Racing Analysis
 

Does anybody know how people get jobs as Racing Analysts, cause i would love to know how people get these jobs as i would be very interested in becoming one.

Thanks in advance.

I know of one...you have to pass a test but its pretty easy ..

Good luck :)

Thanks Mav, i know of that one as well, i applied and did the test 2 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back as of yet. Rang them last Tuesday and they said they were still processing everything and i would DEFITNELY get a call/email
telling me if i was successful or not, but as of yet zilch.

Did you apply for it as well???

No but i have the test....looks to hard for me
..I've only been serious about this for a year...I'm still learning.

The test looks like they are after a certain type of Analyst....
I couldn't see me doing any good as my views and ratings differ from the norm...
I keep picking winners regardless...and have for the last year been very profitable... I leave for the states after easter Monday for a month courtesy of Mr Mark Read and to a lesser extent Unitab..

I was given some real good advice from a professional gambler...He said after you've had a good win...buy something !! Like a new Tv or Holiday or whatever ...because when you have your run of outs atleast you have something to show for it..
I have some property some good young horses ...and now only work part time.. looking at going to the West indies in a couple for the cricket world cup...
If Snitzel wins the Slipper I'll have it paid for ..

But getting paid for what you probably do anyway ....would be nice ..but i'd hate the pressure of getting it all wrong...
I put myself under enough as it is.. :)

Yea it's my dream job as well Testa. It's the type of thing I'd spend 16 hrs a day on for peanuts, just because i enjoy the process so much.

Hey Mav, is that ad for real?

And the aptitude test, do you have a copy? I wouldn't mind checking it out.

oh, years ago i had a chat with one of the big bookies about a job producing his ratings. he told me he usually hired ex-bookies, of which there are plenty. dissapointed the hell outta me :(

have it here somewhere Brave Chief.....i'll scan it and post it somewhere for us all to do..

I don't know if its all for real and all the details..but give them a ring and ask them... they seem all above board or else they'd have po box and mobile phone number :)

Great advice Mav, Me and Mylady are planning a trip to the States this year. I'm trying to talk her into going when Alinghi's going to race but she's not happy about that, want's me to have a breather, would love to get the overs they'd have her @ over there though.

Sorry to be a "Partypooper" but do you PAY, i.e $$$$ to do this so -called TEST????? i.e. is there $ coming out of your pocket (bank account) and going into "THEIRS" ? just, shall we say "interested"????

Nope doesnt cost..Partypooper...as far as i know you do the test they send you ..if you qualify your in....in what exactly ,,who knows ?

I can talk from experience - it is all legit. Good luck to all those who apply.

Hi Subzero,

How long did it take for them to get back to you after you had sent in the test, its been almost 3 weeks for me and still no word.

I suggest you contact Mark / Shelley Reed of International All Sports www.iasbet.com.au in Darwin.. They'll give you the drum.. Mind you to work for them you really need to know your stuff

Dear Testaroossa,

I am a qualified programmer and I would be interested in entering the racing industry as an Anyalist, do you have the details???

Regards

OzPunter

Any word Testa ?

Got the test in the mail this arvo. Interesting stuff, but doesn't seem too difficult.

No word still Brave Chief, rang again the other day and got the same response, "still processing, but will defenitely get a call when all is finalised".

Starting to give up hope!!!!

Well, I've been training for the last 2 weeks. I don't know your situation Testarossa, but my trainer told me they'll basicly only put on people from NSW now, unless they're spectacular.

Personally, I got lucky in that I live around the corner from a manager that has worked for the company for 8 years. I simply popped over to his place for an interview, and the training is one on one. Every one else has to go down to Sydney and do a 40 hour week long training program.

Job and company looks great so far.

Good on ya Brave Chief, you are lucky alright, i gave up a long time ago, good to know that the company is real and reputable at least.

As a matter of interest where abouts are you from??, i am from the Central Coast so i am definitely close enough, i would still love to get a job like this, maybe i should apply again.

Anyway keep me up to date on how things are progressing with yourself.

hiya Testa,

send an email to [bravechief29 at yahoo dot com] if you want more personal info from me. i'll ask my trainer if they are still recruiting, be happy to pass on your number etc. I can give you the low down on whats expected, the pay etc.

Its a lot more diffulcult then it first appears. You must learn the Humbleton method and get it down pat. I was supposed to do a meeting tonight, so far taken me 2 hrs to do 2 lousy races :( Think i'll watch Clockwork Orange instead.

Hey Chief I'd be really keen to hear any info on their bonus and penalty methods etc, I know a bit about what they do, but without the exactness. I'm at kingsandmadmen at hotmail dot com if you want to have a chat.
