hooves, Hong Kong racing was apparently a gold mine 20 years ago. The bettors' capping skills were virtually non-existant. Betting by lucky number was an important component of most pools.

A blackjack card counter named Bill Benter moved to Hong Kong, developed his own software to look for inefficiencies in the Hong Kong pools and made multi-millions. Sophisticated groups from Australia and elsewhere followed, and things eventually got tighter (more efficient). I don't know what the situation is like there now.

Here are a couple of links that mention Benter:

http://www.insidepokermag.co.uk/raci...yndicates.html

The first link mentions that RaceMate (racematenet.com) has a strong database of Hong Kong PP's. They have an online demo at:
