UK press synthesis for horse racing

You can now see everyday the UK press synthesis tips for selected race courses here:

cosmicway press synthesis

This method adds together all the free card services to produce a compound assessement.

I started doing this in 2011. Now we have daily programs (OPAP-GBI) in Greece so I publish the page.
In addition the sources of information have been calibrated using poll optimization methods. Three years of data were used and the study was finalized in September 2015.

I 'd like to know if this helps and by how much. Also any betterments to the press synthesis assessements you have in mind.

I used to mail some sheets to one of the forum members from the old version (with simple addition formula - uncalibrated).
 
Thanks for this I think it could be very useful in spotting horses that may be under or over bet . Could you explain morse about the difficulty index and how you think it may help in betting
Many thanks

The difficulty index is a sort of probability mixed mean.
I have Wton race 2 infront of me now and it says 11, race 1 says 7.3. Race 1 looked easier as witnessed also by the market whereas race no 2 due now in five minutes looks more difficult.
Race 1 was won by a 20-1 shot (my 6th chance). Race 2 we are about to see (*).

The method helps identify the favourites. One thing I have n't tried is placing bets the night before, when the market is open but not formed.
About myself I more or less follow it. But I tend to avoid huge drifters.

Since you are local bettors and I 'm not, maybe you can spot angles (other than backing the suggestion).

Here in Greece we have n't got anything better than press synthesis really to serve as a guide. There were some French journalists 3-4 years ago who were placed in charge of the foreign section of the racing press but they were no good really, or were not paid enough. One time there was a race from Musselbrough I think it was in which Turner won and they had about 80 past performences of the horses in one page. meaning nothing. 2 of the 80 were race course / distance. Waste of ink. A power product like the American DRF is the ultimate of course.


* no 13, On A Whim, Fanning my 11/13 chance in the end
 
I have Ascot today, three from Haydock and Lingfield.
Here is a link you can watch the races selected for the Greek program for free:

OPAP - LIVE STREAMING

The buffer is 35 seconds.
I don't know if this is part of the agreement or technical issue. Looks like it is a USTREAM channel they have made.


* Lingfield is not in the Greek program but I included it. Greeks are Ascot, last three from Hay.
