why you not using your computer more?

This is an open letter to all the Timeform Radio wall posters.

Ok am puzzled – am 71 years old and having been in racing as a groom, bookie clerk for my dad, inveterate gambler for most of those years own parts of animals both flat and jumps and know the gentlemen of the turf across the country – have seen big gambles and big losses, drunken revelry and drunken despair. But adore racing horses and the whole shooting match.

So why is it my young friends that I appear to be the only one on the wall who uses my computer for my form guide?

It’s not the money; you are spending more than I am on racing papers or Timeform.

You have some brilliant insights to racing – some of the postings are inspired- have learned to read them where you are more confident than other occasions. I am reading more and more where the selection you put up have depth (when I first joined you -the majority of posts were simply the name of the horse.)

So why is it you’re stuck in the last century???

I use the following

Visual Form Book – £1.28 per day

Racing Post (standard minimum fee) £ 0.26 per day

At the Races (free)

What do you pay? If it’s the racing post paper its £ 1.29 per day on the last count or the weekender which is a good read but is out of date almost as soon as its printed

If you use the ordinary press or phone tipsters – heaven help you

So as it’s cheaper my way – and your much more computer literate that this old guy

Here is a simple table (you know I love them)

system	Cost Per day	Interact	Going change ability	Betfair Prices update	tipster	Analyser Horses trainers/jocks	H/cap (your own)	Instant Access during racing
VFB	£1.28	YES	YES	YES	No	YES	YES	YES
Racing post site	£0.26	No	No	No	YES	Yes but not inertactive	YES	YES
ATR	free	No	No	No	yes	No	No	No
Racing post (interactive)	£2.22	YES	YES	No	No	YES	YES	YES
Racing post paper	£1.29	No	No	No	yes	No	No	No
Timeform radio	Free	No	No	yes	loads	no	no	Yes
Newspaper	?	No	No	No	loads	No	No	No

Ok so why don’t you use a Computer system that can do everything you want it to do – can switch between screens betfair and analyser post the comments and notes – have all sorts of information that you choose to use for every race Jumps and flat

There are 8 pages of 12 columns giving you just what you need from track information best recorded speed best draw etc etc etc. each horse in each and every race – can be analysed for last run only or last 20 to 50 runs (I use benchmark of 14 runs) - The settings include The animals ability to run the track type - distance ground - even giving you knowledge of which tracks are similar - which tracks are not. (Headgear -Incl first time) Course rides /wins for Jockeys and Trainers as well as 10 year statistics across the country and direct betting changes from Betfair. all done with one click per page

With your own ideas and systems instantly before your eyes – why are you not using an interactive system?

I am convinced that you will love The Visual Form book software system and want you to apply your brilliant ideas to it. I am also convinced that if your new to racing you will have greater insights as a result of using this software.

Try the Visual Form book for one month. Is the cheapest and best value software on the market- And just as an added Bonus - win the VFb monthly Nap table and you will get the next month subscription free (you can join at any time)

So - Click on the Visual Form book logo at the top of the page and let me know when you have - I will guide You through the setting up and page settings until they are familiar and you are happy to shape the book to your own thoughts.

Disclaimer ---I do not own nor have any part of management of The Visual Form Book – just a dedicated user who wants you to get the most from racing and know this is the way to do it

Cheers

Thanks for reading
