Can we have some proof of that? Please? Even losing a little would be acceptable.

Neither will I, has nothing to do with him personally, or the software, my question was intended to point out the error in the sales pitch, and unintended consequencies thereof.

But since you have mentioned that you have to put in a lot of work to make your own profitable selections, allow me to make my own remarks.

My view is that if I buy a rating programme that's the end of it.
I want it to produce selections which are returning a profit, without my input, apart from normal maintenance and update of data.

I am sure you did not read my previous postings re. having the satisfaction of selecting your winners yourself, versus paying for it.
I used to pay for it (including the one in question) and it did not work, so I had to develop my own rating which DOES produce a profit just running the programme and betting on the selections.
The point I wanted to make then, and I am making now, is that I do not enjoy collecting data, update databases, do the rating etc. but I DO ENJOY WINNING money.
I acknowledge, that some people do like to roll their own, whether winning or losing, I wish good luck to them, I would still prefer to pay for it, provided it delivered the goods, just as I pay for the plumber, dentist or any other expert, life is too short to learn all trades!
Good luck!
