Good morning...
Not a happy bunny at the moment...
We had a lot of snow last week.
However, Thursday was warm and that snow started to melt.
Thursday night was well be low zero and that melted snow froze.
I woke up on Friday morning to a see of ice in the market square.
I thought to myself...
"No going out for me today; only a complete muppet would risk life or limb out there."
Just after lunch I became a complete muppet.
I managed the 30 yards to the village shop and, 28 yards of the route back.
Then I hit a patch of ice and went arse over tit.
I now have a bruise the size of Belgium just below my left knee.
As a result, I am living on a diet of Paracetemol and Ibuprophen.
And, no matter, how I sit, my knee starts throbbing and aching.
However, I did manage to get some work done and have come up with a rather nice win bet system based upon R8.
Over the last 5 years of data it shows about 1 bet a day, a 44.74% strike rate and an 18.38% profit on stakes to ISP.
I shall be doing some more work on that today.
Compass Ratings
We had a good day at Sha Tin yesterday.
There were 11 races but, in 3 of them, our top rated horse was a non-runner.
From the remaining 8 races, 2 were won by our top rated horse.
11.60 points were returned to the 8 points staked.
Investment Betting
From Wednesday, I will no longer be sending out the Investment Betting selections to all Focus Ratings members.
If you still wish to receive the Investment Betting selections, just let me know and I'll put you on the list.
I do have to say that the selection process will be changing from the current R6 Plus based system to the new R8 based system that I mentioned above.
Diamonds and Gold
The Early Bird Ratings Diamonds and Gold selections are continuing their incredible good run.
Racing-Index.com shows a 46.0% strike rate and a 126.7% profit on stakes (to BSP, assuming a 2% commission.)
However, there was one day when we had 2 high priced winners and, of course, that was a day when I forgot to proof the selections.
Thus, the real profits on stakes is far higher.
