Hi Guys,

I've recently come across race rate which I have had a look at a few plans. Are these guys any good? I am interested in the lay plans but not sure if these have been successful over a long period or not.

Any feedback or experience or recommendations on these?

I haven't looked at them but can i suggest a couple of questions to ask yourself.

1. Why are you buying the system?
2. Are you going to bet every selection it throws up ? or will you give up after the first big drawdown.
3. Are you capitalised adequately to bet the systems correctly.
4. Do you have the time to run the system every day (or on the days it stipulates).


Even if your happy with all these answers I would say the following...

There are quite a few good systems posted in this forum that work long term. Look around and paper trade them for a while. You lose nothing that way and you gain confidence in the selection method. Maybe you can improve it. If you have helped construct a system you will have a lot more confidence in using it.

Personally I think your better buying a database from a commercial provider and coming up with your own systems then buying a system from a commercial provider.

I've bought a couple off Race Rate over the years, and generally speaking they seemed okay, I never continued betting them myself, they just weren't my style of punting. Out of the commercially available systems they would have to be up there as perhaps some of the best (compared to some I have bought over the years anyway).

All there systems are testes live on the site, and they have shown a profit over those months otherwise they get binned. Although as we know, something that works over a few months doesn't give any guarentees to the what the future holds.

As Wesmip mentioned, really you'd be better off reading through the hundreds of pages on this site, theres quite a few systems on here that do work, and also +1 to the database suggestion, best investment I ever made!

Hi wesmip1. Can you recommend someone who provides a database please ?

Barny,

I don't use any commercial dataabase. I use my own that I wrote myself. There is a free one here. But you won't get any support or help instqalling it and no back data. But its free.

It going to depend on what you want and what price you are willing to pay upfront and ongoing. I always hear a lot of good stuff about Betselector although its pricey and I have heard Chromes Princes is good if you want something a bit cheaper.

Hi Thorns,

I am relatively new on here. Seems to be some good and constructive info and talk. Can you advise any of the systems that have stood the test of time in your view on here that you mention above?

Thanks in advance.
