SUMMARY

Those ‘killer’ factors

THE REALITY OF PRICING A FIELD (Part 2)

In previous articles I mentioned that we would later concentrate on refinements and pricing.

However, in doing so I'm conscious of not making the task too difficult for users of the Killer Factors and hopefully what follows is true to that objective.

The sort of refinements I have in mind refer to the first three factors: Beaten Distance; Order of Favouritism and the Average Prizemoney Index (API) ranking.

THE PERILS OF THE BETFAIR LAYER (Part 2)

Following on from the Roman Koz article in last month’s Practical Punting Monthly, the editor asked me to share some of my experiences as a Betfair user with readers as well.

I found Roman’s article of immense interest as his approach has been somewhat different from my own.
