Introducing DH Racecards
DH Racecards are an abbreviated form of Horse and Greyhound Racecards that have been made available to all The Staking Machine (TSM) and our sister software The Bet Machine (TBM) subscribers.
DH Racecards are produced by a long term TSM user – Dave H (DH) who has a passion for data analysis.
The DH Racecards are available in addition to the built-in Racecards in TSM. They are designed for the bettor who wants to bet live throughout the day and find value where it exists. Although absolute systems could be derived from the DH Racecard such as betting on all Top Rated, in the long term, the profit is finding value through out the day. The DH Racecards have been made available to download as an Excel File meaning you can add your own notes throughout the day.
The DH Racecards can be found at our DH Racecards/Tips Portal.

If you are a TBM User (The Bet Machine – Automated Betting Bot sister software) then you can fully automate several of the Greyhound Systems with Betfair/Betdaq.
Results are updated around 0800 hours the following day and are shown on the Previous Results tab on the portal.
