ideas ?

[Mr. Logic]

From my experiences with ordinary punters who use systems I'll tell you what punters expect from systems.
1.Something that costs them next to nothing.
2.Something that requires no effort or input from them.
3.Something that turns a few dollars into a fortune.
4.Finally, something if it doesn't work so they can blame everyone and anyone else but themselves.
In other words,the lazy person's road to riches.

Ok, I'll bite...

My idea of the ideal betting system is really a system of automatically inputing some historical records, being able to weight each metric, and come up with a value for each horse. That's step one. Step two involves downloading/entering the races for a day and their previously calculated value. Further weights are incorporated for various metrics (jockey, barrier, wins @ distance, wins @ track, etc), to provide a final value for each horse. Based on these final values we need to plug the amswers into an appropriate betting strategy...

Simple, right? My problem is data entry time & betting strategy based on horses chosen. If a system can help in these two areas then I'd look at it - but it must be EXTREMELY customisable... Not really a racing system so much as a data entry program

$55,000 plus possibly more unseen expenses for a winning horse betting system?
Raising that sort of money seems like a catch 22 to me.
Punters have been burnt by so many "winning methods" they are not willing to fork out large sums.
The vast majority of people do not have $55,000 to risk. If they do have a spare $55,000 then putting it into a few blue chip shares makes much more sense.
