What's in a digit
An Anatomist will tell you a digit is a finger or a toe, Astronomers will tell you a digit is a twelfth of the Sun or Moon's diameter, but I will tell you a digit is any number from Zero to Nine.

Now here is the interesting part.
 Take any number multiply it by 9;
For instance 9 X 123

    1 2 3
  X 9
  1 1 0 7


Convert to a single digit as shown below

1 + 1 + 0 + 7 = 9
Try this yourself pick any number if you find one which breaks the rule,
Email me and I'll send you a cheque for the Number x £??????.
Here are some more which you may find interesting.

1X9=9 123456789 X   9 = 1111111101
2X9=18 123456789 X 18 = 2222222202
3X9=27 123456789 X 27 = 3333333303
4X9=36 123456789 X 36 = 4444444404
5X9=45 123456789 X 45 = 5555555505
6X9=54 123456789 X 54 = 6666666606
7X9=63 123456789 X 63 = 7777777707
8X9=72 123456789 X 72 = 8888888808
9X9=81 123456789 X 81 = 9999999909


That's multiplication now lets have a look at some interesting numbers using addition, taking each of the nine digits from one to nine. Look a these interesting sums below ! no I mean really look at them.

 

 

 
  3 1 8
+ 6 5 4
  9 7 2
  3 1 7
+ 6 2 8
  9 4 5
  1 5 4
+ 7 8 2
  9 3 6
  2 1 6
+ 7 3 8
  9 5 4
 
  2 4 5
+ 7 3 6
  9 8 1
  7 5 4
+ 1 8 2
  9 3 6
  6 7 3
+ 2 4 5
  9 1 8
  7 4 8
+ 2 1 5
  9 6 3

 

 

 
  2 3 5
+ 7 4 6
  9 8 1
  2 1 5
+ 7 4 8
  9 6 3
  3 4 1
+ 5 8 6
  9 2 7
  2 4 3
+ 6 7 5
  9 1 8

Ok you say but what has that got to do with me and my life in everyday terms. So lets take TIME and put it under the mathascope.

On second thought.
1 Hour = 60 seconds X 60 Minutes = 3600 seconds (single digit 9)
1 Day = 3600 seconds x 24 hours = 86400 seconds (9)
1 Week =86400 seconds X 7 days = 604800 seconds (9)
1 Year = 604800 seconds X 52 Weeks = 31449600 seconds (9)

Ok! Ok! that's it I don't want this turning into a discussion about whether our lives are predetermined or not.

I also worked for many years in a Bookies, I cannot mention their name because this is a commercial free site, did I also mention,
I own an IBM computer and wear Nike runners.

Getting back to the horsey connection, I have often been asked if there is a system that's guranteed to make money on backing horses, the answer is yes, see link at bottom of page.
