This Might Work
 

UNITAB or R+S Ratings or Eva ratings /Shauns Ratings

Selections are the 1st /3rd and 5th rated.

Cheers

I will be straight up with mine when they start to fire the top 2 SR is better than the other 3 comnined.

smokescreen was a good horse, remember that one?

Just an observation. If a ratings system is producing better results with the 1st, 3rd and 5th rater, wouldn't you not adjust the weightings behind the rules of variables to try and get the 3rd and 5th sitting as 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Or is it the 3rd and 5th have lower strike rates but better value?

Regards

I,m looking for better Value and needing minimum $4 on any of them.
My feeling is that really good priced winners i.e $16 + make up will make up for the losers I,m bound to get along the way.The other prices will be the bread and butter.
I,ve found that my yearly profit consists of striking the longer priced occasionally.

Shaun I,ve noted your comments on the top 2 and thanks.In your case I,ll accept $3 minimum.

Cheers

I am just doing some research in my data base. 16+ runners in the $2.10-2.50 range second fav 12.63%. =8 runners same range 24.44%. in the $2.60 -3.00 range 12.75% and 23.65%. in the $3.10-3.50 range 16.55% and 22.09%.
The average overall for 2nd fav is 19.33% 1st has a 18% swing over these price and field ranges but that has to be expected. 3rd has only 3% variance 4th has 5.6% variance and we are talking 7.68% to 13.09%. These figures definately support 3 and 5. Beton

Thanks Beton

You measure your handicapping/ratings by strike rates and you should have a smooth transition right thru the range,
Wagering, will have patchy results thru the range.

It's best to try an understand if your trying develop a rating system based on handicapping factors or a wagering system

Barny, you are now also on notice. You have been TOUd for this post. It is not constructive and baits another member. If you object to someone's post then send in a TOU. No more warnings. Take care. Thank you. Moderator.

It takes half a second to ignore any post that you are not happy with. If his posts help one person then all his bad posts can be forgiven. We don't have to go too far back to when your posts were getting rubbished. Yet some of your posts did contain some valid points. I like most people here read the posts and work out for ourselves which ones we heed and which ones we ditch. I for one do not like the bitchiness that constantly raises it's ugly head.
It does not do you any justice and it does not help anybody.
