"Underpants", "crack", "hidden factors", oh my god, VDW must be turning in his ink pot.

Epi
I wish you the very best.

I have a selection for tomorrow

3.30 Tow

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ.

I'd like to feel one of Fulham's arms, imagine anybody needing VDW to tell them that weight is connected to distance. Maybe the poor guy lived all his life in a wheel-chair, in which case I'm sorry I teased him about such outrageous ignorance. Do you think he knows that horses are quadrapetal and eat grass, I dont think VDW drew attention to those details either. Wow! the number of hidden factors one cant even dream of.

Yeh man i know what you mean....Gi's another drag.

Investor: Even as a small child you must've carried various articles of differing weights over different distances, sometimes walking, sometimes running. Fulham claims to be a professional historian yet is so inept at learning from his own history.

Fulham remains an outstanding case. I've visited around 40 countries and know thousands of people but I never met anyone who comes within a flying spit of Fulham for disparity of self assessment and actual ability.

Epi
yes mate,Whatever you say.

Investor: If you cant follow my posts yet have "got to grips with the method" I'd say that was further evidence for the triviality of said method.

Result

5 October.

Hot Shots won, 11/4 fav ( 4/1 3rd fav in RP bf).

Travel, unplaced.

HS, the winner was top Best RPR (140),

& top OR , 129

way ahead on the money and value of races run and won this year.

Doing all that bollocks of Winning prize money, divided by number of wins, divided by age,

Travel scored slightly higher than HS.

Also, T's last three form figs were 1,2,4 which I took to be "better" than HS 1,0,5 ( for the purpose of this experiment).

That's why I listed T as well as HS.

" Class will out". Perhaps.

Sorry,

I forgot to tell Investor that I didn't have a bet in the race.

Looking forward to seeing the selections of all!

I'll just keep banging away till we have about 40 days worth of results.

Sometimes it is worth delving that little bit deeper,The evidence was there.

Hello Boys,

Its coming up to that time of year again, The cruising season is all but over and there is real money to be made in the coming months. Reading over the last few months posts it is apparent that some have made good progress, new faces abound Snow Knight, Nessie, Seanrua all have the capacity to go the whole way.

EPIGLOTIS,

What a great idea the challenge is, a 15% strike rate will not see me winning any cups, but the bank roll is ready and there will be at least a couple of bets over the coming weeks.

An aspect of vdw's writings that I haven't seen mentioned on the forum were in relation to training ones subconscious.

vdw quote "tell it you want to be a successful punter,and it will show you how".

It was mentioned on page 10 of betting the vdw way,in a chapter called the myth of the missing link.

VDW stated he never wrote anything for the sake of it.Is this more significant than it gets credit for.Does anybody have an opinion on it.How does one train their subconscious?

Epi,
I have no problem going with the 80% thread again,if others wish to.

Hi Pipedreamer,

It was only last year that I really found out about this Subconscious mind thing; it works!

Being unable to recover from an accident I had in 1999 ( I was a miner), it would be true to say that I was ( maybe still am, but hope not) the most cynical of bastards!

When a guy gave me a book, " The Power of the Subconscious Mind", I thought, here we go, some more bullshit.

I was wrong; it's been a great help. Some things can never be repaired, but I'm getting there.

Where's there? Well, we each decide that, then, let the power, that's in us all, work it out.

In my own case, I tell myself:

" Success, Happiness, Health, Wealth", any old time, over and over.

No force, no striving, no "will power".

Give the fertile garden ( the subconscious mind) the right input, and the plants grow.

Poison the garden with negatives like failure, disgruntlement etc, and we'll make sure we flop and **** all grows for us.

I wish I'd known about this when I was young. I thought it was bollocks, but it's not!

Most of us humans are not fullfilling our desires because we don't realise what powers we have. Sad, but true.

Sean,

There was a v popular song during WW1 that I ve always liked to remember when things have been black.

"Pack up your troubles in your old kitbag and smile boys, smile!"

The satisfaction after surviving/succeeding is huge.

Pipedreamer and PKBoy: I will start a dedicated thread today, of course everybody is welcome and their participation warmly encouraged. I dont want to be involved in the thing for months so as outlined above I'll initially run it for two weeks, if at that point it's proving worthwhile I'll either continue myself or hopefully someone else will shoulder the burden.

PD,

It, as Sean has suggested, is all related to positive thinking. Positive people do positive things, negative people do negative things.

"whatever the mind of a man can conceive or believe, it can achieve."

I can remember my old man telling me over and over again that "if you want something bad enough boy, you'll eventually get it. Don't listen to anyone that tells you any different."

He was a positive person and it was his way of saying that only listen to positive people; by listening to the negatives in this would you will be held back.

positively " everything you need is in the form book"
negatively "not telling you - its in the form book"

Epi,

Here are the horses i went over yesterday:

Byron
Darasim
Double Vodka
Lochbuie
Mephisto
Pegwell Bay
Roushayd
St Andrews
Top Dirham

Ive noticed something that runs through them although a couple are slightly different
that`s why i asked the question about how far we need to go back through a horses form to confirm the consistency part.

Lee also said that Impeller & Maraahel came close but lacked consistency.
If i am correct in my assumption then these two in themselves suggest that one has to go through a horses whole career to guage the consistency.
Hopefully someone will clarify one way or the other.

Wed, October 6.

No VDW qualifying race today.

Class of racing looks low.

Suits me, as I like Lingfield AW and hope to get a winner there.
