I guess i should stop "lurking" and actually post seeing as you are all talking about my site.
First off can i just say that originally i started this out as just a bit of fun so that i could check my systems while i was away on holidays. Since then it has just grown unbelievably.

I am also in the "IT Game" and my only goal with the site at the moment is to make enough money to keep the site running. Currently i run the site at a large loss.
Why?
Because it is an interesting hobby that keeps me busy and also so that others can build horse racing systems without having to have an IT degree.
If i could earn enough money to cover my costs from advertising then i would make the whole thing free.

I honestly don't know how this is possible. I have run MANY systems through that website and am pretty sure there are no bugs left *Oh god please let there be no more bugs left!*

If you can show me where the data is incorrect i would be most interested. The
"Win Amount (historical data only)" field is only there for people to check results against. Just incase someone doesn't think the data is accurate they can return all winners and check against the UNiTAB website.

It only does what you tell it to do. If you return < 11.01 then 0 is < 11.01. If you were to try (Between 1 and 11.01) i think you will find the results to be what you are looking for. Incidentally you will notice that the strike rate for the Place is not 100%, this is because there are some races (only a couple of runners) without a place dividend and if the place is equal to 0 then it counts it as a loss.
Anyway, i hope this cleared up some of the confusion and if there is something you would like added just let me know. I'm always keen on adding new features to the site.
Cheers
