The Winning Edge
CompuBet publishes computerized point ratings for every horse in every race, covering virtually every harness track in the United States and Canada, plus North American thoroughbred racing.
CompuBet Reports give you cutting-edge analysis of harness and thoroughbred tracks. Every horse is rated and ranked, so you can spend your time on betting strategy instead of the program. Reports are available through our partner, TrackMaster.
Daily computerized ratings for every harness track in the U.S. and Canada. Speed, class, driver, post position and form are all factored in, with a Predictability Index for every horse.
Get Harness ReportsMore powerful than ever. Adjust the most important handicapping variables and build an unlimited variety of custom reports that nobody else will have. Combine the power of CompuBet with your own knowledge and theories.
Get CompuBet ProCovers North American tracks and rates every horse in every race, with Power, Speed, Pace and Class ratings, jockey/trainer stats, and the same Predictability Index.
Get Thoroughbred ReportsEvery day we analyze over 75 North American harness tracks and roughly 15,000 to 17,000 race lines. An accurate speed rating needs three ingredients. Leave out any one of them and the numbers mislead.
Each horse's actual time, converted to a mile using formulas built from horses who raced at both distances. We only use clean, competitive lines.
We compare today's times against each horse's own three-week standard at that track. Averaging 30 to 40 qualifying horses shows how fast or slow the track played that day.
We compare horses who raced at two tracks within six to eight weeks. That shows how a speed rating earned at one track translates to another.
Every horse gets a 0–100 reliability score from 10 factors that measure how complete and consistent its past performance data is. Skip the races you can't trust. A rating of 80 or more is probably a good bet. On top of all this we run hundreds more calculations per horse (post position, driver, form, class), adding up to millions per report.
CompuBet picks the contenders. Turning those picks into a profit is up to you, and a few simple rules help you avoid losing constantly.
Some races can't be handicapped, like the cheap trot where the only horse with speed has broken stride four races running, or a late-October maiden pace. You can't make money betting those races.
If your strategy says to quit when you're $100 ahead, then quit, even if it's only the third race. If you can't quit, at least don't raise your bets.
Don't switch from win/place to trifectas halfway through the card. Stick with a reliable approach and your hits will come. You don't want them to come right after you've changed strategies.
Decide your horses, amounts and bet types before the races start. Change only for a scratch or a significant late driver change, and only when the decision is objective.
CompuBet began in 1991 as a harness racing information publication. Its main feature was posting daily computerized ratings for virtually every harness track in the United States and Canada. Since then we've added a sister thoroughbred product and many new reports and features.
Founder Steven Mancine trained and drove harness horses for about twenty years, at times placing on the top driver lists at Scarborough Downs and Lewiston Raceway. With a background in business, accounting, computers and statistics, he set out to give bettors a real edge.
His longtime friend, partner and co-owner of several horses, the late Gaylord Boutilier, was a big part of CompuBet for many years. After retiring from business, Gaylord devoted much of his time to the project, and his contributions helped make CompuBet what it is today.
Our goals have stayed the same:
Each bettor is pitted against the other bettors. The best prepared bettors have an increased opportunity to make a profit, at the expense of the less prepared.
