G'day all, I'm doing ok with several plans that apply to Perth races, literally all showing a profit, over many years. What worries me is that, I've tried to apply the SAME plans to (as we say) the Eastern States this is the result:
Melbourne = a slight profit
Sydney = a slight loss
Brisbane = an even bigger loss
Adelade = an even bigger loss.

Mind you that is using a Ratings (service for the basic selections) based in WA. ,......... maybe if I used an Eastern States based Ratings Service it would be different.
But if anyone can offer any other explanation I would be VERY pleased to discuss it.

Partypooper.....very simply the amount of horses running around over here is a lot less than eastern states...it is a bit like Hong Kong....they have limited numbers of horses running around and the fiorm is a lot easierr to read(unless there is some shifty stuff goping on) so you can work out your ratings a lot easier.
A lot of brisy horse come down to sydney and melbourne is where the money is so a lot go there as well....so you have a huge mix of horses all over the place.

I would agree with what Shaun says and add that tracks in WA seem to be good or fast most of the time which probably makes the form more reliable too.

S & Kv, yes point taken, I've always said that WA form seems to be more relieable, so is that it just stick to what I know???
Sounds ok , but it's just that I intend to increase my stakes considerably, and wonder what affect this will have on the divies??

What type of bets are you on now...think you said Place betting.....WA is alined with Stab so depends where you place your money i would suggest a fixed price place bet with one of the online services...there is only one i know that does this....the other uses Unitab prices not sure on others Email me for more info mate
