What is the Consensus Method?
The consensus method is a horse racing ratings strategy which uses the daily Horse Racing Ratings created and published by One Stop Racing.
1) THE CONSENSUS METHOD (version 1.jb)
The Consensus Method is fast way of getting going with One Stop Ratings.
Navigate to the ratings for the day you wish to study and go to the “Full Ratings” section, look for the races where all the columns have the same horse top rated i.e. top ranked on LR, HS , SR and OSR.
You will see the ratings presented as shown below with the top rated in every column in bold. When all the bold numbers are lined up we have a consensus and that horse is a selection on the Consensus Method.
Version 1.jb – One Stop Ratings Member James contacted us recently and added a couple of modifications that make perfect sense, firstly he eliminates those races where 20% or more of the horses have incomplete data. We call these the NEDs (not enough data).
Then he eliminates all races where there are joint top ranked on any of the 4 ratings.
Final criteria for The Consensus Method (version 1.jb)
- Top Ranked on all 4 columns LR, HS , SR and OSR
- Eliminate the NED’s
- Eliminate any races where there are joint top ranked in any column.
