In my experience with horse racing systems, it’s unusual for promoters to say anything about how the system works. To find out, you must hand over your money before “the magic secret” is revealed. Most of the time this turns out to be neither magic nor secret. This, however, is not the case with Steve Carter’s “The Edge” system.
Steve, the author of several successful systems, is not shy about coming forward and saying what the system is all about. The Edge system works only on the flat in handicap races. Basically, it highlights the horses that are improving faster than their handicap mark.
The system identifies horses running at a disadvantage with potentially falsely low weights due to their improvement. Having identified these “improvers”, it is suggested that you support them for up to your next 3 races. Once they’ve won a race, you stop following them, as the handicap will surely move them up in weights. If they don’t win in three races, you remove them from your list.
The Edge system has shown a profit of £29,118 in 6 months during 2008. This was made up for by backing 800 runs at betting level and finding 260 winners. Even betting €10 you could have won almost €3,000 during the flat season last year. So far this year, The Edge system shows a gain of 108 points as of June 16.
Using the system you can expect to average 4-5 bets per day and it is unusual to not get at least one winner per day. As you use the system, you will create a list of horses to watch. However, if you purchase The Edge, you can simply log on to Steve’s web page to see the full current list of horses to follow. This can help you compare your list with Steve’s or just use his list to apply the system.
For The Edge buyers, Steve will send out a daily listing over the phone or via the internet indicating which classifieds are running that day. His service will continue until the end of the current flat racing season. Also, when he buys, he will receive a list of current horses to track so he can start using the system right away if he wants to.
My only criticism of the system is that presumably if you want to continue receiving the updates next year, there will be an additional payment. However, by then you will either have gotten into the practice of finding the horses to track yourself or have discovered that the system is so profitable that you won’t mind paying for the additional service.
The system log speaks for itself and the thinking behind it seems solid. If you are looking for a reliable system that can continue to bring you profit for the foreseeable future, it is worth checking out in my opinion.
