I have been a BetMix user for the past few years and found it to be a great multi faceted application.
There are many instructional videos on Youtube.
I personally find the mix to be the strength of the software. However, you cannot rely on a mix to be effective over long periods of time and they have to be constantly refreshed and redone. If you like work then you will appreciate the amount you will be doing with this software because you have to do a lot of it.
The Overall screen which includes Birddog usually has the winner in the top 4.
You have the control as to how you set up your initial screen and how many races and which factor or factors you wish to start off your mix with.
You also have many options to form a consensus and come to a conclusion for each race. I also use the PP's which is also included in the software, in my handicapping process. A fair knowledge of "Angles" and connections would be helpful .
As well you can formulate your own angles and test their success rate with "Angler". You can back fit individual races to see which factor(s) the were strong in a specific race. The database of races go back over 7 years.
It takes a little time to get a feel and learn what to use for what might be good for your way to handicap the races.
You get most tracks and there is no need for data files. You also have access to ToteBoarder and 1st/Bet which is (Xpressbet).
You will be overwhelmed with the amount of features available to you.
Dave Williams is one hell of a nice guy and a pleasure to deal with but I believe he has been overwhelmed with the programming needed by the Stronach Group which BetMix is now a part of.
I have asked and suggested a few ideas of mine that I would have liked to have seen added to the application. They have not been addressed yet.
I was promised to beta test something Dave said he was working on but it never happened. I also asked for a power number so that one could formulate there own odds line from and an improved pace segment. Those requests as well, never happened.
Understandably, the Stronach group is focused on the betting aspect of this software.
You know how the saying goes, "Money Talks" and you know what walks.
BetMix is a very strong application
If you can recognize value and like to spend your time working then this is for you.
