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.

In the late 1960s I fell in with a gang of 'Sloane Rangers' who, during the week, lived around Sloane square Chelsea and the at week ends thundered down to the M4 to join 'Mater and Pater' and the Gloucester horsey set. Soon, I realised I could some serious money from backing race horses. My next step was to join Weatherby's Secretaries to The Jockey Club. I assisted the Flat and National Hunt Pattern Race committees and was responsible for editing race conditions and the distribution of races across the UK. I was also a spokesman for the introduction of professional female jockeys under both rules. This was a solid bedrock on which to build The Adaptive System. I was unbelievably lucky to combine my passion with my occupation. The pay was peanuts and the only way I could financially survive was by backing horses. Eventually I decided to qualify and work as a Certified Accountant in industry. When the first version of The Adaptive System came out in 2007 it was accompanied by a website that offered tips based on the scoring system and accompanied by a brief rational for the selection. The Racing Post would not advertise my book until I proofed my results and then they did not accept the main then Cash Cow of The System, laying and then hedging by backing in running. Providing a tipping service is incredibly stressful providing winners seven days a week, week in, week out. I finally closed the site in 2010. The market is now flooded with betting books all 'promising riches beyond your wildest dreams', but The Adaptive System (revised 2017) still sets the benchmark with its scoring system. Although I still work part time as a business consultant I am now able to spend at lot more time track-side.
