Gday Sarg..

the 100 pointers are a weakness in my ratings... the races where there is a 100 score is simply a converted number, my ratings figures are result of various scores added together then divided... the 1oo score races mean the the top rater scored more than what the maximum divisble number is ( my max rating is 100) (to acheive a normal rating figure)... so that means that it needs to be converted... I chose 100 as the number because the other races cannot reach 100.. I know it sounds convoluted but it makes perect sense to me... Having said that I do NOT consider a 100 pointer any better than any other top rater... or worse for that matter, but they are more likely to be pretty short.. I hope that makes sense.. I think the ratings work well for multiple players, also concentrating on horses paying say more than 4 or 5 bucks can be profitable.. I do not reccomend betting the top rater only, even tho they do tend to show a small profit on most days... some days they fall in a heap and the 2nd 3rd or 4th horses keep winning at big odds.. but that is the name of the game I guess..
