Vortech yep I've been banging on about this for some time. Bit of a touchy subject I think as there's never much of a response.

The one or two of you :D who've been following the "Profiting from the Crowd" thread will know that you can profit from freely available ratings. You just need to know how to work with them. And I'm a self confessed non-ratings person :eek:

The key to ratings is to follow them exactly as they are given.
To try to outsmart the experts is a exercise in futility I submit.

True but with so many followers the value is gone.

Hi Gunny.

I posted one as well it has been winning since i started checking back on the 22/05/2012.
About a month later i started posting updates but it was pretty boring,
To me anyway, so i just check in with an update every now and then.

It is easy to use requires no form and everything is free,
From a couple of sites.

The funny thing here is the average starting price was $3.96,
From the 22/05/2012-31/07/2012.

FROM 01/08/2012 -17/08/2012 THE AVERAGE DIVIDEND IS $4.20.

I am pretty much convinced i think Mark made similiar comments you,
Are pretty safe posting something here without affecting dividends.

Since i joined haven't been here a long time, i find,
Posting ideas rather than systems makes for better,
And interesting reading to people on a forum

This is the only one i have joined or contribute to.

Cheers.
Garyf.

Agree vortech. I like this forum mainly to get and provide comment on ideas as well as to get stats from those generous members who have substantial databases.

I have done some analysis on the system I gave earlier. Since January the strike rate is 11% and the level stakes POT is 13%. With the progressive staking plan actually used the POT is 17%. This analysis is with real bets and putting on real money at the racetrack. I will just add that if there are two selections both are backed with half the stake. More than two selections forget the race.

Yesterday got two winners in br.

Sorry it should be garyf. I am reading the messages too quickly.
