System Selector
System Selector is the horse racing system software part of Bet
Selector. System Selector helps you take advantage of the computer to apply horse
racing systems. You are probably familiar with form based systems for selecting winners.
Usually a system has one or two main rules that do most of the work and/or
create the theme for the system. For example my Last Start Winner system works
on horses that won their last start and my Same Distance Longshot system
requires horses to be racing over the same distance as their last start and to
have won their second last start (both these systems are free when you request
my free system and program).
You can apply systems manually if you have the time to go
through a form guide like the Sportsman or Winning Post and
check all the rules. Try it and you’ll realise it is time
consuming – especially when you have to calculate days to past
runs like in the abovementioned systems. And it gets even more
complicated if you have rules requiring you to calculate things
like distance rises and drops and average prizemoney rankings.
This is where the System Selector horse racing system software part of Bet Selector helps as
you can enter and save rules for one or more systems in it and
then after just a couple mouse clicks System Selector tells you which horses
meet the rules!
Note: System Selector needs a “form guide” for this to work
but this can be downloaded into the program automatically from Cyberhorse’s Virtual Form Guide web site (provided you have an
appropriate subscription with them).
So once you have a compatible form subscription and a version
of Bet Selector that contains System Selector it really is a
matter of (a) clicking a few buttons to download the form for
tomorrow or the next day and (b) clicking a few more buttons in
the System Selector part of the program to
select your systems and list the horses that meet their rules.
Note that rules only need to be entered into System Selector
once as they will be remembered by System Selector for
subsequent use.
System Selector Rules
Our System Selector horse racing system software 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
in System Selector.
A list with descriptions of the main rules can be found in the
System Selector part of our online
Help File.
MyCalc
Bet Selector's MyCalc module is used to create user defined formulae for use in
Bet Selector's System Selector module - 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.
Staking Analyser
Bet Selector's Staking Analyser has 4 staking plans built in including
Grandstand Publishing’s Retirement
Staking plan. Expected to expand to around 10 staking
plans over the next year or two, Bet Selector's
Staking Analyser literally applies different staking
plans to a sequence of bets taken from the System Selector
part of the Bet Selector. At a later date it
will also analyse
your own spreadsheet file of bets! The staking
results are sent to a CSV file so you can do things with
them in Excel (or similar spreadsheet program) like apply
your own formulae and graph bank increases! |
