Choosing an app
How we compare
There are plenty of ways to find racing tips. Here's a fair look at the main kinds, where The Alien Edge fits, and how to judge any of them.
Human tipsters
Strengths: Experience, stable whispers and a feel for a race that numbers can miss.
Worth checking: One person can only study so many races, and many don't publish a complete record of every tip.
Ratings and form sites
Strengths: Deep form data and ratings you can study yourself.
Worth checking: You still have to turn the ratings into picks, and the price you'd get is usually up to you to compare.
Other AI prediction apps
Strengths: They can read every runner in every race, every day.
Worth checking: Check whether they compare their chances with the market price, and whether every pick is published before the race and kept afterwards.
Where The Alien Edge fits
- Every runner in every Australian race is scored, every day.
- Our chance is compared with the TAB price, with the bookmaker's margin removed, so picks are about value, not just likely winners.
- The model leaves a race alone when the edge is too thin.
- Picks are locked before the races, and every one is published with its result, winners and losers.
- Results are counted the same way for every pick: 1 unit each way at TAB prices.
Five questions to ask any tipping app
- Is every pick published, including the losers?
- Are picks locked before the race, or added afterwards?
- How are results counted: which prices, which stake, and what happens to scratchings?
- Is there a long enough record to judge, and is it current?
- Does the app tell you why a horse is picked?
