10,12 and 3 - finish 1st,2nd and 4th Race 1 Select 6 and 12 - 1st and 4th Melbourne yesterday R9- 3,12,13 R8 3,6 R7 11,13,15 R6 4 -overseas form R5 10,15 R4 8,4 R3 1,9 R2 nil suitable R1 nil suitable So some winners there, and places, and some also rans. Doomben was promising - I'll leave that up to you. It is another way. Summary: The sp of the last four starts are examined to locate the best qualified runner(s) in the upcoming race.

Presumably they laid off at 2.35 and made a couple of bucks for God knows how much effort - the minnows manually check each of my bets and decided in this case to risk $9, so why would they not lay it off? Pathetic begets extra pathetic. Pathetic does not do Sportingbet.com.au justice. PS, Racing Victoria not only did not acknowledge my complaint against Centrebet's refusal of MBL bets, but did not even reply to my request of acknowledgement of the complaint. We all know, or should know, whose side those tasked with protecting punters are on - the corporates, not the punters, the corporates, not the on-course bookies.

But as so often is the case, it did not make the list, I got the "Your membership in the mailing list Racing has been disabled due to excessive bounces" line, and the results I posted at the end of the day came out in a convoluted format, almost indecipherable. There were 23 suggested bets (the basis being likely shorteners). The morning line odds averaged 174% of final Sportsbet odds, so that panned out as predicted. 1 scratching, 1 steady, 3 drifted and 18 shortened.

I see they are on the archives. I'll continue to post with fingers crossed while I am barred from betting with SB. How do you arrive at your selections - multiple rules or? Firstly, SB has to be top odds of the bookies I monitor. Obviously? Then I have a medley of rules that pick out those that tend to shorten - shortening does not guarantee winning of course, but you are rationally indisputably better off long-term getting the early odds rather than the final about shorteners. When betting to win a fixed amount (eg as imposed by MBL, well by those who adhere strictly to it like BetZero and unlike Centrebet, ClassicBet, Crownbet who ignore it at will) the price you get about winners is obviously irrelevant, but getting better prices about losers makes you while getting worse prices breaks you; and not even the best of us knows which will be which. Over a long period, those rules have resulted in selecting horses where the early Sportsbet place odds average 33% better than the final odds - yesterday's 74% was way above average - and that is likely enough to make one a long-term winner. Why bet place rather than win? Because under MBL you can bet more. Gosford 7 for example, an unremarkable market: fingers crossed it is readable. It shows that betting to win $400 the place all runners, you can get more on all runners than you can betting to win $1k straight out - between 35% and 78% more, and an average 53% more.

In this case there were 2 late scratchings in Stoney Creek 5, with SB deduction 20% and 12%, making the returns even worse, and the 1.68 figure lesser, but still high at 1.46.

The number of price changes for a particular runner is a good indicator of intent I have found - this information is available from Dynamic Odds. The following shows the number of fluctuations for Adelaide Cup field today - data from SB,Bet365,Ubet, summed and displayed. This is post-race, at least or after the jump anyway. Winner Fanatic had 66 movements, and crowd favourite Jamie Kah on Raindrops on Roses had 81, it was unplaced but may be worth following because of the interest in it here, perhaps? 61 Benzini 17 Master Of Arts 49 Double Bluff 66 Fanatic 53 Pretty Punk 48 Jim's Journey 52 Exalted Lightning 44 Like A Carousel 40 O'Lonera 54 Al Haram 30 Ormito 29 Tunes 7 Khezerabad 42 Flying Casino 81 Raindrops On Roses 4 Diamond Grace 46 Cuban Fighter 60 Poppiholla 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 In Saturdays Newmarket, winner RedKirk Warrior had 44 hits, around the average for a few runners, however Rock Magic had 70, for 4th, so it may be watched next outing. It's just another way - this data is after the jump. Leading up to decision, within the last 2 minutes say, there can be marked changes to the fluctuations, a great number I mean. Tote div history may be overdone - Dynamic has this data too. I take that feed and graph the runner divs as the changes arrive - it's pretty, but inconclusive. There is some writing on tracking and predicting dividend settling - Malcolm Knowles did some of this in The Wizard centre pages, 25+ years ago and his software ESP does just that, or did. It went awol at Windows XP or there abouts.

This from the 20's in a book. The circumstances and conditions requirement are the same rider, weight, weather. The Lightning is 1000 metres and the Newmarket is 1200 metres, that is allowed. Yesterday winner came into the race through the Lightning Handicap and the circumstances and conditions were the same. Weight difference is 1kg. The Lightning is wfa, the Newmarket is conditional handicap. The conditions and circumstances rules hamper selections, they are too exclusive but that nebulous reasoning was common back then (and now), I wrote it therefore it is although no reasoning or support is provided. I imposed a 1 kg rule to the selections, to counter the wfa handicapping. Supido, Rock Magic Missrock also came through the Lightning, all had weight changes, reflecting their class, and the latter two had rider changes also. RedKirk Warrior remained after the cull, and it won. Last year, RedKirk Warrior did not qualify through the Lightning Hcp and it won. Those that did qualify were TerraVista, Speith, Illustrious Lad, Star Turn, Counter Attack. Deleted because of the rider clause - Counter Attack, Star Turn. Deleted because of the weight clause - Spieth, Illustrious Lad, Star Turn, Counter Attack Terravista qualified as the system runner and was unplaced. Using my own rubbery selection equation I could qualify Spieth4, Sheidel2, Voodoo Lad1 first up, Star Turn3, Supercash3,Redkirk Warrior10 and first up. I narrowed them down to Star Turn, 3rd and Sheidel and Supercash and a race to stay away from -but that is me. >From an earlier post - the use of a race to catch a winner, in 7 of the 8 mentioned. The XX Longshot Plan - you work on 7 races throughout the year. (a) Grand National Steeplechase -the selection is the runner which finished 4th or 5th or 6th in the Kensington Steeplechase a week earlier. If the runner who came 4th is entered, it is the selection. Disregard other entries. If there are no runners from the Q race there is no bet on the GN (b) Footscray Steeplechase - if there is a runner in this that came 4th or 5th or 6th in the Kensington Steeplechase then it becomes the selection. Disregard other entries. (c) Australian Steeplechase - the selection is the horse which won the Godfrey Watson Steeplechase or the horse which ran second in that race. (d) Spring Stakes - the selection is the topweight. (e) Caulfield Guineas - same selection as the Spring Stakes but only if it won the Spring Stakes. (f) Melbourne Cup - the selection is the runner who finished 2nd in the Caulfield Cup (g) Sandown Guineas - the selection is the filly who did best of the 4th,5th,6th in The Oaks. And some results Summary: (a) GN Steeple, 14 bets, 5 winners, 11-4,16-1,11-8,25-1,7-1 (b) Footscray S, 9 bets, 4 winners, 5-2,7-2,12-1,9-2 (c) Aust Stple, 14 bets,8 winners, 3-1,4-1,9-4,4-6,6-1,7-1,5-2,4-1 (d) Spring Stks 10 bets, 6 winners,6-4,3-1,8-1,2-1,1-1,6-4 (e) Caulfield Gns 4 bets, 2 winners, 10-1,20-1 (f) Melbourne C, 13 bets,4 winners 14-1,15-1,20-1,25-1 (g) Sandown Gns, 8 bets, 4 winners, 10-1,6-1,5-2,14-1 Back to the Newmarket system - a runner in the Lightning Hcp qualifies as a selection if conditions and circumstances are similar - weather, jockey, weight. In 1982, for instance, Razor Sharp won the race 10/1,10.8, having run in the Lightning Hcp. He's a Haze was another and Papal Bull, both unplaced in this running In 1981, Elounda Bay won the Newmarket after running in the Lightning Stakes, in race record time 10/1 11.4. Aare and Watney were other runners In 1980, Scomeld and Bit of a Skite ran in the Lighting Stakes but were unplaced in the Newmarket, won by Dor Kon, who was at 33/1, and was 25/1 at his previous start, which he won also (Hawkesburn Hcp) and he had been very short in two earlier runs interstate. There is a plan to trap Hawksburn Hcp runners when entered in the Newmarket. In 1970, Black Onyx won 8/1 G Moore after winning the Lightning Stakes. 3/1. Etc. There is a plan that requires selections running in the Oakleigh Plate and backing up in the Newmarket to be selected also. There is a plan applied to The Straight Six, another once a year event, but that has 3 or 4 lead up races to consider and scores highly for placegetters - something that happens when 5 or so selections are running for you. You can't back them all. Actually, you can, there is a TAB button for that, but I am saying you can't profit doing that. There may be a plan in existence that will select all runners, because of some happenstance in a previous moment, different for all but which conforms with a selection rule, somehow.

I worked for a man in central Victoria for a while and he had racehorses, his family did. He was not connected with their training, or anything too much really, that was the job of the trainer, picking the races, getting a jockey, feeding, watering, exercising, the things that trainers do. All of this means, or requires organisation, and it seems this trainer didn't have that. The Boss horses were brown, and that was the total of their similarity, one was a mare, the other a gelding, one had a white fetlock, the other three, one was twice the size of the other. It was that last trait that caused some laughter in the stewards room once. Rover, the girl, and Drover, the gelding were their stable names. Rover was entered in a race one day at a different town although it depended on some variables if she got a start or not. She could be balloted out. She was this day, excluded, one reason being she had no jockey, non-declared, up to 11.00am. The plan by the trainer was to find some kid when he got there, he said that, he told the stewards, the other being she was the last horse nominated and did not meet the form criteria for the race, for horses with up to two wins in the District, and she had no wins anywhere. She was not on course at the required time also, they had to be in the stalls a couple of hours. They had a full field, 14 may be, there being no spare kids, Rover was balloted out. The trainer stayed for the races, left Rover, tethered and thirsty and meant to return home in the cool evening. The owner found this out, the trainer had not informed him that Rover was being nominated, to be excluded. Rover had been entered in a second race, the next day, on her home course, as a back up to anything preventing her running the first day, the day when there was no jockey, insufficent form, out of class, late arrival. The second nomination, the second day, was never supposed to be a backup for the first calamities. The trainer spoke to a kid at the first race meeting and they struck up a deal for him to ride Rover the next day, he was going to be there for other rides, so yeah, pleased to. So he used the race secretary fax and fired off a form, confirming Rover running, with a jockey, in tomorrows race, he was a day late, but it was done. The owner found the following out, the trainer had not informed him that Rover was nominated for this upcoming race. The trainer tried to get away, in the cool of the evening, but there was the social aspect, then they asked to borrow his float, two horse size and they would be back pronto, promise. By 2.00am the party was winding down for day one, the trainer had been asleep in the back seat of his car, when his float was delivered to him, and thanks all round. Rover was ok, moved out of the wind, watered, a feed, a good feed too, borrowed from one of the big boys down river, and well, he, the trainer, was so tired. So he went to sleep with the best intentions of leaving first thing, an easy run on a good road, straight to the course, meet the staff there, he had other runners and a good supervisor. He slept on until the birds made it impossible to do so. He woke up in the sunny morning and went to check on Rover and she had moved, she was now picking at the grass near the fence of the car park and played a little game with him before acceding to capture and loading on the float. He was late, he knew it, and he rang the yard and spoke to his man. It seems an indictment, a blight really, that the next thing occurred, the three stable employees were involved. They took Drover to the course as Rover, not to undertake the race, just be the four legged requirement in the runner stalls and not incur the wrath of the stewards, yesterday they warned him, perhaps not again today. It was dumb what they did, but they did it. Essentially they took Drover from his nap after a feed, Drover, the blue whale of the District, he is big, he is big and known, and today he was Rover, even bandaged on his front feet, like Rover is on race days, and Drover is never bandaged, he is clean legged all year. The first inspection came and went, all good, stall R6, a brown horse, discernible mark on shoulder, dimple on neck, strapper in attendance. Second walk through stall R6, farrier in attendance, filing, plate decision unknown, plates on. No mention or recognition that Drover was a male, and Rover, absent at present, was a girl, a horse with a girls name, something, something Thora, truly. The trainer was on the way, in fact, he came off the ridge just then and he could see the silos in the distance and the course is in their shadow, all good. He parked outside and unloaded Rover and tied her to the float, he went and got Drover, and quietly walked him around the back to a row of stalls and tethered him there. He went and got Rover and took her through the washing bay, just a refresher, the legs, the belly, she likes the hose on her neck, she is a bit skittish, she is a bit worked up, ready to race really he said. Poor Rover hasn't worked a muscle for a couple of days, had grass for breakfast, although she had the best horse gourmet last night. Rover was installed, brushed, bandaged on her front and the trainer went to attend to other business, clients, horses, two others, the jockey. The stall steward, or whatever his title, wanted an answer regarding Drover. He is out of his stall, why, and he is not nominated to race today, why is he here. He is here for comfort for Rover and I tied him there while I dealt with business associated with training, he said. Oh well, the Stewards may hear about this. The Secretary said don't worry about it. The stewards did come, and invited him back afterwards, about the late jockey nomination for starters, and well there were other things, we will talk about them with you then. The trainer wanted details there and then, he felt compromised, he felt he had done something wrong, terrible, the jockey factor was one, unavoidable really, there had been runners excluded because of the non-appearance of jockeys up this way before. The stewards were forthright, transparent, it is about Drover occupying Rovers stall, being Rover-like while the real deal was still arriving. The trainer felt strongly enough to say he would not allow his horse to run, he felt picked on, compromised, he had a slight delay getting on course, he had been warned about slackness, their word for lateness the day before, he had not meant to be contemptible, he did not trick the stewards, he was running a business and sometimes this requires decisions not normal. So they left him for the time being, and questioned the staff, why was Drover bought over, and of course they told them why, for what reason, and apologised for being stupid. Rover was scratched, the jockey got paid in the circumstances, just his fee. Drover got away and like his stable mate, had a nibble of the grass in the car park. The trainer was informed he should remain on course today, the stewards had questions. His other runners would be scratched as it was interpreted that the trainer wanted that, he said that, he had said he had finished running his horses in this District. He may have been rash in saying that, and denied he meant it to be, but the receiver of the tirade heard it, as did the secretary and the girls in the kitchen and probably some in the grandstand. So the stewards asked him separately for each horse, the others and not Rover, and he asked to re-consider, he had a public relations storm with 4 groups of owners if he withdrew and scratched everything else today, so they stayed in and ran. There was no joy from them. My boss, the owner of Rover and Drover, Exposure, Clover, Sober and some others known more for their real names and not the apparent espionage swapping of titles, arrived on course to be told by the trainer staff what had happened, and an apology. He laughed, it's just a game he said, just an interest, until the hearing when he was told, in the pre-amble, that Rover, and perhaps Drover, could be outed, was there subterfuge or deception, was Drover going to run, he was bandaged, explain that, explain the thinking behind occupying a runner stall with the mammoth of the District, why is that not holding the stewards in contempt when the only reason, you say, was to inform the stewards by demonstration, that a runner purporting to be Rover was on course. There was some funny aspects to all of this, sadness too, which is may be what comedy is, sadness or tragedy re-visited really. The trainer said he had the best interests of his clients and his horses. The stewards maintained he did not. He had his best interests to forefront, and by substituting Drover for Rover had ridiculed the racing authority in the District. There were measurements mentioned, hands, weights, gender, the bandages, what were you thinking they asked his staff, tell us there is a problem then resolve it they said, don't do that, don't use Drover for that. The second steward is a big man, a full forward in a Riverina League some time previous, the stenographer is tiny, like 5 stone, and the steward got them to stand side by side for the benefit of the committee and he asked now, 'which one is Rover' and the trainer got it right, Rover is the girl he said, he was meant to add also something about the size but didn't. The steward did, it was he that bought the 'blue whale' counter phrase to the hearing. They laughed, and laughed again when the trainer asked for it to be explained. He got fined, he had to be monitored for a few months by the racing department, he had to submit his returns on time from now on and not when he thought he might, or remembered, it was acknowledged he was a horseman with the best interests of himself and his client secondary to that of his runners, it had to be explained to him that this was a compliment. He was left with three horses total, but was hopeful of attracting new business. My boss moved his to Warracknabeal, and consolidated his racing operations there. It got going too, they had some country cup wins, always the hallmark of success. He took the staff on course on easter Monday, a big day locally, for a sit down meal and some terrible music and good racing. Drover remained a pet, hanging around the workshop, and sleeping on the veranda of the old house, He was big, and shiney brown, and nearly always watched and over saw the unloading of the dozer, then you backed up and followed him to the pit, and over took him, they are pretty nifty in reverse those TD25s, really. Rover was sold on, to become a broodmare somewhere. Drover had a rival, size wise, when Rocker arrived in the District, trained by the school teacher in the one horse town further east, you saw those two trotting on the old railway embankment sometimes. He had raced, our Rocker, but he was a pet now. He was big too, the reason he is being spoken about really. Rockers parents had figured in Blamey Stakes and big efforts in Adelaide, Drover didn't have a pedigree really, just a past.

My own personal concern is that Betfair may not survive. Maybe I should ask David Walsh to turn his mind to penning a few words on the proposed changes? After all he and Zeljko & Co will be affected more than anyone else no matter what the change. Mike.

And if the others go arse up, and/or RacingNSW and RacingVictoria continue to ignore breaches of MBL, and NTRC continues to advise me to seek legal advice rather than find bookmakers in breach of, well everything legal and moral, and BF does not survive... do I? RacingVictoria neither responded to my complaint about Centrebet's proven breach of MBL (I provided screenshots) nor responded to my email requesting an acknowledgement of receipt of complaint - it is clear that the bureaucrats are covering the arses of the criminals; I have neither the energy to pursue them in the courts, nor the willingness to pay a lawyer to do so.

No point in continuing to post, or I'll get a reputation like Scotty had for after-the-event tipping. At least it was a poor day (which I'd forewarned of - a rocky ride compared to the SB place which seldom has a losing week, and never a losing month).

I backed the winner with 2 bookmakers; one (Neds) deducted 7.5% from the face value (10.5% of winnings), the other deducted 22% from the face value (29% of winnings). Sportsbet, who tend to be the fairest wrt deductions, deducted 12%. I've not named the cowboy because I'm not yet barred. But governments are not interested in that, just in taxing punters - don't fall for the line that bookmakers pay the tax; only need to look at how much turnover tax is paid if no-one bets, whether with the TAB or bookmakers.
