I been quoted £175 for a custom built application to get the data I need from Sporting Life each day with the ability to export to Excel.

Does that seem about right ?

I don't have anything to compare it to. One thing I do know, it takes real dedication to input the data manually.
There were 149 races today, (including the Henlow card that started @ 8.12) :shock: ....I stopped at morning only - 4 meeting (omitted Henlow)

After a while it was like playing the piano. The thing is, If you can't play the piano, £175 would sound reasonable if it imported all the data and correctly formatted into excel, giving you time to set up Guardian.

Here's the sheet for the aptly named; Don't Stop Me now.

Everyone home & finished work... sometimes I feel around meal times can be a bit flat, I've never measured it though, just more of a feeling.

Still going well....
You mentioned that this is a popular technique with punters so presumably you're preempting their money arriving and the price shortening because of it? Would other popular dog selection methods yield similar results?

The original posting has been edited so I'm not sure of the details, but there seems to be an element of filling the spread with offers too. How much of your profit do you think is down to the dog analysis, and how much is down to having your offers matched? By the way, when are you closing these, scheduled start?

Hi,

Ever needed to know which Greyhound will shorten in price with 99% accuracy ?

Any questions then let me know.

Have fun.
When you say the last race times do you mean the last race that they had? or the worst time they had recorded?

Also I would agree with a previous post it takes a lot of effort to populate the race card each day so if you could automate that process you would be flying
