FormBet ratings now with Master Speed !
FormBet ratings are already THE best and most consistent ratings on the net without doubt but now there is an additional reason to use them for your punting with the Master Speed rating (MS) and rank (MSR) which is an average of the horse’s last 10 speed figures with an adjustment for recent progression.
Using the 2 example races below you may be wondering whether to go with Blazing Bailey or The Sliotar at Ffos Las and whether to go with Wanchai Whisper or Magenta Strait at Wolverhampton. Obviously price is a deciding factor and the two winners were clearly the better value but as you can see they were also ranked 1st for the Master Speed figures !
This is just an additional piece of information that can be used when deciding between runners and also to pinpoint outsiders whose Master Speed ratings are better than their form figures may suggest.
FormBet subscribers now get the ratings sheet by 8pm each evening along with an updated by 11am to adjust for non-runners followed by a 3rd email before racing with the pick of those from the ratings and any advised bets. Along with this there is also the weekly golf betting advice and access to the private forum to discuss the ratings, all for less than £1 a day which is excellent value for money for the information provided.
Signup now to get full benefit and access to the ongoing Cheltenham trends previews or just download the ratings for the day from as little as £1 from the homepage.
