I think that bettors can be split into two broad categories!
There are the value backers who have an idea of what the price should be for their selection and if they can get that price they have a bet.
To these bettors, if the horse is backed heavily and the price shortens before they get on then they may not have a bet. Because the value has gone.
The other type use market movements to make their selection.
If they see a horse being heavily backed then they want to get on board the sure thing.
I've been reading the latest What Really Wins Money and Clive Keeling suggests a different strategy to pick winners based only on market movements.
He suggests that you look for a W movement!
This would be a horse that shortens then drifts and then shortens and drifts again.
He calls them W moves because the pricing graph makes a W shape.
I have no idea whether this would work over the long term but Clive gives a number of examples of winners.
What do you think, is it a crazy idea or does it have potential?
If you've got any views or experience of this let me know in the comments.
You can read a more detailed description of the method in this months What Really Wins Money.
By the way Mark had a winner and a non runner yesterday so more profit for Trainer Trends.

Well, it depends on the REASONING that a W makes a decent bet. I did click on the link to WRWM but this method isn’t mentioned there, it’s just a sales page.

Hi John
It’s day 20 of my Classic Racing experience and I’m just over 20 points down so far, so a bit disappointed but hopeful, it will return to form. I’ll post up at the end of my 1st full month.

There might be some truth in it.In the stock market a W or double bottom indicates that if you get on the start of the last upwave the share will go up and well beyond the top of the W ie a good time to buy.On the other hand the opposite applies to an M
