Towards the end of 2000. enormous changes took place in the betting and horse racing industry. Betting Tax was abolished, you could lay a horse to lose on 'betting exchanges' through matched betting. It was possible to make and receive payments by using debit and credit cards. All transactions could be done on the internet and subsequently on your mobile device; you could bet 'on the wing'. It was possible to back and lay 'in running', and to bet on the place market only. The bookmakers andbetting exchanges introduced all sorts of new bets and enhanced existing variants. You can now watch a race on your mobileand replay it many times. On the the tracks, All Weather and floodlit racing was introduced. In the betting shops (for those who still wanted to go there) there were refreshments, toilets, televised racing and comfortable facilities.

It was against this exciting background that I wrote The Adaptive System, finishing the original version in 2007 Laying and the use of the internet were its two main platforms. Laying was 'like taking candy from a baby' - easy money.

Primarily aimed at horse racing in the UK and Eire, this innovative System works efficiently for any horse race under rules Worldwide. Indeed, sales in USA, Jamaica, Europe, Scandinavia, Hong Kong and Australia are surprisingly buoyant, whichproves the strength in depth of The System. Its methodology applies equally to the Flat (AW and Turf) and both the Summer and Winter National Hunt seasons. It covers both laying and backing and the lucrative place only market.

The System is well composed, clear and simple to follow with plenty of worked examples. The rational behind eachset of scores is concisely explained; some of it obvious, others will surprise you with their innovation and practical validity.In addition to The System itself the book covers staking strategy, betting bank management and the psychology of winning plusmany other methodologies.

Written for the serious punter whose aim is to trade for profit, not just for fun, this 85 page book book packed with useful andand original angles and information. It is not guaranteed to make you rich, but properly practised will be the best investmentyou can make in a horse racing system. It is a powerful tool to 'Butcher The Bookie' with and relieve him of the contents of hissatchel.

Frankel: Lib/E: The Greatest Racehorse of All Time and the Sport That Made Him
<p>In horse racing greatness is defined by speed. Being the second fastest counts for little. You have to win. And win. And keep winning until every challenger of your generation is put to the sword. Of the 12 horses lined up on Newmarket Heath that 2011 day, one would do just that. And more. To become the greatest racehorse that has ever lived.</p><p>Frankel was born on 11th February 2008, with four white socks and a blaze, from impressive equine lines on both his parents' sides. Simon Cooper revisits the whole of the horse's life, giving listeners an inside tour of the calm oasis that is life on a stud farm, where a foal will live with his mother for the first year of his life. Next, the atmosphere of heady possibility that marks the early days of training. Roadwork. Gallops. Trials. Turning raw potential into something more. Frankel begins to set himself apart.</p><p>A detailed and fast-paced narrative breathlessly recounts the racing career of the horse who, by his retirement to stud at the age of four, would be rated the greatest of all time. Cooper weaves the horse's tale with those of his trainer, battling cancer, the stablehands who coped with his explosive nature, the work rider who tamed him, the jockey who rode in all 14 of his races and the owner who saw his potential from the very beginning. The result is a rich and multifaceted tale of modern horse racing, the lives of everyone involved, human and equine, and the unadulterated glory of winning. And winning everything.</p>
