Just watched Derren Brown: The System on Channel 4.

In case you didn't, he basically convinced random people to bet on random horses in races, each time picking the people who won, and asking them to bet on another, and then taking the peopl who won again.
Eventually he had just one woman who had won 5 races in a row, thinking that she was alone and was betting on a perfect system (While around 7,000 other people had actually failed on the system!!)
So she bet £4,000 of her own money on the final horse, which he admitted he had no way of knowing if it would win.

The short story is; it did win, and she went home with £13,000

The question is:

"How the DonFuck does Derren know which horse would win that final race?"


That guy's a genius, I swear he can explode stuff with his mind!

Yeah he's done some crazy stuff.

There's one where he loses the bet on a racing hound but then tells the person at the desk to pay out... and they did o.O

I had a system for winning Roulette.

I won $93 using it, then I discovered that it's a recognised system (or combination of recognised systems) and it doesn't actually work!

And then I won another $35 using it.

Now i'm just scared!

It was the probably the favourite in a 4 horse race.

I reckon he had 3 other tickets in his pocket though thats why he went up and placed the bet

Well I thought that, but he gave her the ticket after he placed the bet, and she held it the whole time
