New HRE Members: Read This First!

Hello, congratulations, and welcome to Horse Racing Experts (or HRE for short) ! This is a community of people who are passionate about horse racing, betting and systematizing the combination of the two.

In other words, people here love discussing, devising and testing horse racing betting systems. But not commercial systems. Home made, personally researched systems and methods.

Now you’ve joined us, there are two ways to use HRE. You may simply browse the vast array of content, and betting systems here. Or, if you’re more ‘hands on’ (like me and lots of others), do feel free to join in the fun in the forums.

Before you do that though, let me give you a whistle stop tour of what’s available inside HRE, because I think it can be quite overbearing for newcomers just working out where to start!

The first thing I would do is click on the Members tab in the top right of the screen.

From here, you’ll be presented with numerous features of your Horse Racing Experts membership:

If you’re interesting in building your own betting systems, then I’d suggest you start with the videos on Researching Horse Racing Systems.

If the number crunching doesn’t float your boat in the same way it does me and lots of the other members here, no problem. Skip the hard work, and head straight for the report on ‘Betting System Angles’. In fact, whether building your own systems is your thing or not, you should read this report.

The report contains fully twenty different starting points from which to build your own personal betting systems. And… it also has sixteen example betting systems. Each of these can be used in your betting, starting today, to help you sort the wheat from the chaff and make more cash from your punting.

Depending on whether your membership style is passive or more active, or even if you just want to follow the results from a system you’ve recently bought and are paper trading, you’ll find the system tracking spreadsheets extremely useful for that purpose.

And, when you’re ready, hit the forum. Here you’ll find all sorts of lively debate on betting systems, and angles, as well as a number of members trialing their systems live each day. I do have two polite requests for the forum please:

1. No pitching your services, or other people’s.

2. No negative posting. If you have a comment with a negative spin, please try to offer something positive by way of a possible solution.

Thank you. 🙂

Now then, as a special bonus, I’ve also included access to the Racing Systems Builder software in your membership. This tremendous software was the single most popular systems analysis software until it came off the market in October 2009. As such, research angles can be tracked until the end of the flat season 2009 only. There are no further data updates available.

However, don’t let that deter you, because the data that is there runs back over twenty years! And it is also good practice to research systems without using the most recent year’s data. That way, once you’ve found your prospective system, you can ‘trial’ it on the current season’s races.

To do this, use one of the numerous resources alluded to in the videos and on this site. The best free resource is www.adrianmassey.com. The best nominal charge resource is www.horseracebase.com. And the best premium resource is… well, there are a few. Personally I’m currently getting to grips with Raceform Interactive, though I can’t say it’s especially easy to use.

If you have any questions on your membership (it’s a strange membership model, as there’s nothing else to pay, ever!), then do drop me a line at support@summumbonum.co.uk.

Thanks again for joining us, and welcome aboard!
