Don\’t Buy Horse Racing Software Until You Read This
By Tommy Xenophon
If you do a search online for horse racing software you will get about 4.3 million results. Of course not each and every one of them is a product, but there are hundreds of horse racing software products out there and you need to separate the good from the bad from the just plain ridiculous. Otherwise you are going to end up throwing away money and wasting your time.
Horse racing software is a legal, fun, and legitimate way to make money from home, at least in many countries. Two countries where horse racing software is very popular and can be very profitable are Australia and New Zealand. Many people who are aware of this take advantage of the opportunity.
Interestingly, people who are most successful know nothing about horses or jockeys. Instead they rely on mathematical probabilities. Of course, there are also people who think that everything pertaining to horse racing software is fraudulent. That is not the case.
There have definitely been horse racing software companies that have perpetrated fraud on their customers. Many of them sell software that doesn”t work. Others sell software that works for a short time as long as the company is in business, but then the computer system behind it is shut down and the owners of the company walk away with customers” funds.
To take advantage of the money available to be made through this avenue, and to protect yourself, you need to do your own research. I cannot stress enough the importance of researching a particular company for yourself.
Many people try to short-cut this process by typing the name of the company into Google and believing everything that pops up. What they don”t realize is that often the information they are reading is false, misleading, outdated, or incomplete.
This false information may be put online for a variety of reasons. The most common reason is that company “A” is out to discredit a competitor, so they run a smear campaign. A popular way of doing this is for an owner or employee of company “A” to sign up to a website posing as a disgruntled customer of a competitor.
Company “A” then makes false allegations about their competitor. The websites where these posts are made have no procedures in place and no incentives to verify allegations. They simply provide an online space for people to write whatever they want.
In most cases, these same websites will also sell advertising space to the company which posted the false allegations in the first place. There is even an entire industry where businesses promise to restore the good name of falsely accused companies for a fee of several thousand dollars. It is a vicious circle that isn”t very different from primary school children circulating rumors about classmates out of spite.
The best way to protect yourself is to make sure the research you do comes from reliable sources. Most often these are governmental groups such as state and national offices of Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading. Legal proceedings are also matters of public record.
Focus your research on checking to see whether any legal judgments have been found against the company you are considering, and the directors of that company. You should also do a background check to see if the person you are dealing with, or the director of the software company, has ever been known under a different name.
It is not uncommon for unscrupulous people or companies to use different names. Protection comes from researching reliable sources and first hand investigation.
Purchasing a software and training package that can earn you well over $50,000 per year from your own home is not something to be dismissed because some people in the industry are unscrupulous. That would be like refusing to purchase a car because you have heard about dishonest car salesmen.
Instead, make sure that when you do online research that the websites you are checking have information that has been validated. Otherwise it is just a rumor which may have been put out there to intentionally deceive you.
You also want to investigate how long the company has been in business. If the company has only been in business for a few years that isn”t a long enough track record to ensure that they will be there to support you and your system several years down the track.
Support is another key area that you need to scrutinize. Find out how many trainers and technical support staff the company has. There is a good chance that you will need to call on them for assistance at some point.
If the company downplays the need for training and support or it offers an “automatic system” that is a sure sign that you should beware. Everyone loves the idea of being able to make money automatically. But the idea is not reality.
There is no horse racing system that will make money for you while you sleep, or while you work at your regular job. If you choose to believe that money grows on trees, and a company offers you one of those trees that is another sign that you should beware.
If a company claims their software automatically makes money without you doing anything, then it will also automatically lose money for you. If a company only talks about positive trading and barely mentions the inevitable losses that come with every system that is another sign to beware.
Instead, when you are operating the system and losses occur you should be trained and prepared to turn the system off, wait for better conditions, or contact support. Do not depend on promises of an automatic system because before you know it your account will “automatically” be emptied.
