This dataset contains 5000 records of features collected from various 'Tipsters' to predict a 'win' or 'lose' based upon the tipsters performance history.

The following columns are used in the dataset -

Track - The name of the track. Some tipsters favour some tracks more than others and this affects their profit margin.
Horse - The name of the horse.
Bet Type - Is the bet a 'Win' bet or an 'Each Way' bet.
Odds - The odds that the tipster presenting the bet say they got for the bet. When you actually place a bet you rarely get the predicted odds. Would the system be better served by lowering the odds by 10% to 20% which would be more realistic?
Result - Did the bet Win or Lose.
Tipster Active - Is the tipster active - true or false
