Hello. I am reviving a passion from about 1990. Online wagering! How long has this online wagering been widespread?
So I am using a nice handicapping technique I used way back when. It can readily and consistently make good selections at at about a 28 to 32% win rate, which you can help along with selecting plays. Also, roi can be boosted by limiting chalk. I would like to understand true odds better for that purpose.
My little system is based on 3 "votes" based on class, speed, and back speed. There are also one or two angles I use on occasion. The highest numbers go with the contenders most of the time, but this weekend and last weekend at gulfstream park there has been the most confounding, OR REVEALING, occurence of the NEXT number horse coming in.
This would not be so unusual if it was a random scatter of other horses from their positions, but this is from almost completely from that "NEXT" of one particular of my votes, the back speed vote. Very odd since this can be anywhere from the 2nd to the 7th or so entry depending on angles and eliminations
The odds have gone up when it does this though i occasionally hitbthose already. A couple have done it the last two weekends. The 43.00 winner in gp6 and the 15.80 in the second were examples... i almost grabbed the 43 one and there have been some in the 30s.
I never noticed this in the 80s but maybe i just was not paying attention. Maybe i have just discovered Gulfstream just went virtually completely to this tendency yesterday today and last weekend - Santa Anita did this a few races but mostly made numbers sense based on my universe. Fair Grounds was consistent for the most part. I intend to set up an analysis database and bet select system soon - the manual markup work is killing me. :rolleyes:
Maybe it always happened and playing one track "live" didnt let me see it before. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I ķnow there are very knowledgeable folks here.
