When using RDSS, I recommend NOT playing races with more than 2 FTS (unless you have to: Contest, horizontal bet) and being extra careful with a group of very lightly races 2 YO Maidens. You may indeed win a few of these races at good prices, but be prepared to lose a high percentage of them.
Why not consider picking a distance and surface (say, short routes, dirt; or medium sprints), and specializing in those until you can get the winner in your top 5 of that specialty 90% of the time. Don't just accept the automatic numbers blindly: hone your skill at identifying (at least a lot of the time) if a horse can Win the race or finish close, then include ONLY those horses among your Top 5 BLBL.
You are welcomed to send me the RDSS export spreadsheet of your next 20 races and I'll be happy to comment, if you like.
