Lay experiment with small fields.
 

My neuralmania system is currently doing quite well. One of the rules is that there must be 10 or more runners.

So for races with 9 runners and less I'm experimenting with a method that applies a slight twist to the neuralmania system. I hope/expect that due to the "small" fields that the smiles are not too "small"

Today's selections: ($33 Lay liability on each)

Correction - the selection for Gundagai race 5 is no.6, not no.3.

From the 26 selections there were 25 smiles for a profit of $0.48.

I am tightening the rules, which still provided/s enough selections not for me to hopefully lose interest. There were 15 of them for 15 smiles for a profit of $13.83. The average smile was just a little less than a dollar.

I'm adding to the method. Not only laying but also an each way, Win and a boxed Quinella methods.

I looked at the Each-Way, Win and Quinella results for the past three days and it doesn't seem too bad, especially the Each-Way method, which unfortunately there are no qualifiers today.

The 5 lay selections lost for a profit of $9.67.

The box quinellas all lost, and there were 2 winners from the 15 Win selections for a return of $14.80, or $17.01 on Betfair.

We'll see how the methods go today:

Mackay
LAY:2/7 and 5/9

Bet: 2/1, 2, 4, 5
Bet: 5/2, 7, 8

Yarra Valley
LAY 8/13

Bet: 8/ 2, 3, 4

Tamworth
LAY 3/6 and 4/8

Bet 3/1, 3, 4, 7
Bet 4/1, 2, 3, 4

I might bet them on Betfair for $5 each.

Not a bad day. The five Lay selections were beaten for a profit of $7.15.

The outlay for the Bet method was $21 and the return on Betfair was $26.84 for a profit of $5.84.

The 4 Lay selections were unplaced for a profit of $4.67. I was also able to Lay them to Place on S.P. for a profit of $21.48.

The winner was struck in the 4 races for a profit of $4.42.

Even though the Bet system has won each day for the three days I've listed the selections here I've currently lost interest in it. However I might one day revive it.
