Saturday wrap-up

Hey All,

Interesting day of results yesterday - I'm learning all the time and have picked up on a few things I need to work on to improve the results.

I've been told by a few different people previously how I should be betting my ratings - so I'll start working those results in from now as well. Basically, the suggestions have been to back anything you can get overs on to win a set amount. I'll post results based on betting to return $100 BUT I'll only back horse I have priced under $10 so as to limit the bets to the horses I like most (I'll only post those ones from now as well)

Finally, I'll be mostly focusing on Saturdays and public holidays as it's too much of a struggle to back up to a night of crunching numbers on here after a day on the computer at work.

Ok, here's the results - once again using NSW TAB dividends / prices - so there is a % extra to be made just by finding a better price.

So on the day, if I was betting to this system, I would've been very happy :)

Will be interesting if these results stand up, or even improve as I develop the ratings further.

Couple of final points to make - I didn't rate race 1 as there was only one horse that had previously raced. With race 8, the winner was a first starter - the only one in the field - it was a very good effort for it to win, but impossible for me to rate.

Lots of sports on this time of year - I'm hoping to see the Eagles beat the Cardinals and then go on to win the Super Bowl. Either way though, I'd love to see either Sav Rocca or Ben Graham take it away, go you Aussies :)

Tennis - Aussie Open is about to start - I hope Ana Ivanovic win the women's because she is HOT :) Men's - Andy Murray is playing great, he could be the one.

Then there's cricket, A League etc etc etc

Shame I'm not betting at present but I'll start up again soon - I want to build a bank for the winter and the Aussie football codes, there is DEFINITELY money to be made.

Anyways, things to do - have a great day All :)
