Maths. If you can't do the maths on the fly, then you best be getting out of wagering on ponies.

It's people with your attitude that make it worthwhile playing the game.

That's why so far no one has voted for the tip sheet option.

Why pay someone because it's fun to throw darts.

But I'll use the "commercial software" with the "commercial data file" because it does the majority of what used to be tedious time consuming calculations. But then from the few left that are the primary contenders I'll use a calculator to make some basic figures & a final selection from those.

BRIS Ultimate PP. I am working on method using Excel to locate horses that have more money bet on them than their PPs would suggest. At the current time I am using a formula based on Prime Power numbers to create the expected chance of winning. This idea of underlay betting is based on the writings of Burton P Fabricand. It was his idea that in races where horses who looked better than or similar to on paper to the favorite made the favorite the likely winner. It is my idea that a horse who is bet more than a horse with a higher expected chance of winning is the likely winner. I have making some very small wagers with some very good results while compiling more data with the hope of putting hard numbers to winning bet percentages and ROIs at various odds levels and the amounts of the horse's overbet. It is my hope that in a couple of months, I will have enough numbers to post a few race picks here.

Good luck with researching your method. This is exactly what you need to do to be a winner.
