So I was more than surprised with last week's offer, saying "some users stated they can't afford the full amount of upgrade", (we are talking here a few hundred bucks not thousands), hence an offer was made to pay in installments!!!
I don't know about you, but it really made me think, why on earth would I buy an upgrade to something that doesn't even provide enough profit to pay for itself?
So what is it? the worst sales pitch I heard in a long time, or a rare outburst of honesty?

I use the program you are talking about, and find it does indeed pay for itself, even in the hands of an inexperienced driver like myself.
One thing that is very good about the program is that I am able to produce full fields in a format that I can use and then apply my own handicapping formulas.. to produce my own ratings, which are in profit.
Without this piece of software, what I do would take hours, this software does it all for me in seconds... Having said that the program is much more than a ratings spitter outterer.
The program now provides 3 sets of ratings in it's base configuration.. The form required to make the thing work is cheap as chips.. and from what I am reading it really does not need form to be useful, in some configurations
It is a good tool for what I do... The ratings it produces are not bad at all, I think they break even or are slightly in profit, flat stakes. But they are a good base platorm to do your OWN work on.. and that's how I use it.
This software allows YOU to test YOUR OWN system rules to work out if ya can make a profit or not...
I for one will not bag the software, nor the writer.. I find it very very useful, as a tool for formulating my ratings and organising form in a way in which I can use with no probs at all. I also find after sales service to be very good as well.
As for the profitabilty of the program, it is only as good as what you are prepared to feed it... It can hold your hand and give you selections, and lots of them do win... but I would rather do my own.. and it is a very good platform for that.
