Over the course of the past three or four months I have posted several times on the forum about some software I have been developing and I am now pleased to announce that Auto-Sys is ready for action. :happyboun
For anyone who hasn't seen any of my posts on the subject you may be wondering what Auto-Sys is. Well, in simple terms it is a simple, fast and accurate way of obtaining the qualifiers for any given system.
You may have seen the Win2Win systems chat thread and the discussions each day about the number of qualifiers in various systems and whether Horse A meets rule 4 and so. Auto-Sys takes all that uncertainty away, using the Racing Post racecard data to give you a list of horses that meet the rules. Job done.
My original plan was to electronically deliver the software as an Excel workbook to all purchasers, with each workbook submitted to me to add the required systems. I then had lengthy discussions with Keith about how best to protect his interests as well as my own, as it was his eBook systems I had automated and I had no easy way of telling if someone really had bought the Flat Quickfire eBook when they e-mailed their copy of Auto-Sys to me asking for those systems to be added. We also discussed how we would upgrade the software when the Racing Post update the code behind their website (as they did once or twice during Auto-Sys development). As you can imagine with so many different combinations of systems possible, every copy of Auto-Sys could be different (although still using the same core code). So we have come up with what we feel is an excellent solution to both these problems - instead of purchasing the software you subscribe to a service providing you with the qualifiers, in much the same way as racing club members do for their daily members' info updates.
So how does it work?
You are required to OWN the eBook before having access to the relevant Auto-Sys qualifiers. You need to PM/Email Keith your aMember username & which Quickfire eBooks you purchased in the past so he can manually check, and update your file. Once you have done that, jump to step 2 below. NB It may take 24hrs for your file to be updated.
1) Register with aMember if you have not got an account:
If you DO NOT have an account register HERE (http://www.win2win.co.uk/subs/signup.php?price_group=-2), select System Banker (http://www.system-banker.co.uk/), and use the code 15E35707E8 . This gives you an account without paying anything.
2) Go to the W2W subscription page and click on the 'System eBook & Auto-Sys' link at the top of the page.
3) For eBooks you have already purchased you should have the option to subscribe to the corresponding Auto-Sys information for £3/month (£1.50 for NH during the summer). You should also be able to purchase other W2W eBooks via this link, as the software is upgraded.
4) Once subscribed your list of subscriptions will be updated and the links provided can be used to get the qualifiers for the day.
If you have purchased any eBook you're also entitled to the free Auto-Sys qualifiers comprising the TJ Murphy, AP McCoy, Stoute80+ and Odds-on Heavy systems. You still need to confirm your purchase with Keith va PM/e-mail and have an aMember account though.
The lists of qualifiers will be available online before the start of racing each day. Updates should be on by midday but will often be on before 10am. The qualifiers will be based on the information available from the Racing Post website at the time of the update. The list will not be updated again during the day should the Racing Post update their racecards.
It'll be me, not Keith, providing this information (at least most days it will, Keith will deputise when I am unavailable for some reason). It is not included as part of the standard W2W racing club members' updates - only through the aforementioned subscriptions.
Of course, there is no obligation to subscribe to Auto-Sys for any of the eBooks you may have bought. You have the system rules and are free to run the system manually. But I think you'll agree that 10p a day is a pretty small price to pay for the time Auto-Sys subscriptions will save you. :thumbs
At present Auto-Sys subscriptions are only available for the NH Quickfire and Flat Quickfire eBooks. The remaining eBooks should be available in a week or so.
Note also that at this time Auto-Sys is only available for W2W systems. It is hoped that in the near future it can be made available for use with 3rd-party systems. These will not be subscription services and there will be a one-off charge for the software and the automation of the 3rd-party system. More details will follow on this as and when they are available.
