This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to beat their fellow punters on a regular basis. It clearly demonstrates which horses you should be backing in Handicaps and non-Handicaps for both Flat (not AW) and National Hunt codes.
There are worked examples of the systems and full explanations of where you can gain an edge - and profit!
This book will not turn you into a pro overnight, but it will put you on the right track.
For the casual backer there are a dozen or so systems, simple to operate and understand, with a view to at least holding onto your money.
There is also stated the golden truth that specialisation pays, and areas where a more focused approach will prove very profitable are clearly highlighted.
Overall, and superb book for novices and champions alike.
