All-Ways Special?

[JimG]

I use the term "special" loosely here, but evidently All-Ways is offering flat rate pricing for all the files for the DelMar or Saratoga meet. I have not done the math but am not sure it is much less than $7 per file as they are fairly short meets.

2 other things of note. It does not include files prior to the start date. ..a bummer since you would want to have a decent sized database.. The other thing is it does not say if the results files (25 cents) are included.

I'm not biting since I am currently using other software, but thought I would post the url if somebody wanted to check out.

I count 36 racing days at Saratoga. This would total $5.25 per card. Unclear if this package would also be applicable to the 20% Brisnet customer discount ($200 minimum wagered per month). That would drop the cost per card to $4.20.

Here are the calculations.

All-Ways data files are $14 for regular members, $10 for silver members and $7 for gold members. If you have a BrisBet account and wager $200+ during the month, Bris gives you a 20% discount on the products that you purchase. So, a gold member who wagers more than $200 in a month will receive each All-Ways data file for $5.60.

The Del Mar meet runs from July 21 through September 8, six days each week, for a total of 43 days.

43 days times $14 = $602
43 days times $10 = $430
43 days times $7 = $301
43 days times $5.60 = $240.80

Bris is charging $225 for the meet, so that's a savings for every type of account.

The Saratoga meet runs July 23 through September 6, also six days each week, for a total of 39 days.

39 days times $14 = $546
39 days times $10 = $390
39 days times $7 = $273
39 days times $5.60 = $218.40

Bris is charging $189 for the meet and again it's a savings for every type of account.

I'm sure that one of the reasons that Bris is doing this is because All-Ways Version 11 will be released in July. That's also the reason behind the 5 free data files and 20 free archive data files this month (June).

Thanks for fixing my racing day count and doing the calculations.
