Racing Bet Data is a free to access database of horse racing results that can be filtered by a huge number of variables. There is a premium option available.
What does the product offer?
Racing Bet Data is a staggeringly huge database of horse racing results going all the way back to 2002. Racing Bet Data offer a number of filters which can be applied in a huge number of categories ranging from the obvious things such as race, jockey and trainer to weight, age and starting price odds. This is all compiled and presented in a limited form if you are a basic member or in full if you are an advanced member. Racing Bet Data also comes with the option to have the information exported to an Excel spreadsheet.
How does the product work?
In its own rights Racing Bet Data is nothing more than a curiosity. To really get the most out of it (and what it is really designed for) you would be looking to develop your own betting system. By applying the data you can look for patterns that may prove profitable.
What is the initial investment?
Whilst Racing Bet Data is free to access, to really get the most out of it you must sign up for an advanced account. This costs £3.99 per month or alternatively you can pay £32.99 for the year. There is no money back guarantee in place.
What is the rate of return?
Because of the nature of Racing Bet Data there isn’t really a way of calculating a return on your investment. Realistically it all depends on whether or not you can find a system that will work for you.
Conclusion
For the casual bettor Racing Bet Data is of very limited value. Yes there is information that you can look at but really, without an idea of a strategy it will always just be of interest. Where Racing Bet Data really comes into play (as I have mentioned several times) is if you are looking to develop your own betting system. Because the database is so vast Racing Bet Data can definitely help you to identify historic patterns. From there it is simply a case of looking to see if they continue into the future. If you fall into the latter camp, then Racing Bet Data is an absolute bargain.
