Hi all,

The thread is a little cool but I'd like to make a comment. Osulldj, I think you are absolutely spot on. You comments have had me completely reassess the notion of what the "right" race is. I'd suggest all readers heed his comments.

Crash, you said:
/
I would like to know who the 'originator' of 'hadicapping/pricing' skills was who 'gave it away' because it's now 'irrelevant' ?
/

I would venture that it was Don Scott, whos books "Winning" and "Winning More" brought punting into the modern age of value betting. As gunny72 said and I would concur, he gave it away when the bookies and everyone else was onto him (probably a result of his first book!).

Crash, you also stated that:
/
So what did the 'Originator' come up with to replace those now irrelevant skills ? I'm all ears.
/

Its not so much as his weighting system is irrelevant, it is just that everyone is doing it, all but eliminating value. That is why Osulldj's comments are so important - the value punter now needs to look for that loophope that the 'educated' punter is missing - a much harder task than in the days of Don Scott, surely!
