I like the idea of testing and use the QTAB site aswell....the problem with a data base is that it won't allowe you to stop when you are in front....ot maybe you like to bet on the best class of race for the day....one day this will be 5 G1 races and on another this will be a mix of classes and like you said when you are testing you see things you don't see in the data base

Firstly. I am a database devotee :wink:
Hermes is correct you don't need a database, but a database will very quickly let you see certain aspects and POT without spending hours of research.
It is how you use it, and the information contained therein, that is the key.
Shaun, a database will let you bet in any manner you choose if you tell it to.
Personally, I export my system to excel, then try various staking methods including stop at a winner for the day.
I can also bet on the best class of race for the day, or assess G1's on one day or 1Mw on the other.
It boils down to what you put into it and how you use it.
I am guilty of devoting countless hours in building it, but on the plus side, once the framework is there, I'll be able to use the same setup for years and it will save a great deal of time. The other benefit is I can trial my own various ratings over years of data at a time and find out if it's effective or not in 30 seconds.
