Thanks Mattio,
True it would be much cheaper than the $25,000 per year. Knowing my lack of success winnings would not help much.
I still think that Tabcorp should provide some option for its smaller punters in the form of a file of current runner dividends, even limited access to the RapiBet web service would do. After all I am sure there are a lot of punters who would welcome an opportunity to do their own thing with their personnel software.
