It's well documented that I'm Scottish.
All I'm saying is I don't think there's much money in using primary data from a web site. I believe such information has already been accounted for in the starting price.
Say you look at the career rating of horses in the ratings section of the excellent R&S site. If you just bet the top rated every time then I guess you'd lose money.If however you applied some kind of personal addendum....maybe .... if any horse is zero rated it's a no bet race, and the gap from top rated to 2nd rated must be more than 5.0. OK now you've got secondary data that only a couple of other dudes might be using and now you have a chance. Percentage of bank wagers will soon tell you if you're on a winning strategy.
This is the sort of thing I do. Nothing fancy, I just tried for freakin' years until I found what works.
