I AM A FIRST TIME USER BUT AN AVID PUNTER. I HAVE AN IDEA REGARDING A PARTICULAR ASPECT OF FORM WHICH I HAVE NEVER SEEN MENTIONED IN SYSTEMS EITHER COMMERCIAL OR PRIVATE . VALUE BEING THE KEY IT SEEMS TO THROW UP WINNERS IN THE 8-1 TO 20-1 PRICE BRACKET. I HAVE NEVER TESTED MY IDEA BUT WOULD LIKE TO DO SO MYSELF. CAN ANYONE OFFER ANY ADVICE REGARDING A FORM DATABASE FROM WHICH I COULD TEST IT. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED

Hi Peter!
I'm positive there are at least a dozen of us here with a database good enough to help you out, BUT you are asking for a database with form! not help with your idea.
There are a number of vendors selling databases.
Cheers!

THANKS FOR THE PROMPT REPLY . REGARDING FORM DATABASES FOR SALE CAN YOU MENTION WHO HAS THEM , THE PRICE AND SUITABILITY FOR TESTING A SYSTEM . I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED A SET OF RULES, I JUST HAVE ON KEY ASPECT TO BUILD A SYSTEM AROUND . I WOULD PREFER TO TEST IT MYSELF AS I DO NOT LIKE PEOPLE TO SPEND THEIR TIME ON MY BEHALF AND ALSO BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE VALUE LIES IN PEOPLE RULING OUT HORSES WITH THIS FORM PATTERN . EVEN HORSES THAT ARE THE FAVOURITE IN PRE-POST MARKETS ALLWAYS SEEM TO END UP AT GOOD ODDS.

Peter!
I was half joking!?
For a comprehensive database you are likely to pay thousands unless you can get it secondhand from someone.
I can understand your reluctance to part with your idea, but if it is a fizzer and you spent a lot of money on it what's the gain? Also are you a good enough programmer/user of databases to be able make the most of it?
Sometimes a bit of trust goes a long way mate!
Good luck with your project.
Cheers.

Peter,

Forum terms and conditions prohibit us from even listing commercially available material. They are out there and there's more than just one

Hi Pete,
Just a word of caution from somebody who tried the same approach as yourself in asking for advice from the forum.
Some people will offer you help and once you have shared your ideas you will be deafened by the silence. I'm not saying that everyone is like that but I also don't know how you can pick the genuine offers from those just wanting your angle.
Good Luck

I only posted those names in respnse to this thread....and like i said sorry if you didn't make the list it was just off the top of my head.....if you bothered to read the posts instead of jumping on people for the sake of posting you might learn a few things.

Hey Shaun,
For God's sake don't worry about us having a go at you mate, I reckon most of us are like a bunch of kids here, someone says something a bit dodgey and everyone jumps in to have a laugh at their expense. I certainly wasn't offended by your "postist" (or data basist) remark and anyone who was must be pretty thin skinned. Keep posting, I for one value your input.

Shaun ole son,

Think of Hay Chee mate and it will put a smile on ya face.

Cheers mate,
