Just a few thoughts on not winning:

The overall success rate of punters has not improved since the invention of 'databases'.

There is nothing new about 'ratings' [they have been around since gambling begun in the murky waters of early history], they are called 'odds'.

Ratings are nothing new and the best are available free or for the price of the Sportsman, Wizard, Winning Post or even Best Bets or simply turning on your TV.

I'll wager any amount that paid for ratings are no better than what can be obtained free and that none of them can show an overall profit. Not a one [like a good wife or car, they wouldn't be for sale if they did].

Computers are brain dead and apart from a wonderful ability to store, cross reference
and even compute the best 'chance' according to input data, all computers are hopeless punters. Why ? Incomplete data that cannot be accurately gathered known as 'variables',which are as murky as mud.

When 'reason' goes out the window, so does your money and as yet there hasn't been a computer invented with enough of it to fit on the head of a pin and unique reasoning ability is required to make a profit on the punt.

The tote average winning SR is about 30%. Not enough to come out in front, but probably as good as anything available that can be bought.

The rating order as defined by the tote prices are the result of combined punter opinion. Better than this is up to each individual punters reasoning prowess through interpretation of any amount of freely available data.

No amount of money spent on any service will turn a loosing punter into a consistently winning punter. The best of them can improve your bottom line and all of them sold as 'roads to riches' are after your $2500 [or more] to improve their inventors bottom line !!!

Cheers.
