As I work for the company, via employee purchase at a significant discount I have received delivery of a HP IPAQ 214
Using the process and formulas outlined in Barry Meadows book, I have created a spreadsheet to
edge % = probability of win x odds – probability of loss
optimal bet % = edge / odds
When I’m on course or in the betting shop I use the downloaded tissue on the device to conduct the calculations above on the fly as the odds change right up until the moment the horses arrive at the post.
I have no excuses now, if my odds line is semi accurate, a 20% or more edge over the crowds’ odds should restrict my selections to value bets only.
In theory!

2Thanks.. currenty use my trusty Nokia E63 to check prices on BF however, the excel phone application on the phone is does not process certain spreadsheet formats, hence the PDA. The next step is setup my new piece of kit to work under optimal conditions.. planning to take it out for a trial run at Bath next saturday.
