Using Official Rating To Estimate Class

I can’t log into the puntology website anymore – it’s sends me to the Word Press dashboard when I log in with my details?!

It’s getting quite frustrating now but could you send me a new link or update my subscriber settings.

Thanks

Hi
I’ve gone through the written steps and think I’ve understood but the video’s not here so I don’t know for sure! Any chance you could post it back again or send me another link? Or just a completed spreadsheet with the example so I can double check I’ve got it right?
Thanks

Liked the video and look forward to more lessons. It would be nice if we could download video replay off line, internet not to good here for live internet videos

We use the average because just using the last OR can give a biased view of the runners.

Thanks for the video- I managed to sort out the ideas you put forward by creating my own spreadsheet. May I suggest this to your other viewers.

Just one question – Why is the Class of Race calculated by finding the average of the 6 race averages rather than the average of the OR’s of the day. ?(ie colA in your video)

Dear Michael,
I write as a teacher. The content of your video is extremely interesting but you will leave your pupils confused. Surely the purpose of the whole exercise is to pick a winner. This is the fons et origo of horserace betting. You left us all up in the air at the end. Manipulation of figures is very important; I can see that. But you must prepare better. Thinking on your feet is one thing, something that teachers often have to do. There is no excuse for such an unsatisfactory situation when all is prepared.
Having said all that, Michael, I thought what you said very entertaining and could be used in any situation. Sorry to be negative.

Hi advisor yes i understand you have to make sure every one underatands i was iust relaying i found another way, now to picking your brain as i am new to excel i would appreciate some help from yourself and memders if i may right now i would like to know how to use that dropdown dialogue box that you can type in formulas and it will atomaticly carry out those instructions say for example i set up colums A,B,C TO have C=course D-distance & CD=course & distance AND I COULD HAVE OTHERS that coraspond to the going now what you could is use Y/N to put in the sells or 0,1
for positave and negative then what you`s aready don in the dialogue box would give each a predeturmined figure lets say you answer Yes to course winner it would put +3 in the column under( C )AND if answer is No it would put -3 in that column and it might be + or – 6 for course & distance and it be a + or – figure for the going so as you can see you could populate the boxes under the letters (A TO Z )WITH any amount of information is the horse being riden by a top 5 jocky lets say or trainer
ant you would have a total at the end of your inputs now it could be don to give you a total anywere you want for instance you busy and havent got time to put in alot of info for 4 or 5 horses then you would use the quick version by just puting in most basic information for your 4 or 5 horses you could even give or subtract points for being in or out of the first 4 or 5 in the betting you could change these numbers to suite so as you can see i have lots of ideas and just need to know how to write things into the dialogue box for it put the figures or sum that i want
into sells under each question.if any one would like to e-mail me instead of writeing a post let me know horsemangg ps looking at this now i could be made to work with that allweather system you`ve put together

Hi Glen, yup you can contact me via email using the contact link at the top of the page. You are right you can type =average() into your spreadsheet and get the same result, I just wanted to make sure that it was as clear as possible. I shall look into that idea further for you as well.

Hi is it possable to comunicate via e-mail as i have questions,quiryies and ideas witch are not just comments,by the way having looked at your video you might be able to do another video showing a short cut or just a slightly diffrent way of doing it that is instead of adding up your colums (OR,TS,and RPR)arriving at a figur and then deviding it by number of runners to get your average for todays (OR)AND THE OTHER RATINGS i found just doing the average sum an running down the column gave me the same figur as adding then subtracting number of runners i all so tryed a diffrent idea once having got average for the race i went across columns adding the 3 figurs up (OR.TS.RPR) and from that subtracted the averade rating then see what each horse had left the ones with the most are taken to be the ones well in now i think i did this with puntology check it out further i think both systums could do with some tie brakers when you have two horses on the same mark and another only one point behind that will be for next time
