Anything that starts with 'ignoring value' is doomed to fail. Better to start with, 'finding value' Its very simple. You study form and a race and see what has a chance, what is the best value amongst that pared down field, back it, go and collect. The difficulty is to assess form. And take no notice of what anyone else says. They just repeat the same old tropes. Work it out yourself. If you do it often enough it becomes second nature, so that you can assess a race very quickly. A typical Saturday takes me around 6 hours to arrive at 6 to 12 bets. Onto exchanges, back whats value. Always ignore hype. Challenge every assertion and remember the pundits make their money from having an opinion, not backing winners. I watched a pundit on youtube justify a selection by saying it had dropped steadily down the handicap all season. I looked it up. 3lb. repeat, 3lbs. The winner, which I backed had dropped 17lbs over a season and a half. And been unlucky on the wrong side in big handicaps. Yes, you might fancy a horse, something that you are too lazy to study, but to dress it up as some kind of logical selection shows the nonsense out there.
