Since September 2014 I have been bigging up the 3-5-8 System but I have also deliberately made sure to tell you that the Lay Ladder is a high-risk strategy.

The inevitable happened…

We had three consecutive winners between July 5th and 7th. If you have been operating the Lay Ladder since January 2016 you would still be sitting on a 35 point profit, so it is still a good return.

Add that to the 254 points profit made between September 2014 and December 2015 and that’s not a bad haul is it?

For those of you undertaking this higher risk route, you have had that shot across the bows. There will be a losing sequence.

And as my close showbiz pal Dame Vera Lynn always highlighted (“Don’t know where, don’t know when”), it could happen tomorrow or it could happen another 15 months from now.

If you cannot cope with the inevitable big drop in profits, then do not play high-risk!

There is good news, though.

From September 2014 to December 2015, Laying all selections at all odds produced a profit of 16 points.

In 2016, Laying all selections at all odds to level stakes has produced a current profit of 81 points.

Therein lies your alternative, and lower risk, method of still profiting from the 3-5-8 System.

Personally, I will continue with the Lay Ladder despite the recent kick in the vernaculars. I hope that the long periods of profit continue.

What else has caught my eye, results-wise, over at the WRWM website?

Price Gapper 5+

Head on over to the Racing Testing Lab and you’ll find the Price Gapper 5+ strategy. By focusing on selections at evens (2.00 decimal) and over, you’d have made 21 points profit this year. Not bad.

Lay the Favourite in the biggest field of the day

One of my favourite strategies from the Racing Testing Lab is this strategy with a 37 point profit for 2016.

I must say though that growth has been stagnant since May 3rd this year. Still, it is delivering the long-term performance we crave.

Lay the Big Fave

Lay the Big Fave’s profit graph has been as volatile as Donald Trump’s hair on a particularly blustery day.

I am sticking with this strategy though, which is back into profit with a two point profit for the year, after a series of good results. To put it into perspective, on the June 15th, the bank was 14 points in the negative – now it is two points in the positive.

This is why I stick with Lay the Big Fave. A serious of profitable Lays will boost the bank as you have seen, and over a year I think will engender that long-term profit.

Handicap Price Gappers

As I have noted in the What Really Wins Money newsletter, the profits with this strategy can be skyrocket by Laying selections at odds of between 2.00 and 3.00 decimal odds.

So far, in 2016, we’ve made a 27 point profit – which is excellent, Laying between this very thin price band.

If you think I am using this filter in order to try and engineer a profit for 2016, let me tell you that in 2015 you’d have made a whopping 55 point profit laying Handicap Price Gappers at odds of between 2.00 and 3.00.

So it seems, we have found that long-term profit maker with the Handicap Price Gappers.

There is little to report from the all-weather strategies because, quite simply, there has been little in the way of all-weather racing.

These are my standout profit makers at www.whatreallywinsmoney.co.uk.

I’d love to hear from you, particularly if you are using the Doubling Your Betting Bank strategy at the Racing Testing Lab. This strategy has great potential. And also if you are utilizing the 3 into 1 Evens Bet from the Football Testing Lab.

I feel these two ideas have long-term potential. Let me know how you have been getting on with them.

Next week, I will be looking at the performance of those ideas I have which are yet to make it to the Racing Testing Lab.
