Went to Wyong races a couple of weeks ago.I always like Wyong,they make good chips with enough salt to double your blood pressure,lol no wife in tow so I doubled up on them.

What was interesting I ran into an old friend who works on the tote there.We had a cup of coffee and sat chatting to each other for a while.I asked her if she was getting plenty of work?

Answer,,,"Not a lot Bill" Question "Why"
Answer,, No "overs" these days!!!This is from a woman who has worked on racecourse totes for over twenty years.She said a few years ago there would have been at least a dozen private booths for professional punters,today there is only one.

The professionals that are left have moved offshore.Therein lies a lesson for all of us.Particularly those of us in NSW where this rapacious government grabs every last zac that they can get their hands on.

Don Scotts value revolution was brilliant in its day.That day has long gone.You can sit at your computer for hours doing ratings,and if you are doing them right your top four selections will be the top four horses in the betting.It's a waste of good time.

As several people in addition to myself have said earlier in this thread,,,"look elswhere for your value horses,and look elswhere for your value odds"!!!

There are still good $$$ to be found out there.Wasting valuable time with ratings isn't one of them..

Good luck,,Good Punting
