Nigel, its all depends really. I have known 6 selections in one day, then you would get none for the next 2 or 3 days. The best bet would be to put on your watch list all prices of favs at 2.8 or below when checking in the morning, then look at these races again shortly before the off to see if they meet the criteria for a lay.

Hi Nigel,
Actually you can use both methods and still make a profit. As i know via another forum that some users actaully use oddschecker and if they fav is odds on there they will lay it even though it maybe over 2.0 on betfair. I have monitored this in a small way myself and i checked the fav on the bookmaker live odds about 10 mins before the off, and if it was showing odds on there but not on betfair i would still lay it for the purposes of the experiment. I actually made over a 15 points profit in the space of a month, and over 13 points using it accordiong to the rules. However, i still prefer to stick with all the filters outlined in the book.

The important point to remember when using little acorns Nigel is that when you first start it does take time to build up profits, unless you start with a few winning lays. The staking sequence will bring about eventual profits. I started on £5 lays and moved up to £20 lays. I did have up to 7 losing lays once since April, so long as you start small and build up profits can really build, you did need bags of patience during some months but i have to say its definetly worth it! I have followed a lot of laying systems that promise thousands but they never work in the end, so i decided to drop my expectations to a realistic level and due to all the positive publicity little acorns has been given i thought they must be doing something right and so far so good!

Boy! There has certainly been a lot of posts regarding Little Acorns, and to be fair i am glad, as it's the only system worthy of discussion. I haven't posted for sometime for one reason or another, but forum members will know i have been using it for over 3 years (I believe i was one of the first to buy it!). Anyway, i thought i would bring matters up to date and let users know of my yearly performance.
2008
JAN = +29.90 pts
FEB = +33.10
MAR = +24.00
APR = +21.80
MAY = +25.50
JUN = +12.30
JUL = +13.30
AUG = +4.00 (had 7 losing lays on the bounce)
SEP = +14.20
OCT = +13.60
NOV = +12.00
DEC = +12.90
JAN 2009 SO FAR = +£6.80
Now i work in £50 lay units, so i will leave readers to work out how much i have made. However BE WARNED!. It has taken me 3 years to build up to this level organically. By this i mean re-investing winnings rather than using my own money. You can make more if you invest or start with more, but i prefer to use money already won rather than my own and would suggest new users start small- very small.
On the matter of losing sequences if they occur, i look at it this way. My National Express shares are down to around £5.60 at present, compared to over £12 3 years ago. So how long will it take for them to reach those dizzy height again? Years i would assume. So with Little Acorns, if you do have a losing sequence it may knock you back about 5 or 6 weeks, but hey thats nothing in comparison to how long my shares will return to anywhere near approaching what they were 3 years ago. So its a definite long term winner for me so long as you view it as just that - long-term. See it as a nice little nest egg quietly building up in the background. Then you wont go far wrong.

Todays selections;
I got 1.20 Lingfield: Theatre Street (Qualified before 10am)
1.50 " Mutamared (qualified before the off)
I am exhausted Now!

2 lays today ;one winner ,one loser....snap tie and special occasion.
would be interested to know if anyone thinks there were more than these opportunities.

hi Charlie

3 qualifiers for me today

burton point won we lost
annies answer lost we won
house of bourbon lost we won

So in 5 days i've had 9 bets ,5 of which have been winners for me and i think i missed one potential further winner.
Am laying £20 at the moment and am up £20 in total....i really can see the benefit of this and look forward to being able to raise my lays to your level and start to generate a meaningful income stream.

Hi Jaylees
What you recommend is undoubtedly sensible however i'm prepared to take the risk by starting with £20 lays on the basis of the statistics Charlie posted a couple of days or so ago which indicated winning months throughout 2008.
Two lays today
fiendish flame won we lost
dance and dance lost we won

What really appeals to me with this system is it's 'common sense', approach based on the fact that as the bookies always win, laying filtered odds on shots must be profitable in the medium/long term.

I do accept though that it requires discipline and there is no point in frittering away profits by betting outside of the system.

I forgot to mention, but it's worth bearing in mind, that you won't necessarily achieve exactly the same results with this system as someone else does.
Due to the variation in prices, you may not always lay exactly the same races that they do, and you may very well lay at a different price, so some variation in results is quite possible.

£70 a month!!

That hardly seems worth turning the computer on for.

Its just that goldie seems quite happy with that figure for the foreseeable future. No rush? If I was using this I would want to be accelerating the lays as quickly as my betting bank would allow.
