In my early days I always used Warren Blocks Ratings as did Don Scott in his later years.
Nowadays if I have the occasional punt I use the Don Scott R+S and Unitab.
Having a set of ratings though is no garuntee of success - one still has to achieve a decent price.And inmost cases one has to re rate the ratings to take into account factors that should have been put in but were,nt.

Re Mind numbing .To me sitting behind a computer screen 7 days a week on the chance that something of value comes up is certainly not joy of joys.

I,d been interested in your approach now that you now know mine.
