soodum just to clarify my thinking ...how many people do you think use formgrids??

Almost zero of the punters that the operators cater to have ever heard of formgrids,so i dnt know titch

we didnt ask for money for ourselves, we asked for money for development to enhance racing for punters,,, racing turnovers come from punters,,, SA sent a delegation to Turkey,, we were prepared to pay all our own costs,, all we needed was for SA representative Rob De Kock to arrange us 5 mimutes to speak on the podium,,he refused point blank to help after all my pleading,,, this is for the development of racing,, ,, he had time to speak at the conference but he never went,, he could so easy have given us his spot,, why did i give such a beautiful site free to one and all,,, for the betterment of the game,,, this has led to my stand,

Peter Gibson from racing SA was kind enough to offer us space at their stand at the conference,, Deez said he would help us in any way,,, but when I considered the option of trying to do one on one chats to foreign delegation members opposed to 5 min on the podium i decided not to go

S I take it that was tongue in cheek?/ seeing as the operaters do cater for people who take p/6 j/pots and pa,s etc..

A very sad day, I have over 1000 followers who use my selections on a daily basis which I obtain by the study of FORMGRIDS. As many of you will know, I have made countless videos on how to use this exceptional service and have posted them on YouTube.
South African racing authorities are very short sighted in their attitude and their revenue will suffer, as without informed selections, there will be no confidence to make larger bets.
I also believe that over the course of the next few years, horse racing in South Africa will slowly diminish with the closure of more and more tracks. Their reason for this is financial, as when overseas racing is broadcast they only have to pay a broadcast fee and do not have to contribute to horse racing prizes in this country.
It is not in their interest to screen South African horse racing.
From my side, I will now concentrate more on the UK racing and hope that my clients use Ladbrooks or other bookmakers and not the TAB

Help from RdK......would anyone expect somebody who runs(sic) an organization that does not go halfway to performing it's function, to have any idea what formgrids is,represents, or its value to racing.
IMO his greatest contribution to racing will be his retirement.

Mr A and Titch - if you want Punters to add their voice to your cause (as per your web site) - how do we do this?
create a petition facility or give us the email address of the person you think needs to act

Formgrids is NOT only used by punters it is used by many other sectors as well..breeders I am sure are going to miss it too as are owners looking to buy...watched an interesting doc last night on Al Capone and how he ended up after bullying people his whole life..lol

Good luck Mr A..you a good man

thanks oscar,,SA operators have watched for eight years,, not one of them with enough insight to see ahead,, now they hear at the Asian conference that internet is the way forward,, but when we shout that locally they ignore us,,, so now what, reinvent the wheel,, how much will they spend trying to build what ive got,,who will fill his pockets,,, but the the leaders of the industry have said compter users are too small to worry about,,, what i cant understand is computer users are their owners, trainers, jockeys, breeders, bookmakers, big players, young blood etc,, the biggest investors in the game,, anyway they control your hard earned money,, kick their butts i say
