I saw this when it was first broadcast.

After a round of psychic gymnastics I was here:

All is for the best, in the best of all possible worlds

-A thematic critique by Voltaire in Candide

I was unhappy with the darkness of the system, and thus subverted it. Curiously I found myself at odds with Voltaire, finding that indeed all must be for the best in this the best of all possible worlds.

Basically I woke up to now again, and it was good.

Mathematically, consciousness must be at the zenith of all, without exception. Mustn't it?

Addendum:

Ah yes! I found this and held it to be, because I discovered to take the system as a play on the nature of the individual and the /individual consciousness.

Thus finding a light. Sweet.

So what did you make of it Anno?

So basically its just bollocks and there is no system, as I suspected.

The first video he says he has a system to predict the winner every time.

In the last video he admits he has to get someone to bet on every single horse.

My guess is that in the final race, the show betted 4000 on every horse then they did they old switcheroo on the ticket and then filmed Derren telling he had bet on a different horse to what she thought.
