Handi's picks for 12-22-06 Charles town

[Handiman]

What you are watching is the evolution of a handicapper using homegrown software. I'm playing Charles town today, and will try and select only 1 horse per race and see how we do. If I can not get just one horse, then I will put up 2. But that's it.

Since I'm such a betting sissy, I will bet $2 to win and $6 to show. The show bet for now helps the need to cash tickets when my win bet is bad.

As you can see, I had some trouble settling on just one horse in several races. Again this is a journey for me. By posting these, it requires me to make a decision and not vassilate between picks when I look at the results.

Okay, let's see how we did. When there were 2 horses, I just bet both to win with no show bets.


Charlestown...

1....missed......8.00 out.....0 back....................-8.00
2...2 horses...4.00 out......9.00 back..............-3.00
3....................8.00 out.....21.60 back............+10.60
4....................8.00 out.....12.00 back............+14.60
5....................8.00 out.....7.20 back..............+13.80
6....................4.00 out.....4.60 Back..............+14.40
7. Horse scratched
8...2horses....4.00 out......missed..................+10.40
9....missed.....8.00 out......0 back...................+2.40
10...2 horses.4.00 out.......8.00 back..............+6.40

I believe that's an 11% ROI. I guess it's okay but not great. ack to the drawing board.
