Could you handle this scenario?
The line chart below shows the performance of SYS3 since mid-October 2023, detailing its profits and losses. During this period, we have enjoyed an overall return on investment of 50%, and the system has made an impressive return of 466 points to Betfair SP.
However, it’s not all been plain sailing. For example, in another recent post, I explained how the system had to wait 83 days (from the 9th of January until the 1st of April) to reach a new high. This period saw an extended drawdown of 73.18 points. It’s worth reading about this in full here:
The question to ask is: could you handle waiting as long as 3 months to see a return on your investment? If you don’t have the patience to ride out extended barren spells, then horse racing is definitely not a recommended pursuit.
Let’s consider the above example and put it into a real-life example. Imagine if you had joined our service on January 9th, 2024. If you started with an advised bank of 200 (or 220 points) for SYS3 and decided to back £10 a point on Betfair, this would see an initial deposit of £2,000 or £2,200 into your Betfair account. Now, let’s fast-forward to March 10th, 2024. On this date, we reached a record drawdown of 73.18 points. So in this example, just after 2 months of joining our service, your original investment would be sitting at £730.18 in the red.
To rub salt into our wounds, the last bet that took us to a record drawdown was only narrowly beaten at 28/1. At this stage, it felt like SYS3 just couldn’t get a break, and the overall mood was certainly downbeat.
Needless to say, if you had joined on the 9th of January, you probably wouldn’t be feeling very happy about your original decision to join. However, let’s fast forward to the 1st and 2nd of April. Suddenly, things went from doom to boom! These earlier posts tell the story of what happened.
And just like that, we were breaking new highs again. Imagine if you had decided to give it until the end of March and then walked away. As it turned out, that would have been very unwise, as you would have missed out on recovering all of your losses. In fact, you wouldn’t just have been simply returning your losses; you would have missed out on lots of points of profit as we raced from gloom to boom!
Having a strong mindset is vital to being able to hang in during the inevitable system downturns. I talk about this in much greater length in the Mega Mindset PDF, which is available to download here:
So the question to ask is: could you handle this scenario? Be completely honest with yourself. What would happen if you joined and, within a couple of months, you found yourself £700 in the red? Would you be able to hold your nerve, or do you think you’d quit? These are tough questions that you need to mull over before deciding if to join or not. While the system has posted some fantastic returns overall, as you can see from the below profit and loss chart, it's not all been one-way traffic. If you think horse racing is a licence to print money week in and week out, please think again!
