Ridiculous.
At least ranchwest did what acorn54 requested, which is a plus. Each potential buyer needs to decide if the software's odds line is accurate enough to be useful.

Thanks, good observations.
I do not claim that the program is in any way a selection program. The odds line is derived from the factors included in the program that I have found to be strong. That does not in any way eliminate the need to handicap the races.
