I have made figures on and off since I was about 12. Originally I made Beyer type figures only, but eventually graduated to sheets type figures when I worked out the ground loss and beaten length algorithms. I've also dabbled in total velocity figures, and lately spent my time working on my conversions from Europe, Hong Kong and Australia.
There's no need for me to make my own figures now (at least for North American horses); I'd rather buy numbers I trust, and spend my time handicappping. Fortunately it hasn't all been a waste of time. Having made figures helps me to spot numbers that are out of whack with reality and has saved me a lot of money over the years.
