50% Winners

[PICSIX]

I read on here once that a pro claimed a hit rate of 50% with a positive ROI of 50% as well, betting to win.

I would like to propose an experiment:

1. Anyone can post a selection they feel has a 50% or greater chance of winning.
2. A panel (of say the first 10 volunteers) will vote wether they agree (by majority).
3. Majority plays will be tracked for hit rate & ROI.
4. The experiment ends after 500 plays.

Anyone interested?

Not getting much action so I thought I would list a couple to get things started. Won't be here to follow up until later but hope some more join in.
9th at Belmont- #6 Effie Trinket and one for later 9th at Golden Gate #11, don't have the name in front of me right now but made a note and will be playing later barring no scratch.

ANYONE THAT CAN DO THAT IS TOO BUSY GOING TO THE BANK. :D

There is no doubt it can be done....the problem is how frequently it can be done.

if you asked me to get 50% winners from 500 races it would take me 10 years, but i guarantee i can do it with horses that pay over 2-1.

As far as I'm concerned, it's not about picking winners. It's about maintaining a consistent ROI above 20%.

I forget his moniker, but a guy on this board posted his high percentage picks on a regular basis a few times and he showed a profit. It's very difficult to sustain long term.

I have always though that posters that start threads like this are looking to reverse engineer somebody else's methods. Or at least bet them for a while.

I didn't post my selections but I was 4/7 at Kentucky Downs yesterday. :lol:
