Never heard of him - :lol: . He (and his software) is probably what most odds line makers, who concentrate on high volume betting, wish they were (or had).

If what they say about this guy is true and if that is what the little guy is up against then we all might as well pack it in....we don't stand a chance anymore in this game with the takeout, inside sharpies, and outside sharpies like this guy...who are we fooling? Only ourselves....we are all just providing bankroll for this whale! :confused:

Did you read the articles? There were articles about his success in Hong Kong racing from 15 years ago. He is not new to the game.

A more relevant link to all things Benter, I think:

I've seen varied opinions, one which goes that this was lightning in a bottle--getting in on the ground floor at a particular time and place. Did copycats dilute the inefficiency of the market? Did he just weary of the work involved, having apparently amassed a fortune?

I've wondered how many of the 120 factors were applicable to every race circumstance. And the most useful info I received from the article deals with the significant incorporation of public odds as a factor.
