I think Always Pro is the best software I own. But I don't use it. Why? I don't play but about once or twice a week when I get time and in order to use All Ways effectively you need to download every day and maintain a database.

The cost of the datafiles...$7 a piece (minimum $100 per month) That's right folks $7 a piece. Let's do some math...10 tracks (so I can cherrypick good races) times 5 days per week = 50 files.

50 files times 4 weeks = 200 files per month

200 files times $7 = $1400 per month. If I bet on Brisnet I get 20% off so that comes to $1400-$280=$1120 per month

That's why I don't use All-Ways. For heaven's sake Brisnet, wake up and develop some pricing similar to HDW!! Then All-Ways will be number 1 in my opinion of high end software handicappers.

There was a long discussion last year about AllWays in the following thread:

I finally decided to write my own report in Lotus, so I'm not using anyone's software now. But I learned a lot from Allways, HTRF, AODDS, and a few others. They all are good programs, but you need to find the one that fits YOUR style.

Have you looked at Ken Massa's HTR and Dave Schwartz's program? If you are a regular player, using someone that utilizes HDW data should be less expensive.

I think I have posted this before. I used the free Always program for years and last July I purchased Always Pro from a private party that had posted it for sale on this board.

Since I only play one track at a time I don't think it is all that expensive for what you get. One has to constantly see what factors are winning at your track that you are playing and adjust accordingly.

For example at the recent concluded Del Mar meet the 3 ALWAYS factors that produced the most wins for me were Class, Late & Combined and Early Pace in that order.

As I have stated before the program usually has the winner out of its first 4 picks (75% to 80%) and since I only play tri's and with 3 horses on top I only have to elminate 1 horse or more from top position and I have my own rules for doing that. Now this works for me.

Playing any programs top pick all the time without some personal handicapping is not a good idea. For me it really shortens the time to pick out the top contenders.

I'm sure that other programs can do as well but I don't want to go to the trouble of learning another program when this one works great for my kind of betting and what does cost mean if one is picking a lot of winners, ITS YOUR BOTTOM LINE.
