How/Why I use Proform

The overriding enjoyment for me in using Proform is that it explodes so many myths and offers no hiding places. I am sometimes amazed about how poorly some big names actually perform in areas that we are led to believe they excel. 

I gave up punting full time about 3 years ago because travelling everyday to the races was wearing me out and costing a fortune. I am now finding that almost every race or meeting offers some sort of betting angle which is seriously exciting. The extent of the Proform database is vast and I know I have not begun to even scratch the surface.

It is a serious punting tool and I am looking forward to getting back involved.

How/Why I use Proform

The Proform software has become an essential tool in my analysis of races and betting. It's the first thing I use on each race as I try to work out how a race will be run and being able to do this whilst seeing the horses listed in draw order is really useful, especially in big field handicaps.

The "Trainer Trends" and "Sire Stats" buttons on the main "Data View" can be a great way to find an angle into a race while the "System Builder" is a fantastic tool that can give you the answers to any number of questions.

The speed with which I can find out pieces of information that I previously wouldn't have known where to start with is the thing I love most about Proform, as well as being able to display the information in the way I want to see it.  

If I had one piece of advice it would be to stick with it, the sheer amount of information can be daunting at first, but as you work your way around the system and customise it to your needs you'll start to wonder how you ever managed without it.

How/Why I use Proform

The beauty of Proform is its flexibility and ease of use. This allows seemingly complex queries to be quickly tested with the ability to drill down to the lowest level of variable, perfect for further tweaking to further improve the results of positive angles.

The fact you can tailor it so well to your individual requirements gives it a really personal feel.

Quite simply invaluable
