I think one of the reasons Scott was so successful was that he got the jump on the bookieswith his analysis and as a consequence was able to secure many overlays in the one race, so it was not unheard of for him to back 6 or 7 winners at one meeting. I think he may have even backed every winner on the card a couple of times.Nowadays with the bookies analysis far more advanced , there are less genuine value bets left. There is nothing more frustrating than to spend time analysing a race only to come up with the same prices as the bookies. I think this why many people prefer mechanical systems. While they might not be as reliable, because they use different methods, they might be able to find value that normal ratings cant.
