I have amassed a huge amount of electronic greyhound form data ( 50,000 races, 23 tracks ) and am about to start testing out different handicapping systems.

So if you post me your handicapping system I will try it out, giving both of us a benifit.

Only sensible systems please not the old " if a trap losses 6 times the seventh will be a win" c**p.

Next start win and place performance after winning 2 out of last 3 starts but unplaced (4th or worse) at most recent start.

Cliftonarms - could your 50,000 race database be anything to do with globalgreyhounds.com by any chance?
I see that you are a new member there and that they provide info on 49000+ AU races.

Strike rate (win / place) hound placed (not win) last start higher grade (could be mixed grade), next start lower grade. Thanks.

Another quick one thanks.
True or false? Lowest strike (win) rate is the ‘squeeze’ box (5) over distances 530M or less?

Wonder whether you can work out how much each box loses on a $1 straight out basis.

Victorian Box Statistics can be found at the link below under "Winning Boxes"

http://www.grv.org.au/index1.html

Did 12 months research on Perth dogs. Box the first three prepost in west paper and the last priced dog for quad.

I found that these came in at the same rate as first four prepost and than the other combinations 1,2,3&5or 6or 7

Also found this to give an even return which was considerably better than the first four. The odd time that the last stood up made it difficult not to leave out of boxing it in for the win.

Something may be done on a data base with this as a start. leave out some races or add some filters. I don't know I was doing it longhand.

Yo Cliftonarms.
What's the progress with the situation my good man?

Justinfront - Will look at yours and get back to you. Do you want the results private messaged or public? ( does this site enable private messages ? )

gizzard-No they are not from globalgreyhounds, their data is entered by entusiasts so may be prone to error.But I am a member because it is a useful referance site.

Moeee - I'll check systems only, yours is not a system. Trap win rates are posted on globalgreyhounds.com for loads of tracks.

puntersteve - It takes me 8hrs to check a system so there is no such thing as a "quick one" plus look at globalgreyhounds.com for the win rate of box 5 for the track you are interested in.

PS I use the forum http://www.bookiebusters.net/discus...html?1057170681 mostly so I may miss messages here
