I have a couple of questions for the so called experts (aka bullies)

1. Is there more probability that a profitable system can be developed by watching race by race and betting as close to jump or can the average joe make the some money by a system after scratchings

2. If Q1 is yes, a good system must be developed around a couple of factors
- price and speed analysis or track bias.

3. In order to incorporate a good system ratings must be used.

4. If yes to Q3, are you betting to overlay.

5. To the punters that bet to overlay. I still don't understand the logic behind someone using ratings and betting over the price. Basically if you have a system that uses ratings and generates a $3.00 chance. If you can find a $4.00 price you would back it. If $2.50 leave alone.

Example: A system based around ratings has a Strike Rate of say 30% on the top rater. If you are betting to price, how often do you find a strike rate lower than the average for overs and a higher strike rate for unders.

Punters thoughts?
