Newpunter,

It took me about six months to muck around with excel and betting strategies to finnally come up with what i am happy with, its basically a betting table designed in excel, all calculations are done for you, all you have to do is pick the two, three, four, five etc that you want, manually put their tab numbers, venue in a column and your starting bet $, it, once you put in your win divis calculates profit on that race, profit since start, POT in %, next bet amount, basically all the stuff that i think i need.
What you need to do, ....and i am no experienced punter let me tell you.... is write down what you want out of a programme, read past posts, look back through stuff and find some ideas and see if that helps, if you can use excel, its a great programme to manipulate to suit your own needs, if you like i will post the top programme lines to my "bet sheet", you can type it into your computer and copy say 100 rows and give it a trial, or i can email you the whole thing if you like.
As what was said by Saun, be very carefull if you are using progressive staking with dutch betting, make sure you have a good "handbrake" set somewhere and a good selection method, my rule of thumb is as follows,
Horse 1 must be atleast 4.5
Horse 2 6
Horse 3 7
Horse 4 7

stop after three outs, start again, you should expect round about 50 % strike rate but be careful, you can not bet every race !
