I see the guy that does these is going to start charging, Luckyme.

Nothing wrong with that, but...Surprise, surprise!

I just can't imagine paying for what is essentially the aggregation of information that's freely available.

It was probably always 1.01 but, even so, the confirmation leaves me wishing I'd taken the proverbial even more now.

Doesn't bother me as I ignore it, but I think there are still too many newcomers here clearly operating with a long-term commercial agenda and being allowed to get away with it by the naive.

Er, if you are referring to luckyme as a newcomer then you’re pretty wide of the mark. 2016 trumps 2023 :D
 
That's right, barjon, always be sure to think the worst of me, just to be on the safe side!

Thanks, Chaumi!

All good fun!

Looking forward to Leopardstown!

I see nothing wrong with commercial operations that aren't scammers. They just need to be clear that's what they are.

A section on the forum for such to pay to advertise their wares would be my approach, that would help pay the running costs

Can't argue with the pragmatism here - doesn't affect me either way (as stated), but the thinly-veiled subterfuge does make one roll one's eyes.

Up front from the get-go is the way forward.

Who produces these & how much is he gonna start selling them for?

The creator was/has been/is plying them on a Telegram channel for a well(ish) known horse racing blog...and originating on at least one other forum, too, I believe. (If you've got Telegram, I can send you a link Pawras).

Think he set the price at £20 a month.
