shoto, in a way, but I use a mechanical selection method first to give me the base selections then work on it from there.

eg. (and this NOWHERE near how I select, just an eg.) say you only take horses quoted on racing radio as even mony shots, now we all know that the S/R will be somewhere near 47-48% resulting in a slight LOT. But if you use them as base selections only and then iether rate them youself, or apply filters, or only back em when you can get 5-4 or better etc etc. MAYBE you can turn a profit and if not you certainly should't lose much.
