Thanks for answering Woof. I don't think I follow it really, but since we both agree that going against the crowd is the key to success then I reckon YOU must be on the right track. I'll continue reading your posts until some lightning bolt finally illuminates those dark (SD-free) spaces inside my skull!! Cheers.

If your meaning Standard Deviation, then think of races when you have assessed a race an find when you average all the runners StdD an this average is in the top 3rd percentile group (because its high or Wide) of all your past races you know you can go deep with all your wagers as this will be a volatile race.

Or not having to study videos to see which runners suffered interference because you can see by its StDev how tight it behaves and in what situations it becomes stable...

Its application is only limited by our thinking

plus there are more on the wagering side of the coin..

Can you give an example?

In race 6 at Traralgon dogs the crowd have gone for no. 7, but i've gone against the crowd and bet on 2,5,6.

Hi
I recorded for 12 months every dog race in WA re for quad system.
I am only going from memory now but on prepost prices Dogs A B C & H boxed did better than dogs A B C &D boxed but only broke even The couple of big wins when the H dog won made it difficult to leave out of the first two legs. The A B C &H had almost as many wins as the A B C &D but better prices. The A B C with E F &G progressively got worse but for some reason the long shot snuck in the first four.
I saw a lot of work just to break even.
