IGS

A screen shot of Lay Advantage 2.2

           Now for the last dot point of the IGS criteria...
"The 10% Rule". What this means is when we were discussing the last topic of the money under the starter's field, the 10% rule refers to this. As we said there was $13,091 on the favourite horse Marius, hence 10% of $13,091 is $1,390. When the Lay Advantage 2.2 program selects the horse to lay trade on, you need to ensure that this horse that the program selects has only 10% or less, of the money value from under the favourite horse. Therefore, in the above example, once the program has chosen the horse to place the lay trade on, it can only have $1,390 or less, under the money value of this selected horse, as the favourite has $13,091.
           Another example is if the favourite horse had a money value of $100,000 under the starter's field, then you will need to make sure that the horse that the program selects has only 10% or less, of the money value from under this favourite horse which will be $10,000 or less. You would think that if this is part of the criteria that the database should be designed and implemented to take this data into its analysing stimulus, but instead it doesn't and you need to do this manually. Which brings me to "What's the point of having the database, when you have to do it yourself anyhow".

            Now keep in mind that this is the IGS Success Criteria in the demonstration, before you have purchased the Lay Advantage Program. They attempt to show you how easy it is to use this software and they tell you that you don't need any experience or knowledge with horse racing in order to be successful. Further, they also say that they prefer you to not have any horse racing experience or knowledge.

            Let me now take you through the IGS criteria definitions once you have purchased the software and how it now differs to the demonstration, and how the deceptive conduct at the time of demonstration is misleading giving a false representation. So now that you have the IGS software, they then want you to do training, and show you the "TattsBett" website.
           On this website you see a number of columns that mean certain things, but the columns that they want you to focus on are the "Rating", "L3S", and the "Form" columns.
           The "Rating" on the horses is the last column on this screen, and IGS's criteria is to not place any lay bets on a horse with a rating any higher than 94. The lower the rating the better.
           The "L3S" refers to the "Last 3 Starts" of this horse. In this column you will find combinations of say 112, 8X0 or 5X1 just for example sake and so on. What this means is that if we take the first example of 112, this means that this horse in the Last 3 Starts came first, then came first again, and then came 2nd. Let's take the second exampl 8X0, this means that this horse in the Last 3 Starts came 8th, then the X means that it was maiden, meaning that it hasn't raced for a while, (this could mean 6 months or more, which could mean that this horse has been pumped up on steroids ready to race again) and then for the last time it raced it came 0, meaning it came later than 9th or 10th, so it was way back in the field. And then lastly lets take the last example of 5X1, which means for the Last 3 Starts of this particular horse, it came 5th, and then you have the X, so it means it's a maiden and hasn't raced for a while and has more than likely been pumped up on steroids as when you come the last race, this horse came 1st. So it is more than likely that this horse was taken off racing for 6 months or so and given steroids and hard core training for it to come 1st in this last race. So you see here how horse racing can be so unpredictable, that no database can possibly give you the results of either a winner or loser.
            And then lastly you have the "Form" column which forms the IGS criteria. This column represents the previous form of each particular horse. For example you may see in this column DW, WT, or DWC, D means "That this horse has won before at this same race distance, but the win was at a different track". W means "That this horse has won a race on a track rated SLOW or HEAVY". SLOW or HEAVY meaning raining terms and the condition that the track is in. C means "That this horse has won before at this same race distance and at this same track".
And the list goes on.... there is also the letter T, B, H, N, X, F, P and L, which all mean different things again. So you can see quite clearly here that the "Lay Advatage 2.2" database certainly does not do it all for you. And the consumer is constantly going between the website to the program to be able make a decision on the lay trade horse, when that's what the database was suppose to do.

           So now that you have a clearer understanding of the whole IGS scam, you can quite clearly see how the criteria at demonstration contradicts the criteria after purchase, and how the information has been misleading. Now that you are a bit more aware of how scammers work, you can prevent yourself from falling victim.
