Good luck to anyone who runs it through a database, I wouldn't bother.
If proven wrong, I will stand corrected and ready to eat humble pie!

Don't think you'll be proven wrong Iomaca. I ran this through my database for all of 2005, just for the Saturday metro meetings and while the strike-rate was Ok @ 33.7% from over 500 selections, the loss amounted to 15.8% LOT with an average price of $2.50. |
