Only people with low IQ's fit rules to races already run. (I went through that stage many years ago haha.) My results achieved of late are based upon rules set in concrete. So to answer my original question if over time I eventually manage to achieve 30 percent or so for say about 1000 races that would be pretty good eh...

Just out of curiousity has anybody followed this system and what were the results. I thank you in advance.

A guy who used to be on here called Jacfin did some research on Unitab 100 raters. He found that backing 100 raters in Bris, Syd & Melb on Saturdays at dividends of $8.00+ produced a handy profit over a period of a year or so.

Personally, I love the Unitab 100 raters and I have several little systems based around them.

yeah - I remember that , after that was posted I tried to sort one myself using the 100 rater theory from that site. Had some success with it and the winners were at a pretty decent price. I put quite a few filters in mine and it wasn't till recently that I had a brainwave , in that maybe the filters I had put in were going against the work the ratings had already done. I had planned to revisit this because it did show some merit originally

Just info for 100 pointers,
I use them for place bets, awsome strike rate and a tidy side profit,
Check out when the late mail matches up with the 100 pointers !

"Cick into http://www.qtab.com after 10.00am. on any day of the week . You will see Mark Reads assesed point ratings . I have found by backing the 100pt.runners paying $3.20 or more in the newspaper ,the reults over the last 200 races were this. 29% stike rate. Profit on turnover 20% What I found amazing is is the number of double figure winners that pop up e.g. on Wed.9th. $11.20 $15.20 I would recomend level stake betting using a bank of $1.00 for every $100.00 If more than one 100pt. selection in race back them both as long as they are $3.20 in newspaper. All bets could be placed at once ,great for busy people ."

I wonder if you would like to look at the staking methods employed by Howard Sartin. You back two in a race, 60% on shorter priced and 40% on the longer, PROVIDED that the price is greater than $3.50.... I have been following this for many years... have adapted it to not backing anything shorter than $3.00..... Any of you fellows out there with spreadsheets able to check if this is profitable or not.... I do this as well as take quinellas, trifectas on the same races.....
At one stage I used to get a ratings from Prowin ( I think it was called, it was from a bloke in S.A., who had offered it through the Ausrace Digest)
I was in touch with him and told him of the method and he found that it did throw up better profits than merely backing the top rated horse....
Look forward to any comments...

Chiller, what you really have there is two methods, i.e. 4 units on the highest priced of the top two rated and 6 points on the shortest. So over a given period of time, say 100 races you have 100 bets @ 4units, (level stakes) so it either showed a profit (at levels or it didn't) also you have 100 bets @ 6 units (level stakes again) and it either showed a profit at levels or it didn't.

In other words having 4 on one and 6 on the other is irrelavant, you could have 2 1/4 on one and 17 3/4 on the other and the result stands : i.e. you either have a profit at level stakes or you don't. I'd be VERY surprised if there was a profit on either selection though.

I feel it could be a stronger stratergy to target the 100 Pointer horses that are 4/1 in the newspaper.The strike rate drops a bit but you are still on the ones of value & with fewer bets.Results Wed 23rd Jan.$3.60+2.70+3.6+10.70. 25%S/R 21%Profit on turn over. Check it out.Level stakes betting.
