Dean :ThmbUp:

looks like another good issue


Right now, I'm looking at CJ's division leaders for the breeder's cup.

Looks like the Classic could end up being a good race to handicap this year,

and the Manhattan could be a key race for the turf division.

Thanks Robert.

I like looking at the TF numbers. In the UK (you know, Im sure) they offer their numbers out like that regularly. I like that they're doing it here too.

Great issue, brought up a memory of a poster bringing up equilottery a few weeks back.

Always love them. Reread that Jackpot6 article and it does bring up great points, along with the article aboutsupporting low takeout pools.

I'm actually wondering though if the Equinlottery would actually be better than someone doing the straight lottery? Is the vig/takeout the same on that Equinlottery as the track takeout i wonder?

Looks great on an iPad.... :ThmbUp:

From what I read nothing is set in stone. They are looking at pools like the superfecta to start, hoping to get to the scratcher ticket type people. Brad and his consultants seem to think that a lottery player who gets paid something often (even if small) can keep them coming back.

This is a little different to the V75 in Sweden, where a quick pick can be worth millions.

The bottom line for us as players - ie what we hope will happen - is that pool size will go up, possibly with more "dumb money" so we have better pools to play into, with hopeful better returns.

I sincerely hope it gets off the ground. Horse racing needs more new money.

PS: Thanks Ralph, I read it on the iPad too. Looks super.

Great read, I liked the 80/20 article. I might give it a shot

[Grits]

I, too, thought the 80/20 piece was excellent. If one can't pick winners of 1 or 2 races, what makes them feel they can pick the winners of 4 and 5?

All the features were good.
