You are starting another challenge?

Why did you give up on your 30 day challenge? You were off to a good start.

After getting a little bored with it, I changed my mind. I changed it again thinking that using a differing method on a specific type of race with a particular type of horse would freshen it up a bit. Keeping these brief will keep me focused and interested.

After seriously considering giving up the sport, trying to figure out why I wasn't coming out ahead I figured out (after the last challenge) I lacked patience and discipline, that is to say short term losses would have me betting animals that I knew little of, hoping for the bailout. We all know how that works out.

I have a couple of more methods specific to certain types of races planned for a later challenges. After that maybe a putting them all together challenge.

The 6 in the second race at Finger Lakes got beat by a nose. Paid more to show than place.

I'm always curious why and when someone bets on FTS.

Without giving anything away .... What are you considering especially when there are more than one in the field?

If the top fitness/wo number for the race falls on a FTS, odds no lower than 9/2

Okay, I take it these are your own special calculated numbers.

I had previously asked this question and another responded he looks at breeding which I'm not good at.
