924:
"Would be awesome to find out if the omission of the barrier draw rule altogether, (or the inclusion of outside barrier rule) would further improve, either your strike rate, or perhaps more importantly, ..p.o.t."

Well I hate to disappoint you 924 but that barrier rule is an addition I made to this system a long time ago. It was an improvement.

We should remember that the barrier figures here are probably from 1 Melb. metro track only [Flemington Blocka?] and not all 4 of them. They certainly don't represent all Metro tracks in all states. Those big Brisbane tracks would show a very different story and try outside barriers at tiny Rosehill track in Syd. !!

I can't confirm the outside barrier plus 1-7 idea, but I'm going to keep an eye on it as I really do like it.

One rule I am thinking of including though [to both my systems] is: 'ignore the race when there is a very strong under $3 PP favorite competing against your selection'. Makes good sense with Syd.R4 Pendragon at $2.40 and R5/1 Mummify at $2. They might get rolled, but in normal punting [doing the form] I always ignore those races.
