3.0 out of 5 stars The Chaldean System of Numbers, June 29, 2001

This review is from: Racing Numerology: A Standard System of the Science of Numbers Applied to Horse Racing (Paperback)

This book was written by "Mozan" aka C.M.Shah, in the 1930's. If you are a racing fan without a "system" this book may help you in choosing your horses. Be prepared, though, to spend some time in learning this system. The author was from India and wrote this book on the Indian system of betting, so be prepared to convert the Indian "symbols" to the American "symbols" for the races. After you have learn this part of the system, then you will need to learn how to convert the names of each horse in the race to numbers. After you become proficient with the conversion of names into numbers, you may need, most likely, at least 15 to 20 minutes to do each race. The author claims a winning rate of at least 80% per race day. The book has chapters covering the following: Numerical values of the alphabet; how to find the name value; how to work up a race; ruling figure of the day; a race fully worked up; abbreviations; etc. The book is broken down into two parts, part one covering 10 chapters, and part two covering 13 chapters. It has 90 pages. He lists many sample races from India. There are several charts that help with the initial learning steps. This book is definitely for horse racing fans who are willing to go that extra step for a possible big payoff. Be warned, though, it is a time consuming step. If this isn't a problem for you, then you may enjoy learning from this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult, time consuming but worth it!, March 7, 2003

I had forgotten all about this book but when I happened to see it here I thought I'd write a few words about it. My Dad spent the better part of 6 years studying this book in the 1960's because he had a friend that was very successful using it. It is/was written by Mozan in very broken English & difficult to understand. He became very good at picking winners using ONLY this book (he had no other interest in horse racing). Overall he was at about the 75% to 85% win range. Every once in a while you run into a special day when all the numbers line up & on those days he would go car shopping & pay cash with his winnings!
