ZIPFORM RESEARCH
Thought I would resurrect this thread to finally add something to the forum which may be of help to someone, I have'nt really give anything in my short time.
I have studied the Zipform ratings from the Sportsman for a long long time and here are some stats. which may benefit somebody.
When looking at the ratings find the races where there is a clear 1st, 2nd and 3rd pick. ie: 58, 57, 55 and then the rest of the field. No equals and in fields of 14 or less.
You will find the winner in approx. 65% of races with this top 3.
Top pick will win 30-32% of the time. Avg price - ($3.25-$3.30)
2nd pick will win 20% of the time. Avg price - ($4.25-$4.30)
3rd pick will win 12%-14% of the time. Avg price - ($6.25-$6.30)
I find it useful information knowing that I can bet in a particular race where this occurs and I will find the winner in top two selections 50% of the time.
I hope someone will find this information useful, perhaps the many new forumites looking for a place to start.
As we are well aware stats knowledge does not mean a profit but it is a good starting point.
Races are S/M/B/A. The stats are not broken down into individual states.
Any questions don't hesitate to ask.
