But 25/55 of my selections were 100 raters:
Now excluding all 100 Uni tab raters
Races: 30
Winners: 8
Outlay: 30
Return: 35.1
More profit excluding the 100 raters despite having more races and less winners.

I see, but I'll guarantee if you take out the longest priced winner, the second set shows a bigger loss than taking the same out of the 100 raters.
Bottom line: it would help if you compile a database of every selections full details including prizemoney, prizemoney rank, tote price, prev finishing position, api, etc etc etc and revisit it after a few hundred bets.
I'm sure certain things would become glaringly obvious.
Tip: watch out for horses increasing or dropping by big distances, they are a costly conveyance in harness racing. |
