As I understand it's just about the only software that can backtest system well.

All I really want is something very basic that can tell me how much I'd have made/lost over the years if I'd have backed every favourite, where the second favourite was 3.00/4.00/5.00/6.00/7.00-1 more less than the second favourtie in terms of odds (not including joint favourites) and maybe seeing if the number of runners and good or bad ground has much of an impact on the results.

When I saw the price, my first reactions was :yikes: Ooo , but I'm sure some people on here must have it. Is it really worth the £1k or whatever it costs or would you recommend it?

You'll be surprised how many people use it. And those who want the market value at 9am pay the £30 a day access as well.....I wait till 10am, it's only £15 :)

Probaly not worth it for a small player and i don't really like systems too much anyway but if you post what you are looking for on here someone will probably run it for you eventually and let u know how it would have gone .

Unfortunately, it can't faciliate what I was wanting to find out.

I just wanted to see how much I would have made/lost if I back every favourite who met the following three conditions...

1) Odds of 3.00 or lower
2) Was AT LEAST 3.00 in front of the second favourtie. For example, if the favourite was at odds of 1/1 (2.00), the second favourite would have to be priced at a minimum of 4/1 (5.00).
3) Exclude races with joint favourites

I can promise you it will show a loss, otherwise if the rules where that simple for something, I'd be running it.

It runs at a loss due to the fact that most races with this profile involve odds on favs.

The samples are actually too small to give an accurate result, but this was done a few months ago.

Well, if you're confident Win2Win, but it did show a nice profit today. You'd be the person to know whether it would do well consistantly in the long run, though, so I'll trust your opinion. :spinning

Cheers, for that Oldham. It did sound a bit too easy and your figures show it is.
