And Andy is correct –  nobody makes money by exclusively betting favorites.  ‘PRICE’ is the name of the winning horseplayer’s game.  But how in the heck do you catch those big payoffs often enough to really pad your bottom line?

It’s tough, no doubt about it, which is why many players rely on systems or methods that are geared to finding long prices.  There are plenty of good ones out there, like Profit Pattern Longshots, Dan Speller’s Hidden Treasure and Bankrobber Methods, etc.

☛☛But if you don’t want to do all the figuring required, we have just come across the best Longshot Methodology we have ever evaluated.  It’s called The Mark III Super ROI Longshot System!

Authored by Bruce Markham, this method employs a proven ‘pattern’ that steadily (for a longshot system) puts you on boomer prices.

Below is the intro from the original text from Bruce.  When we first read it we said, ‘Man, this guy is confident!’  And, turns out there was good reason for that confidence, trust us.  Note where he talks about certain patterns he discovered that uncovered these big priced winners.

☛☛The primary pattern, it appears to us, is a total trainer ‘set-up’ move.  While it could occur naturally, that would be rare.  Why, for example in the Big Tentations example below, would a trainer enter a 118-to-1 horse in a big Stakes race?  A horse that missed by a head, by the way.  So he had to either be one of the dumbest trainers of all time, or he ‘knew’ something.  We are certain it is the latter.

Remember, most average trainers don’t eat or pay their rent unless they win purses, as well as, in many cases, cashing big bets occasionally.  And this pattern is downright scary accurate, as far as we can see in our 17 year long database, and has produced big prices on a steady basis.

Q & A

Q.  Does Mark III give a play in every race?

A.  No, Mark III is a spot play system that averages 3 to 4 plays on an average 9-race card.  The required longshot pattern only fits horses the system feels have a very good chance of beating their odds.

Q. What is the biggest price Mark III got in your database study?

A.  It was $221 a couple years ago at Gulfstream.  You obviously won’t get a lot of $100+ horses but they do happen.  The average win mutuel is in the $33 range.

Q.  How often does a play hit the board? 

A.  A long-price selection (8-to-1 or higher) will run 1st, 2nd or 3rd close to 35% of the time, so playing to place and show make sense, especially when you are looking at a play that is 12-to-1 or higher on the morning line or nearing post time.

Q.  Do shorter priced selections win as well?  And should you bet these?

A.  Yes, you will hit many shorter priced horses, win, place and show.  Often a 5-to-1 shot (the minimum odds to qualify as a selection) is bet down because of scratches, etc.  So you will hit winners in the $5 to $11 range as well.

Q.  Is the bankroll management strategy that is included hard to use?

A.  No, it is dirt simple, and provides the player with a safety hedge against losing streaks.  Using this strategy will result in a higher overall ROI than making just flat wagers.

Q.  How about Exotic wagers?

A.  It makes perfect sense to include the selections in your exotics.  Don’t go overboard, but having one of these price horses in your Exacta, Trifecta, etc., will definitely make your day, or week, for that matter.
