See - 27 October Cox Plate GP 1

OOPS.Sorry Barny but the thread was started by "Myhatmycoat"

I have been using ratings for around 25 years. If during that time I backed my top rated horse only, I would have been broke years ago.

From my point of view I use ratings to sort out the main chances in the race, and if I consider it a betting race then the market will dictate if I bet or not.

It is extremely difficult to profit long term from backing only 1 horse per race, unless you have a lot of patience.

Uni/Tatts Ratings always have been limited in their accuracy & usefulness imho

My mind is not a closed shop, I hope not anyway. But to have a public Ratings System throw up (** you pick the word from the list below **) winners at all in Sydney and Melbourne, during the Spring Carnival, where there's a wealth of information on the competing horses ..... We'll I'd sack the Ratings Person for their "fatuous" and unprofessional efforts. To the best of my knowledge, the word fatuous hasn't been used on this forum b4 !!!

There's no info there darkydog2002, just your tips. What good is that to man or beast ?! If I'm to be lured to the dark side, then I need some information and a breakdown of results, the hows whys and whats of the Rating System. Which one do you recommend Darkydog2002 ?? Genuinely interested here .....

darkydog2002, The Herald Sun tipsters did just the same. Three picked Ocean Park to win, one had the Q, one had the exacta, and one had the Tri ..... there you go.

Hi Barny,
2 of the best are

racing service.com.au (Mick Fagin) allows you a free trial.

lucky88.com.au
(free)

Both give excellent summaries of their bets prior to the race.

Hope thats what your after.

In my case I review whats on offer with all of them (not just with these 2) and then make a personal judgement as to what I eventually go with.

In my opinion its one own judgement of whats on offer that will make or break one as a bettor.

Cheers.

Thanks heaps darkydog2002, I'll have a good look at these and go in with an open mind, which is not being handed everything on a plate ..... as you've alluded to.
