What Is RR?
Read Ratings
Read Rating is a detailed form analysis service developed by Australia’s foremost bookmaker and punter, Mark Read.
Read Rating combines the very latest technology, sophisticated communications software and an elite stable of leading racing analysts.
So remember, when you see the information on the Blue Screen at your favourite Read Rating venue that you are benefiting from years of racing acumen!
Read Rating offers you the three most valuable punting requirements in today’s market – it’s live, can be seen on-screen and it is relayed in a concise, bottom line, easy to follow format.
Your form filter
The blue Read Rating screens act as a form filter by isolating the proven winning chances in any given race.
These winning chances are displayed in numerical order, along with their Read Rating Dividend (RR DIV), which is the true Value dividend according to our analysis.
These horses have each qualified for winning consideration by satisfying a unique selection formula enveloped by Mark Read.
It is important when assessing a runner’s chances that the RRDIV is compared with the approximate Totalisator dividends, to ensure you are getting the right value.
Your value barometer
The Read Rating Dividend – RRDIV – reflects in dollar unit terms, the true value of each selection, according to its rated winning potential.
As a TAB price is merely a pool price, it is based on the popularity of each runner with punters, as distinct from their proven winning credentials.
The TAB price can frequently be influenced by irrelevant factors (e.g. media favourites) and does not necessarily reflect a runner’s True Value. This is where Read Rating is unique, acting as your “barometer” in the betting market.
Your Winnings Edge
The applications of the Read Rating technology are as varied as the betting options available to today’s punter.
Read Rating was developed with your individual punting strategies in mind to give you the winning edge.
Whether you choose to simply back the horses offering TAB “overs” (those listed with a TAB price in excess of the RRDIV), box a quinella taking all selections or a boxed Trifecta, Read Rating has proved to be universally adaptable.
The Read Rating system is considered the pre-eminent rating system in Australia in more than nine years continuous operation.
Mark Read's Tips for Successful Punting
1. Isolate the winning chances.
2. Maximise punting value. Avoid taking “under the odds” and exploit the “overs”.
3. Be consistent in your betting strategies.
