The Real Story on Racing Software as a Home Business
By Tommy Xenophon
If you search for software that allows you to profit from the horse racing industry you”ll be overwhelmed by the number of results. There are hundreds of horse racing software packages out there but only a handful that can provide a solid platform for a home business. These will allow you to earn a comfortable living of $50,000 per year and up. An added benefit is that you can operate the system around your own schedule. So, to help separate the wheat from the chaff, refer to the points in this article to guide you as you do your due diligence.
Horse racing software is a great way to make money and it serves as the basis for a lot of people’’s primary or secondary income. Earnings of $50,000 per year and up are not uncommon. Plus, the most successful business owners don”t know the front of a horse from the back. If you are looking at software that studies horses” form and their records, don”t bother. That type of approach is better left to people who are more interested in casinos. Instead, focus on the few reputable software and training packages that rely on statistics and probabilities.
As the saying goes: Caveat Emptor…Buyer Beware. There are a few good companies out there that support their product, but there are plenty of others that are of the fly-by-night variety. Their software only works during a demonstration and by the time you call them to register your problems you will find that they have flown the coop…with your cash feathering their nest. There are a few ways to avoid this, however, while still being able to participate in a great money making opportunity. You just have to do your homework, check the right web sites, and avoid the ones that are often used by unscrupulous businesses to smear the name of more established competitors.
People try to short-cut the research process at their own peril. Don”t just type a company name into Google and believe whatever comes up. What often happens is that you will be taken to websites that provide wrong information under the banner of consumer protection.
Instead of protecting a consumer, the bogus info is posted so that one company can anonymously slander another. One way to perpetrate a scam like this is for an employee or director of one company to pose as a “victim” of their competitor. They make false accusations and the internet ball starts rolling. Where it stops no one knows. And no one should care where it stops because it wasn”t factual in the first place.
A website that allows posts like this almost never takes a single step to investigate the truth of the allegations posted. All they do is a provide a place for people to write whatever they want. A lot of those sites even sell advertising space to the company posting the false info.
Another red flag for companies that aren”t all they claim to be is that they are offering automatic software. Using horse racing software can definitely provide you an excellent secondary or primary stream of income, but make no mistake about it: you will actually have to operate the software if it has been developed by a reputable company. It will not make money for you automatically. If it’’s automatic, consider that you will automatically lose money. There’’s a huge difference between pointing you to strong probabilities of success based on a mathematical computer algorithm and promises of auto pilot success while you sip a cocktail or have a coffee.
Rather than trusting websites that specialize in anonymous posts, consumers are better served by doing research through reliable sources. Search for a company’’s name on the web sites of major publications that do fact checking or on the web sites of government organizations. Take a few minutes and call the offices of these organizations that truly have the public’’s interest at heart: organizations like governmentally sponsored Consumer Affairs offices and offices of Fair Trading.
Also, court proceedings that identify a company, or its director, as guilty of various charges are available to be searched online. These are the sites and offices where your research emphasis should be placed.
It’’s also a great idea to check to see if a company’’s director, or key employees, have used other names in the past or been barred from operating businesses in particular jurisdictions. This is the kind of information that prospective buyers should be targeting rather than the rants often found on virtually unmonitored web forums.
The best companies that offer racing packages come with extended training, verifiable results, and the ability to watch the action live: not just at an official presentation but in a client’’s home. It’’s well worth your time to take advantage of these offerings. After all, you”ll be earning good money, but these packages are not cheap either.
The important thing to remember is that everything on an online posting board is not true. And it may be up there for a reason completely different from the one that is stated. Instead, stick to websites and phone calls to offices with valid information.
Other points that you will want to investigate include: how long the company has been in business; the level of support and training you will receive; and the number of satisfied clients you can speak to.
