Bet Selector Help File

Introduction

Operating Hints

When you first run the program and attempt to do anything with it, you will be presented with a password dialogue displaying a "computer code". Simply email the "computer code" to us and we will email you back a password. Note that you will also have to follow this procedure if you change your computer hard disk or substantially alter or upgrade your computer.

The program won't do anything (even after you enter your password), until you give it some races to look at. More details on this in the Form Import part of this Help File. Note you can get started quickly by downloading a free sample meeting using the "Download Cyberhorse Sample" option off the pull down Import menu.

It is your responsibility to back up the contents of your program folder (c:\price) and we recommend you do this periodically (eg to CD) so you can restore the program and all your past data if needed. When doing this you should copy every single file in the program folder as when restoring, the program and past data is only guaranteed to be trouble free if the restored folder and contents is identical to that originally backed up. Note there is a backup facility on the pull down FILE menu that will create the required backup for you.

Punting Hints

The Price Predictor part of Bet Selector (available via the pull down Run menu) not only predicts the finishing order of horses in a race but also calculates what it thinks is a "fair" price for each runner. Some punters are happy to simply bet the top prediction regardless but the professional approach is to only back a horse if the price available for it is equal to or better than what the program says is a "fair" price.

Betting only when you can get a horse's "fair" price or better can be applied just to the top rated horse or to multiple horses in the same race. If using this approach with more than one horse in a race, it is usually best to limit horses under consideration to the top 5 or 6 rated and/or to those rated at $10 or less (this makes sure you concentrate only on the main chances in each race).

Also important is selecting the right races and less experienced punters are advised to start with lower risk races. These are best identified by confining yourself to Saturday Sydney and Melbourne races with above average quality horses. The quality or class of the horses in a race is collectively expressed by the avBASE figure listed alongside the race name within the program (50 and above is good, 60 plus is absolute top - eg Melb Cup. Cox Plate etc). Races with large numbers of first uppers and races for 2 year old horses are best excluded.

For a more selective approach, see the System Selector part of this Help File.

Navigation Hints

Unlike many Windows programs with numerous options to choose from, we have deliberately kept the user interface simple with just a few key paths you can take once in the program. There are only four drop down menus in the program, File, Run, Import and Help.

The remainder of this Help File documents the most important program components mentioned above. Note that Tote Pro is automatically populated with race data from the Price Predictor and Race TAB Live parts of the program although there is a Standalone version off the pull down Run menu that can be used even n the demo program by manually keying in win prices.

Form Import

Selecting the pull down "Import" menu will give you access to the following options:

Note: The Download Cyberhorse Historical option is only available in Bet Selector Platinum and gives you access back to the date when you first subscribed plus one more year further back for every year in advance you are subscribed (or part thereof). If you want one past year of meetings free regardless of your program version you can get this once you take out a $55 a month subscription from Bestform.

For details on BestForm form, go to www.bestform.com.au

Price Predictor

Once one or more meetings have been imported into the program, they will be available to the Price Predictor part of the program via the pull down RUN menu. Price Predictor is the original ratings part of the program. It lists all meetings available for use in a scrollable list box on the left with a number of buttons on the right as follows:

The six View/Print options are handy if you wish to quickly view information and optionally print it out but the real guts of the Price Predictor part of Bet Selector lies within the "Load Data Tables" option.

Horse Window

The Horse Window displays every horse in the race listed down the screen and details for each horse listed across the screen (extra details are available on the right hand side by clicking TABs for additional panes of information). Data presented for each horse is as follows:

For details of horse's past runs you must click the "View Past Form/Edit Ratings" pushbutton towards the bottom left of the screen. Details on the Form/Edit dialogue that pops up can be found in the Form Window part of this help file.

Form Window

The Form Window displays detailed horse information in the top half of the screen, a sub-screen of items you can edit in the middle of the screen and past form information in the bottom half of the screen.

Items that you can edit (eg to modify a horse's predicted status) are as follows (note that after changing anything you should click the "Update" pushbutton to force prediction recalculations):

In the bottom half of the Form Window, each past run available is listed down the screen and details for each past run are listed across the screen (extra details are available on the right hand side by scrolling to the right). Note that you may have to scroll right to see all of the above information. Also if you have access to a large number of past starts (eg more than 16), you may have to scroll down to see them. Items included for past starts are as follows:

Extra Form and Graphs

When you go into LOAD DATA TABLES and get to a horses form screen there is a "Extra Form" button that populates the form screen with extra runs (if found). To the right of this button is a "Graph" button that produces a ratings graph for the selected horse.

Each past run is represented on the graph by a bar which contains the actual rating inside the top of the bar and the margin inside the bottom of the bar. Below the bar is the date of the run and below that the distance of the run. Good track runs are coloured green and fast track runs yellow. Wet tracks employ a mixture of blue and green colours with the amount of blue (think of blue as meaning water) increasing as the condition goes from dead through slow to heavy! Letups and spells (anything more than 32 days) are represented by a gap between runs on the graph.

Note that when you first produce a graph for a horse in a race you would normally click the Extra Form button first to get the extra past runs (otherwise you would just get a graph of 5 starts). Then after the form screen is populated with extra starts, the graph button will graph the extra runs. The Extra runs will also be available for display and graphing when you then go to select a different horse in a race (so you don’t have to click the Extra Form button again unless you change races.

Tote Pro

Clicking the "Run Tote Pro (Exotic Betting)" button will invoke the Tote Pro module that provides exotic betting functionality. The Tote Pro dialogue provides numerous data entry controls as follows:

Once you have made your desired changes (if any) to the above, the following pushbuttons complete the process of calculating exotic bet combinations.

Note: The above pushbuttons should be clicked in left to right order only.

New Tote Pro Bet Types

Tote Pro allows you to generate bet files compatible with Tabcorp's Express Betting mode not just for exotic bets but also for win, place and each-way bets and trifecta and first four flexibets. All you need do is select the radio button in the top right corner of the Tote Pro dialogue relevant to your desired bet type and then click the "Genrate Bets" button. In the case of each-way bets you can specify a place to win ratio and in the case of First Four (TT+) and Trifecta (EX+) you can add the option of flexi-betting where your outlay is proportioned across all combinations rather than used for each combination (note these bets are created from trifecta and exacta combinations respectively by simply adding 3rd place standouts grouped together for the final placing).

The "Multiple Bet" option when ticked groups selections together to create one bet rather than individual "one combination per line" bets. Plus (if in "Multiple Bet" mode) there's the ability to "rove" standouts from first place to second and third. This is achieved by selecting the 213, 231, 132, 312, 321 checkboxes at the bottom left of the Tote Pro dialogue. 213 for example indicates you want to include bets with 1st and 2nd selections swapped etc. Note you should always click the "View/Check TAB Bet List" to see what Tote Pro is doing.

System Selector

Selecting "System Selector" from the pull down RUN menu calls up the System Selector module within the program. System Selector was initially designed to help users pick system selections for upcoming races but now also lets users back test systems over past meetings they have downloaded. System Selector lets you select a system in the large left hand list box and then apply one of the following options via the right hand push buttons:

None of the above options except the last will operate until you have one or more systems available to work on. To create a new system you simply (a) use the last "Add 'Blank' System" option to add a system with 'blank' rules and then (b) use the "Edit System Rules" option to give the system a name and define its rules. To run the system you simply (a) use the "Test System" option to do the test and (b) use the "View Last System Test" option to view the selections.

Tip: To pick system selections for upcoming meeting(s) just set the start and end dates to the date of the upcoming meeting.

Note: System Selector will not operate in the Demo version.

107 Free System Downloads

If you run System Selector in the Platinum or above version, the first time you do so it will prompt you to download 60 additional "Drongo" systems plus 47 of my own. Doing so will in no way affect your existing systems as the new ones are kept in totally separate data files. The downloadable systems become available via a new drop down selection list at the top left of the System Selector screen - it allows you to switch between your own systems and those of myself and Drongo. Note that once you download the new systems you can alter them and even add or delete from them. Any changes you make will be remembered for next time you use them. You can however download the original unaltered sets again at any time by first deleting the downloadable systems via a new option for this under the main pull down FILE menu.

Main System Selector Rules

System Selector works by allowing you to set maximum and minimum bounds to a variety of parameters. Parameters are initially set to select as many horses as possible but by simply restricting the upper and lower bounds, a smaller sample of horses is selected. Various Yes/No criteria are also available. A list with descriptions of the main System Selector criteria follows:

Other rules to be added to an upcoming version include margin and turn (in-running) position ranges for a horse's last three starts plus ranges for the base rating, peak rating and last start rating.

Special System Tests/Rules

The following special test are available in the Pro Gold version and above.

The following special test are available in the Platinum version and above.

Spreadsheet Analysis File

Spreadsheet files in comma delimited format are created every time you run System Selector over past meetings. The comma-delimited format (with each column of data separated from the next by a comma) has been chosen as it is the most common format asked for and the format most compatible with all spreadsheet and database programs. It will load into programs like Excel with the data automatically separated into columns within the spreadsheet - so you can sort the data by any column you like and even apply calculations to individual columns.

Labels at the top of each column identify what each column contains. If you just browse the selections in this file as it exists in chronological order, you will get a feel for how your system selections fair in the order they are bet. If however you sort the entire selection list in the spreadsheet file by say average prizemoney ranking, you will be able to browse the list and get a feel for how the lower average prizemoney horses compare to the higher ones. Being able to do this for the different system criteria (once they are all included) will help you quickly identify which minimum and maximum bounds are best for your system. (Note: In Excel you use the SORT option on the pull down DATA menu to sort data).

A explanation of the spreadsheet columns is as follows:

System Analyser Output

The System Analyser output is an HTML file which reports performance for every System Selector criteria (and more) so you can see performance contributions for individual criteria values. An abbreviated sample output can be found by clicking here.

Following are the descriptions of the data columns in the System Analyser output:

Following the above columns are two horizontal bar charts - the first for percentage strike rate and the second for percentage profit (only positive values capped at 100% are graphed). Of the above columns the only one that requires further explanation is the Impact Value which are numbers centred around 1 where less than 1 indicates the strike rate is less than the average for all horses in the test and more than 1 indicates the strike rate is greater than the average. (They are better than strike rates for comparison purposes because strike rates by themselves are influenced by filed sizes and individual horse win chances. They are particular good for doing comparisons from one set of criteria to another - eg when you are trying to decide which rule is best to apply next).

Staking Analyser Output

The Staking Analyser output is a CSV file that loads into your spreadsheet program and reports performance of your system bets based on the application of various staking plans. The option to run win or place staking analysis is made via radio button selections at the point where you would normally run System Analyser.

Each Staking Plan is illustrated by two columns of data -the bet size BET and the bank size BANK. Column headings are prefaced by letters (eg a, b, c etc) to indicate the actual Staking Plan being applied. A legend can be found at the end of the spreadsheet explaining the names of the staking plans and more details on them can be found below:

At the bottom of the spreadsheet you will find absolute $ profit, percentage profit on opening bank (POB) and percentage profit on turnover (POT) for each plan.

TAB Results File

Free files of NSW TAB results for past meetings are available for download via the "Download TAB Results" option off the main pull down FILE menu (the one you get to when you first fire up the program and get a blank screen). The files are usually updated around the beginning of each month and clients are advised by email exactly when this occurs.

Once installed, the results file (a) allows TAB results to be displayed alongside race information in the Price Predictor part of the program and (b) allows profit and loss calculations to be determined during back testing of systems in System Selector.

Note: The main results file is named NSWDIVSX.DBF but two additional files are also available namely PLACE.DBF containing place and first four results and MARKET.DBF containing final TAB prices for all starters.

Race TAB Live

Race TAB Live is available off the pull down RUN menu and allows automatic access to scratchings, pre-race prices and post-race results via the Internet from the various TABs. It is most frequently used on race day morning to automatically update scratchings and on race day evenings to automatically update TAB results (a handy daily option to having to wait until the end of each month for the master TAB result download files).

In the top left hand corner of the Race TAB Live window are the following radio buttons for selecting the TAB data source:

Next on the Race TAB Live window is a date drop down list for selecting the date (today or tomorrow are the defaults with only the UNiTAB non-account login option allowing past days). Then comes the "Get Latest TAB Data" button to start retrieving the TAB data plus the following check boxes for determining what data is to be collected when you click the "Get Latest TAB Data" button:

Once the above setting have been set and you click "Get Latest TAB Data" the large middle list box will fill with details of all the races you requested data for. Then you can (depending on program version) double left mouse click a race to get the Tote Pro dialogue for that race or double right mouse click a race to get the Price Predictor Form dialogue for the race. There is also a "Get IAS Super Prices" button at the top right for accessing IAS prices (for display in the top right list box alongside rated prices and TAB prices) and "Open in IAS Web site" and "Open in TAB Web Site" buttons for opening the selected race in the IAS web site or respective TAB web site.

Finally there are a number of buttons across the bottom of the window for generating Price Predictor style reports for all races in the large middle list box.

MyCalc

The MyCalc module (in Bet Selector Platinum and Bet Selector Platinum Plus) is used to create formulae for use in System Selector - in particular formulae using calculations and/or data not available from the System Selector rules list. Most commonly it is used to insert one form based item and then use it in System Selector for display and elimination purposes. Basically anything you insert in MyCalc produces a numeric answer that can be displayed in System Selector for each horse and used (in conjunction with the equals, less than or greater than drop downs on the System Selector "Test" dialogue) to eliminate/include specific horses.

Creating Formulae in MyCalc

To use the MyCalc module just select it via the pull down RUN menu and click the "New"button in the top left hand corner. This create a new calculation to which you can give a name using the box at the bottom right near the "Save As" button, then enter the form items you wish to use from the appropriate drop down lists below the respective "Insert" buttons at the top of the screen (just select the item from the drop down and click the "Insert" button immediately above the drop down to insert the item) 

The drop down lists for Race, Horse data and Last Start form data give you descriptions of the various items available. When inserted into the formula box, they are prefixed by R for race fields, H: for horse fields and F: for last start form fields. A fourth drop down allows you to insert special variables from System Selector like past start margins and turn positions etc (note these work when using the calc in System Selector but not in MyCalc test mode).

Once you have entered a single form item into the large formulae text box in the middle of the screen you can add additional items with operators like +, -, * or / between them. Such operators can be typed in manually or inserted by clicking on the respective operator buttons at the top right of the screen. Note that left and right brackets can also be inserted or typed in and these may be required depending on what you want to do (as with normal algebra you need to be aware that (A+B)/2 is different from A+B/2).

The following example should help you understand the formula format. This example takes a horse's prizemoney earnings and divides them by the number of placings a horse has had.

H:STAKES/(H:WINS+H:PL2+H:PL3)

The first, second and third placings must be added together and enclosed in brackets for the division to work. Note that Last Start SP is inserted as BOOK2DIV(F:SP) where BOOK2DIV is an internal MyCalc function used to convert the price from bookie format to numeric format. Note also that you can use an IF function like in Excel and Min and Max functions (although these are restricted to two arguments).

Testing and Saving Formulae in MyCalc

In My Calc you can test your formula at the click of a button before using it in System Selector. You do this using the "Test" button towards the middle bottom of the screen using the drop down lists next to the "Test" button for selecting the date and meeting you wish to test.

When you run a test the result pop up in a Notepad window where you see the name and date of the meeting at the top followed by a list of each horse (identified by race number and TAB number) with its formulae calculation result.

To save the formula you create you must click the "Save As" button on the middle right of the screen making sure you type a name into the adjacent text box. Once saved, the formulae name will appear in the left hand list box of saved formulae. These can be opened by simply clicking on the names in the list box and they can also be deleted by using the "Delete" button under the formulae name list box.

Using MyCalc Formulae in System Selector

When testing systems in System Selector you will note two drop down lists below the "Start" button on the System Selector "Test" dialogue. The first is where you select the formulae to use -when selected the result of the formulae for each horse is displayed where the rated price (or Better Ratings points score) would normally appear on the "View Last System Test" report. 

The next drop down list in association with the entry box beside it allows you to eliminate horses in system tests that are above or below a formulae result of your specification. This can also be used to display all Better Ratings horses greater than for example 99 (which include some second rated horses that get 100 -something you could not do before). You could also try Better Ratings scores greater than 95 to get all 96, 97, 98, 99 and 100 horses (to do this just run a Better Ratings test and leave the first drop down box set to "Default Rating"). Similarly with your own formulae you can include horses only if their formulae results are greater than or less than the number you enter in the box to the right of the new drop down lists.

Note that in the Platinum Plus version you have more control over MyCalc tests as you can test for minimum and maximum ranking values, minimum and maximum Calc values and even test for gaps between the top two Calc values.

More MyCalc Examples

I have given the name "experience" to a calculation that express the number of wins at the track as a percentage of the total number of career starts. Note I do not mean as a normal percentage of starts at the track so the better horses have to have not just a high proportion of wins at the track but also a high proportion of runs at the track relative to their runs at all tracks. An "experience"percentage of 30 or more can boost profits of some systems between 10 to 30%. 

The formula for "experience" is 100*H:TCW/H:STARTS

A similar formulae that refers to distance wins is 100*H:TDW/H:STARTS

Next is a "last start prizemoney" calculation that is of great benefit to last start winner systems. It expresses the prizemoney won last start as a percentage of the prizemoney on offer in the upcoming race. This calculation immediately separates the better last start winners from the rest and by selecting only horses where the calculation is greater than 20, can boost last start winner system profits by over 20%. 

The formula for "last start prizemoney" is 100000*F:PRWIN/R:STAKES

Finally you can test for upcoming race restrictions as follows: 

If("TypeRestrictionHere"$R:REST,1,0)

Note the restriction formulae are available via the "Race Data" drop down list. Note also they use the IF functions similar to the IF function you use in Excel. IF has three parameters, the first being a logical condition, the second a value to return if the logical condition is true and the third a value to return if the logical condition is false. The above formula is set to return a value of 1 if the condition is true and zero if false (you can change these numbers if you wish). The $ operator means "if the string to the left of the $ is contained in the string to the right of the $ then return true, otherwise return false".

Points Allocation

A special function called MyPts is available to assist you in allocating points for numeric drop down items like TAB number, barrier position etc. The first parameter to this function is the drop down item you want to convert into points, eg H:TNO for TAB number. This is followed by two numbers representing the range of items you want points allocated to which in turn are followed by two numbers representing the range of points you want to allocate.

For example if you want TAB number 1 to 3 to get 3 to 1 points then the required function would be:

MyPts(H:TNO,1,3,3,1,0)

For example if you want barrier number 1 to 24 to get 10 to 1 points then the required function would be:

MyPts(H:BP,1,24,10,1,0)

The last parameter to the MyPts function is a 0 if you don't want points allocated outside the range you specify or a 1 if you want points to be allocated outside the range (in which case a straight line extrapolation is used). For example with the TAB number example above, the last parameter of 0 indicates all TAB numbers outside 1-3 get allocated zero points. If you change the last parameter to 1 then TAB number 4 would be allocated 0, TAB number 5 -1, TAB number 6 -2 and so on.

MyReport

MyReport uses the same drop down list items as MyCalc but instead of combining them together in a calculation it concatenates them into a string for reporting purposes. This way you can create reports that are different to the standard ones within the program. For example you can list horse name, jockey and trainer side by side by simply adding these items together like:

MyStr(H:HORSE)+MyStr(H:TRAINER)+MyStr(H:JOCKEY)

To access MyReport you simply change the radio button from MyCalc to MyReport. Note the automatic use of the function MyStr which converts the selected drop down items into text strings.

Finally you should note that in both MyCalc and MyReport you can separate long calculations onto multiple lines by pressing the Enter key to start a new line in place of using the plus sign to add a new item (but not if the items to be added are inside other functions or grouped within parentheses).

Platinum Plus

Bet Selector Platinum Plus includes nearly twice as many system rules as previous versions and these new rules are described in the sections below. A screen shot of the new rules screen can be found via the following link:

http://www.capitalinfo.com.au/newrules.htm

Platinum Plus Filter String Rules

The following "filter string" rules are available in the top level Bet Selector Platinum Plus version. They allow you to test for multiple/individual horses (like a black book), classes, jockeys, trainers and breeding sire/dams.

These new system rules are saved as filter strings and each time you create a new filter string it is saved with a name of your choice. These so called user defined filter strings are linked into your system by selecting them from the drop down lists at the bottom left of the rules screen (note some rules have been rearranged to make space for this). The filter drop downs have the names MyClass, MyHorse, MyTrainer, MyJockey and MyBreed alongside them to indicate what they are for. To the right of the drop downs are small push buttons with the letter "e" (for edit) -these take you to a filter entry/edit dialogue where you can enter and edit your filters for each category.

Note the first entry in each drop down is blank to indicate a choice of no filter, and then other filters are listed underneath. When you first start out there will be no other filters so you must click the "e" button and then "Add New Filter" to add a filter -just give it a name (up to 20 characters) and a filter string (up to 255 characters). The filter strings are basically names or parts of names separated by commas and the filter checking process simply checks each filter in the filter string against each horses relevant details. The following examples will illustrate how this works.

A filter to pick three horses would look like this:

Apache Cat,Weekend Hussler,Takeover Target

A filter to pick trainers would look like this:

Waterhouse,Cummings,Hayes

A filter to pick classes 1-6 would look like this:

Class 1,Class 2,Class 3,Class 4,Class 5,Class 6

Note that it does not matter if you type in upper or lower case as the process of checking a horse against the filters is not case sensitive. I suggest however that you type in upper and lower case or all lower case for the sake of readability. Note also that full names need not be used but if you use part of a name like Cummings then all trainers with the name Cummings will be selected. Similarly if you used just Cat in the horse name filter string then all horses with the name Cat in them would be selected.

If you want to exclude instead of include items from your filter lists then just put and exclamation mark (!) at the beginning of the filter string. So to ignore Maidens use the following filter string:

!Maiden

And to ignore Classes 1-6 use the following filter string:

!Class 1,Class 2,Class 3,Class 4,Class 5,Class 6

Note if you run a system test over all horses for a few months you can see a list of all the race classes at towards the end of the System Analyser report. This may be of help to ensure you get the spellings and spacing correct -note in this regard that Class 1 is different from Class1 so it is important to key in the correct letters and spaces (which can vary with different form providers).

Once you click the "e" button to modify or create filters, you can add as many as you like as they don't have to be linked to the system you have loaded at the time. Indeed when you exit the filter entry/edit dialogue and go back to the system, the previous filter choice if any is not changed and you have to change it yourself if you have just added a new filter you wish to use. Note also that once the filter entry/edit dialogue pops up you are not meant to be able to go back to the rule screen until you close it (but due to a programming limitation you can) so please remember to close the filter entry/edit dialogue when you are done.

With last months update I mentioned how you need not use full names in your filter strings because the program’s comparison test simply checks to see if your filter string(s) are contained in part of the class, breeding or horse/jockey/trainer name. Fore example when testing the class of the race with the filter string Class, all classes from Class 1 through 6 and others like Class A etc will be included. This is convenient (especially for testing part of the horse name or breeding string) but has the side effect that a class string of Group I will also pick up Group II and Group III. To get around this today’s update allows you to force an exact comparison by putting an equal sign at the front of the filter string, for example =Group I will only pick Group one races.

Platinum Plus MyCalc Rules

Bet Selector Paltinum Plus gives you more ways to test MyCalc results with the following new rules:

An important example of usign these new rules is where you link a system to your MyCalc calculation for Selection Poll points, set the min and max ranges for calc value to 1 and 1 to pick the top MyCalc horse, and then set a minimum of 2 points for the gap between the top and second top horse (gap position number 1). Details on exactly how to do this can be found via the following link:

http://www.capitalinfo.com.au/selection-poll-system.html

Please note that you can also pick races where the gap between the top and second top horse is say at least 2 and then pick the second top horse (doesn’t have to be the top horse). You can also set percentage gap limits – for example a 20% gap would require the top horse to be at least 12 if the second top was 10.

Note also that MyCalc rankings assume your MyCalc returns positive numbers with the best horse having the highest number. So if you want to test gaps between something like rated prices then you will have to engineer a MyCalc that returns higher scores for more favoured horses. For example MAX(0,20-BOOK2DIV(H:PRICE)) subtracts the rated price from 20 and replaces negative outcomes with zeros. This can be used to pick the top rated horse when it is say $2 clear of the second top horse. As mentioned above you could also test for the second top rated horse when the gap between the top two rated prices is say $2 or more.

Other Platinum Plus Rules

Also new in Bet Selector Platinum Plus are the following new rules:

Following are rules for earlier versions that have been extended in Bet Selector Platinum Plus:

Platinum Professional
