CompuTrak has listened to you.

[thoroughbred]

First I want to thank you, the P.A.'ers, who have purchased CompuTrak or have been trying the free Evaluation Version.

While you found the CompuTrak information extremely useful to your handicapping, some of you gave us excellent suggestions for improving our product. We have listened to you. We have incorporated many of your suggestions into our CompuTrak major upgrade: CompuTrak Handicapper 2005 for Windows.

You can go to our Web Site: www.revelationprofits.com to see the result.

One major new feature which users can use quickly and profitably is the CompuTrak's Odds Line, a primary new output value of our newly added "OddsLine and Summary" Report.

This Odds Line value is based on my ongoing research where I found that a useful Odds Line is achieved using three of the key values generated by CompuTrak. Those of you who have used earlier CompuTrak versions will recognize these three: Early Speed, Present Form, and Magic Number.

The intent of the Oddsline and Summary is to provide you with more of a "Black Box," where BRIS/DRF data flow in and the handicapping data flow out. You will find it quick, useful, and efficient for your handicapping.

CompuTrak is now a 100% Windows program (there are no longer any DOS prompts to navigate). All features are available with just a few mouse clicks.

Furthermore, registration for a free, full-featured evaluation of CompuTrak Handicapper 2005 is now simpler.

All CompuTrak features of previous versions have been retained. These features include, among others, our Extensive Report, for more in-depth handicapping, and our Charts, for a graphical depiction of a horse's progress, paceline-by-paceline.

At our Web Site, www.revelationprofits.com, you can learn more about the new CompuTrak and how to obtain the full-featured Evaluation Version. The Evaluation Version, i.e., a Demo, is the complete program; nothing is omitted. You can also find out how to purchase CompuTrak there.

We have reduced the price to $119. Those who order during one's evaluation trial period may purchase CompuTrak for only $89. This is obviously a great value as you can see for yourself when you use CompuTrak Handicapper 2005. And, of course, those who purchase CompuTrak always have a full, money-back guarantee.

We will soon contact those of you who have either purchased the previous CompuTrak or have downloaded the previous Evaluation Version. We will provide you with special information for replacing your present version with the new. Recent evaluators may need to renew their evaluation license. If you have any questions, or want us to get in touch with you sooner, e-mail us at: support@revelationprofits.com

When I download and process a file I get the error:

Microsoft cannot launch wordpad.

I tried to e-mail your support address but it keeps coming back as undeliverable

csmith,
We're here to help. First check that you are putting in the correct support address. We are receiving requests and questions from others without any problem. The correct address is: support@revelationprofits.com.
Tell us exactly what steps you performed before you got that error message. Is it possible, although unlikely, that your computer does not have WordPad?

[csmith]

Hi Thoroughbred,

I am copying and pasting your e-mail address. It seems that you have been blocked from Roadrunner here in the Tampa bay area..

Ok here is my problem:

I installed the program. I did the registration.

I stared the program, clicked on the sample file

I clicked on begin processing

When the chhose option button comes up I click on Oddsline

I then get a pop up error which says Microsoft wordpad is not launching

I am running Windows XP Pro and yes I have Word Pad installed and it is working when I go into it


I think that covers it

thanks,
Cliff

[thoroughbred]

csmith,

Thanks for the information.

Let's first see if the program produced the files you are seeking,

Then we can try to understand why WordPad is not opening in yout computer.

Try bringing them up in WORD.

The OddsLine and Sumlmary report has a file name that begins with the trackcode, followed by the date, and ending with the letter, "S." The more extensive report ends with "E"

[csmith]

Yes I can see the files when I open them in Wordpad

[thoroughbred]

I had mentioned opening them in WORD, because I wanted you to use a common utility just to check that the files were processed by your computer.

Your opening the files, manually, in WordPad was even better since we have designed those files to be read by WordPad, which is a very generic utility.

We are examining possible reasons why your computer doesn't automatically open them and will get back with you. In the meantime, you can just open WordPad as you did.

BTW, if your computer balks at opening the "Charts", you can open them in EXCEL. The file name is graph.xls. Be sure to read the User's manual for simple ways to manipulate viewing and printing the charts.

Thanks again for your input. Very much appreciated.

[csmith]

OK, thats fine. I can see them when I open them in Wordpad so at least I can experiment and learn the program.

I have no trouble opening the charts from within the program. They open in excel just fine.

I think this will probably be my last message for the night. We have a hurricane about to come upon us. I am in the Tampa/St.pete area so I need to batten down the hatches, as they say

Thanks for the help and I'll look for your next message when the hurricane passes..

thanks again,
Cliff

[little burt]

when you sign up how long does it take to get a e-mail back with the key number to make the program operational? burt

[csmith]

I think it took less 30 minutes. It wasn't long at all

Downloaded the evaluation version and played a little Woodbine today. I don't claim to be an expert in using this program , but it seems from the documentation and tutorial, the most important factors are:

OL - Odds Line
RT - Recent best time
RES - Recent early speed
RF - Recent Friction
Form - Form

The program did quite well with the card I tested today at WO.

The low friction horse won 2 of the 3 turf routes today.
Horses with high rankings in two or more of the above mentioned categories did very well. In the 5th there was a horse who was tops in 4 of the above categories and he paid $7.10.

I will test a few more cards this week and report my findings.

Mr. Boxer,

I just toured your website and noted that Phillips did a short 17 day study with vey positive results. Have you or anyone else completed a more recent extensive study? and if so were the results still in the black? What I'm interested in is the long term results for your program. What's the expected win % for your top 4 picks and average mutuel. Any data on expected exactas top3 or trifecta's top4 would be appreciated.

Thanks,

TRM

TRM, I'm sorry that I don't have the data you are asking about. Over the years, as I have expanded my research and upgraded the program through its various upgrades, I have relied on independent testimonials as the basis for establishing the credibility of the program. Those testimonials can be found on the Web site at the testimonial link. While many of them are from the early CompuTrak days, others are quite recent.

I truly wish I had the statistics you desire. Of course, since the Evaluation Version, i.e. the demo, is free, full featured and straight-forward to use, you can easily try the system and make your own personal assesswment of it.

Let me know if you have any other questions about CompuTrak; I hope I might be better able to answer them.

Mr. B., last week the DOS based program was $249.00. This week the super-enhanced Windows.... program is essentially $89.00 -- a fairly significant difference.

What is your intent for those customers who purchased the DOS package? It doesn't seem that simply 'replacing your present version with the new' quite covers the $$ gap.

GGS,
Your observation is correct that we have substantially reduced our price. But as you can see from my message that started this thread, we are contacting those who purchased at the higher price. Any of our customers who purchased previous versions of CompuTrak within the past six months, not only are receiving back the difference in price, but also are receiving our newly released version of CompuTrak free of charge.

[GGS]

Excellent; your initial message did not mention a rebate.

acorn,

We are streamlining the registration process further so we felt a delay of a few days would be worthwhile.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Full-Featured Evaluation Version will still be free.

no problem
looking forward to doing some statistical tests with the program to see it's viability

I answered this earlier. You must have missed it. Anyone who purchased the earlier version for the higher price, within the past 6 months, (and that time period covers them all, I believe), will receive a refund of the pirce difference and get the new one at no extra charge.

acorn,

That's usually the case when, according to the underlying CompuTrak analysis, the horses are more evenly matched.

In other words, when that happens, that is probably the actual reality of the race.

As you examine more races you will see many where the odds spread is larger.
