Lew,
That is why it is mainly computerised! The computer does most of the work and gives me the details of possible bets - I then have a quick look at the form and see if it seems reasonable - if it is and the price is right at the jump then the bet goes on, if not the money stays in my pocket. Probably only takes me 5 minutes per race. I am not saying this is the perfect approach - I know I placed a lot of bets that in hindsight were not too clever but it seems to work for me and keeps the time required to a manageable level. Over the period from January to September it managed a healthy POT - I lost some money in October before I stopped betting (I have a "rule" that if I have 2 consecutive losing weeks I stop and assess the situation) but nowhere near as much as I made in the previous months so overall I am happy with it.
