Daily Ratings.

Every day, I post my Daily Ratings spreadsheet to all of the members who are paid subscribers to The Life of a Professional Gambler (TLOAPG).

I have researched a large number of systems from this data and have provided the members with access to many of them.

have just published my first eBook, all about my Ratings and how Ratings can be used to profit in Horse Racing. You can get it on Amazon here and on Apple here.

Anyone receiving the ratings can also come up with own ideas and systems, creating something that is unique for themselves.

The Ratings and Systems are posted in our Telegram group for those that subscribe to TLOAPG (subscriptions are just €7 per month or €70 per year, how cheap is that!) and members can interact and share thoughts on the data and systems and even collaborate to create new approaches.

You can sign up to my substack page to get the Daily Ratings and Systems and be a part of the group here: https://progambler.substack.com/

When time allows, I also post some insights from my software and share screenshot from my own bespoke race cards, highlighting horses that have stats that suggest they can run well on the day. These will mainly be posted at the weekends but there may be some nuggets during the week too.

Most of my systems are based on Ratings and the core of what I do these days is from my 5 own bespoke and unique ratings:

Race Specific Rating:

I rate every horse in every race, primarily based on Speed and Official Rating. Speed/OFR at the course (or a similar course), at the distance, on the going etc. I also incorporate something for the Trainer, Jockey, Days LTO and a few other things, but it is primarily Speed and OFR (most emphasis on speed). I then rank them for each race, based on the rating score.

Composite Rating:

For various elements, Course (or a similar course), Distance, Going, Draw (Flat/AW), Ability, Trainer, Jockey etc. I allocate a score for previous wins and places to get a total score. I then rank them for each race, based on that Rating score.

PRB Rating:

Percentage of Rivals Beaten. This is calculated for the horse, for the distance and going etc. I then rank them for each race, based on that Rating score. If a horse has no PRB (maiden run or not run at course distance etc), it gets a score of 99 to indicate this and when I calculate the total, I take an average to get the rank.

Speed Rating:

I use the Proform Speed Ratings in my software and for this Rating, I add together the average of the last 3 runs, the top speed at the course (or a similar course), the distance and on the going and then I rank them based on the total. If a horse has no Speed Rating (maiden run or has no qualifying speeds for some other reason), it gets a score of 99 to indicate this.

MSAI Rating:

In April 2025, I started to use MySPortsAI (a Machine Learning/AI software tool specifically for Horse Racing and Sports Betting) and from the software I have created a new Rating from models I have created within the software.

I also create a Combined Rating, adding some of the ranks for the above ratings into a single amalgamated score.

Using the above, each day I create a spreadsheet and make it available to my members in my Telegram group. Each member can then create their own systems, using their own Excel skills, thereby giving themselves a unique ‘edge’.

From time to time, I also provide systems that I have found when interrogating the data and between us, we increase our chances of making consistent profits.

This is an example of what the current Daily Ratings Spreadsheet looks like:

An explanation of some of the other fields in the ratings spreadsheet fields:

The Combined Total/Rank, is the total of all the ranks (excluding the Speed and MSAI Ratings and one other commercially sensitive Rating, which is not mine).

The Comp. Total is the Total for the Composite Score, on which the Composite Rating is based.

No of 100’s is the number of elements within the Composite Rating with a maximum score.

No. < 50 is the number of low scoring elements within the Composite Rating.

Clear By is the difference between the scores (e.g. if the second ranked horse scored 300 and the top rated is 400, the ‘Clear By’ will be 100).
