To Don Scott Ratings "Disciples"
 

Many here extol the virtues of Don Scott ratings, it all sounds very easy to follow and use one way or another to win / improve an existing system.

One thing I have NEVER seen posted here are the success rate of the TOP RATED nag, either Strike Rate or POT.

I cannot recall any evidence to back up the claims that Don Scott ratings are as good as people say. We have done the favouries S/R to death, barriers, ten thousand systems, jockeys, and on and on it goes, BUT NO analysis on Don Scott ratings.

I stand to be corrected ......

Uselessbettor (why the name by the way) might give us some info or I suppose you could check yourself with his free data base.
As a multiple bettor I,m not partiicularly interested myself but others might.

Test Another System

The Rules used were : donScottRank = 1

Thank you The Ocho. They're impressive figures for sure, much better than I would have thought.

With one filter applied.....

Reasonable results for one and two filters.... :cool:

Thanks Useless bettor!!

What was the filter?

Have emailed you Darc' :D

There are two filters Darkydog2002, and I'm pleased they've been kept quiet. Little subtleties like this surely must convince the unwashed that there is money to be made from system betting.

I have over 100 systems (none purchased) and have developed a couple of logical ones that are doing OK. There seem to be some on here that do show a decent POT ...... Why am I bothering saying this? 'Coz I'm going to give a bit back here, not posting my 'good' systems, 'coz my good systems might turn bad and cost someone their rent money, BUT in the guise of my last couple of posts where some decent information is to be had.

Chrome Prince's avoiding mares & fillies backing up in 7 days is gold.

There are some really smart dudes who have visited this forum over the years.

cheers

Sorry if I offended you DD, didn't mean to. Stix, you didn't need to be so harsh either mate.

You didnt offend me Barny.
