Introduction & Explanation

This page will contain links to various methods and systems some of which will use our ratings. It is expected that this list will grow over time.

First of all, we have to make very clear what is exactly a 'method' and how it differs to a 'system'. Basically they are both the same sort of thing; a set of rules or guidelines developed to locate a horse to either back or lay. The general accepted definitions are:

System
A very fixed set of rules which are to be followed rigidly; for example "Back all chestnut mares ridden on left handed courses on a Tuesday". These are to be followed to the letter and involves no brainpower from the follower. We offer two sets of selections; System 5 and System 20. We call these 'systems' because the Model has generated these and now they have been processed they are to be followed rigidly.

Method
This requires a little more brain power and common sense from the follower. Have a look at the rules and then make a first decision. Then look around a little more; is there something really horrible about what has been selected, if so, then get rid of it. Or, perhaps, one of the horses which just failed to meet all the criteria also looks strong, perhaps then it needs to be included. Still not happy, then perhaps the race ought to be discarded. In short, a method has a little bit of fuzzy logic and grey areas involved with the selection processes. On the whole methods tend to be better than selections in terms of profitability once the user has got to grips with it but the workload is, obviously, more involved.

Disclaimer
A bit of common sense really. These have been submitted by members with the best of intentions. No guarantees can be made of these systems and they ought to be used in a dry run (with virtual cash) before using real funds.

Methods

Ametuer-1

This method was created by a regular contributor to the Chat pages by an ex-jockey whose handle is 'Ametuer'. This method is based upon the UK Horse Racing ratings and produces upto three selections in a qualifying race. These selections then can then be Dutched.

Systems

Right To Left Backs

We post the Right To Left (RTL) selections daily. These are the horses which are running with a good number of positive values and no negative points. The RTLs are posted for information rather than as a system. However, one member has come up with something to turn the RTLs into a profitable system.
