This is a great post Kenchar, just the sort of insight I read this forum to see. I do take a little umbrage with your last paragraph however.

"This is the way I try to read odds, it doesn't always work BUT I will guarantee I
have LESS losing days than having a 10 year database and or doing the form everyday."

As a man who loves his (unfortunately limited) database the jist of your story pointed to the sheep following the betting moves. I would hope the database users and form students would have made their selections on the merits of the horses not last minute plunges.

For racing pleasure it's not the size of your database that counts it's the way that you use it. :smile:
