on Aug.10, 2009, under Sports Betting

Many serious sports bettors consider the futures wager the province of rank amateurs trying to go for the big killing. Theyre the sports betting equivalent of the wanna-be stock investor who always gripes if only I had bought Microsoft when they went public.

Ratings Based Racing: What It Means At The Track
on Feb.15, 2009, under Gambling
Ratings-Based racing is something relatively new to most Australian punters but is here to stay so we need to get a handle on it. The major difference between ratings-based racing and the old Class 1, Class 2 (etc.) racing can be simplified by an example: In say, a 62RB (Ratings Based) race you can have a Class 1 horse (a horse with only one win), a Class 2 horse (horse with two wins) etc. racing against each-other provided their “rating” doesn’t exceed the level of the race, in this example, 62.
