goty0405 , I would like a copy of that spreadsheet if that ok send it to my e-mail shaun2166 at msn dot com

A lot of those double figure prices are in the top 4, i wonder how you would go just backing those abover $10

I did an analysis a couple of years ago on the ratings.

I'm not entirely sure exactly how they are calculated, but the Techform ratings outperformed the Unitab ratings by a fair margin.
I also found that they must have a generic scale, so it's just their top rated horse which is allocated 100.
I.E. a 100 rater in one race is not the same as a 100 rater in another race, there can be a massive difference in the actual points the horses get, yet they still get 100 for being top.

If they did it like the racing post ratings it would be much better.

& a lot of them aint, bound to be greater value outside the radio tips, but profitability is the ?

been backing all 100 raters >=$10 for a while for, mainly pub bets, with some success, but doubt theres anything to get to excited about with such a freely available piece of info.

I can tell you the average divs of the winners and the result of backing each $10 flat stakes @ TAB prices...

Just 100 Raters
Avg Div = $3.74
TAB Prices = -$45 145

100 Rater + Tob 4 Tab Tips
Avg Div = $3.17
TAB Prices = -$33 159

100 Rater + Tob 3 Tab Tips
Avg Div = $3.07
TAB Prices = -$30 305

100 Rater + Tob 2 Tab Tips
Avg Div = $2.87
TAB Prices = -$22 078

100 Rater + Tob 1 Tab Tips
Avg Div = $2.58
TAB Prices = -$13 713

So yeah they don't make money just like that (well not with TAB prices).

Those stats were all races. I will need to play around to get stats on each track so that can go on my to-do list

Ah now you're getting to where I was at with this idea...I have tried 100 Raters + Top Tab Tip + Late Mail tip with the following results:

Selections: 3361
1st: 1289 (38.35%)
2nd: 617 (18.36%)
3rd: 435 (12.94%)
Not Placed: 1020 (30.35%)
Avg Div of Winners: $2.19
If Back $10 on each on TAB prices: $-5397

Much closer...If you factor in getting better prices (say 10% better) than it only runs at -$2575. Heres where I thought it was close but maybe needed 1 more filter.

100 Raters NOT in the Top 4 Tips
Selections: 429
1st: 82 (19.11%)
2nd: 66 (15.38%)
3rd: 57 (13.29%)
Not Placed: 224 (52.21%)
Avg Div of Winners: $4.09
If Back $10 each: -$933

May sound small but in fact its got a ROI (return on investment) of -20%. Not good.
