Book Description

I graduated from University with a computer science degree many years ago when a degree meant something! I was always interested in horse racing and was fascinated in solving the UK horse racing form puzzle. I started my own computer business in my early 20’s where I made good money and travelled across Europe. It was at this point in my life I decided to start a horse tipping business where I had weekly full page colour adverts in the Racing Post at £2K per advert and offices. I left the running of this horse tipping business to staff who were responsible for all parts of the business while I concentrated on my computer business. In my late 30’s around 1990 I decided to use my computer skills to computerise and model UK horse racing form using a database built with 10 years of detailed horse racing form. It was over a period of 2 years that I concentrated my efforts on UK handicap races in conjunction with the betting exchange Betfair. This is where I believed maximum profit could be gained. The computer model allowed me to process 100’s of handicap races per day and then formulate my system tweeking a horse’s weight and BHB or OR ( Official Rating ). I must confess this was a difficult puzzle to crack even with a computer program that I wrote to crunch the data. I eventually found the correct weight and BHB rating for a horse based on it’s last performances in handicap races. This eBook outlines this system and can be manually applied easily using the Racing Post on the internet.
