The Pheonix,

That was my point exactly - Class/Weight ratings is simply one approach but people who believe that it is the ONLY approach are closing their eyes to other possibilities. Someone else mentioned elsewhere on this forum that you need to find your own approach to make a profit in punting - if you just do what everyone else does then you will lose money (like everyone else does!). If everyone is doing class/weight ratings then maybe looking elsewhere is not such a bad idea.

Personally I am currently using two different systems in my betting (and working on or testing several others) - one of them is based on class/weight and one is not.
