Default Racing & Sports : Computer Racecards

I'm curious if there are other punters in the forum who have used or are still using Computer Racecards published by Racing and Sports. Have you found them useful?

I have been using them for about 3 months and I'm reasonably impressed with them. I haven't got enough time to go through all the form in the Sportsman, (I'm a Sportsman man - a great formguide). By the way I don't work for Racing & Sports OR the Sportsman. I'm just a regular punter trying to do my best at the game I love - Horse Racing! I just want to make the best of my punting and I'm always looking for new and fresh ideas that I can apply to making punting profitable as well.

Back to the thread. Racing and Sports (R&S) advertise their Computer Cards (CCs) with a caption of Strike Rate 26.7%. On the surface that seems to be quite a low Strike Rate (SR) given that favourites win upwards of 30%+ of their racing and we don't need to do any form. But the SR 26.7% for the top selection is across all meetings, all conditions, all everything. I mean do you really believe the 80% SR that some System Sharks claim? They are unbelievable! Anyway that is their business, good luck to them.

I have used the R&S CCs to play trifectas, quaddies, quinellas as well as simply taking "overs" on the assessed price. I've had mixed success. I have struck trifectas and quaddies in the $2,000 + range, not too often though, they are more like $200 to $500 range. I'm not complaining though at some stage each of these plays seem to level out and then become a slow but steady loss. I just can't quite "put it together" as far as using the CCs goes. I thought for what it is worth that I might make a posting to this forum in the hope that there may be some like minded punters who may wish to engage in an exchange of ideas. Sharing thoughts and inspirations on how they may have made the Computer cards work for them. By itself, the hope is a longshot. Any ideas?
