Yes, but if you dig down to their source, it's usually Exacta.

It's worth watching the Met Office's week-ahead forecasts on YouTube. They run through all the computer models for any given scenario. The complexity is staggering. Their Christmas Day forecast was dependent on a weather system on the West Coast of USA. And that was just to forecast seven days ahead. Go beyond that, there are so many variables, only a fool would make a prediction - or someone who will trouser some cash for a headline-grabbing forecast, no matter how accurate it turns out to be.
