Introducing HandicappingOS, "The Complete Handicapping Office". With HandicappingOS (HOS) you have everything integrated in one program, all you should have to do is have your web-browser open and your TV on to wager. HOS is web-based so you don't have to buy or install any software, and you don't have to download any race files. HOS keeps track of everything for you including your wagers, trip notes, race comments, picks and handicapping models.

Here is a sample of some features that are built-in.

1. Track Profile - HOS automatically tracks what handicapping indicators work based upon tracks/surfaces/distances for wins and mutuels at the venues you play. There is a built-in modeler that allows you to make queries against a database make your handicapping decisions easier. The models that you create also feed an odds value line to help you make wagering decisions.
2. ROI Tracker - Track all of your WPS bets easily through HOS. Charts are auto imported, and when they come in your ROI is adjusted based on the races outcome. It’s simple to run reports on how profitable you are at a specific track/distance/surface etc.
3. Charts - Your subscription entitles you to access to the charts for every race going back to 1/1/05. Charts have an easy access feature and are one click away from you at all times. Charts from every North American Thoroughbred race are imported automatically.
4. Web-based portability - When you use HOS there is no software to install. Updates and new features are added automatically. HOS is so easy to use, and you can get access from anywhere you have an internet connection. When you don't, its simple to generate comprehensive printouts that you can bring to your wagering site.
5. Data – Our data is the amongst the highest quality available. HOS has partnered with Handicappers Data Warehouse to supply Jim Cramer’s powerful pace and speed ratings. They are featured in nearly every aspect of HOS's handicapping power.
6. Live Tote - As you make handicapping decisions, you have access to a live tote board for most North American tracks. Through the easy to use HOS interface you can review the morning line and the current line displayed on the tote to make your wagering decisions easier.
7. Weather - Live weather and track conditions are also integrated directly into HOS. You don't have to go flipping though different websites to get the information you need to support your wagering activities.
8. Track you trip notes for a horse, and a race - When you enter race or trip notes, they are conveniently printed on the past performance page for your review. If you are a trip handicapper, this is a feature that you will crave. HOS will manage the notes that you create, and give you access to the charts and speed figures that correlate to the notes, all in one interface. Feel free to use this feature like a virtual stable. You can be notified when a horse you identified through trip notes is entered to race anywhere in North America.

If the players don't support an AWD that gives players rebates at every level, we will never again see competition for price.

This combination gives the player everything that they ask for on this board. Rebates and free data. What you have to decide is if its worth it for you to move some of your play to PTC to take advantage of better pricing and free software and data.

We've got many players doing that right now.

As Rich and others on the board have pointed out, this is really our last shot as horseplayers. Trust me, I could relay statements that have been made to us about the players that would make your blood boil. To them we're not important, it's the track operators, breeders, owners, trainers, etc. that make the game go. The industry (i.e. read the bigger tracks) is watching to see how much support we get, whether or not players care about pricing, features and service. Most track execs think that as a group we don't, that we "NEED to bet horses and that we'll all wager through the pools no matter what the takeout." Obviously we tell them otherwise, but many of them are still waiting to see if a Player run ADW is a passing fad.

I don't play enough to take advantage of the offer, and it would be nice to have more playable tracks at PTC (as well as a no-charge instant deposit feature like Brisbet has with EZMoney), but it does seem that someone is actually doing something for the player. It's actually quite refreshing to see that. :ThmbUp:

Ian and Rich,

Absolutely fantastic what you guys are doing for the horseplayer!! :jump: I wish both of you tremendous success in your business venture(s).

Hi Joe,

I easily wager that much on CNL alone. I just wish it was open longer.

Minimum deposits of $200! Setting minimum wagering limits! Where are you guys located--the Hamptons? Beverly Hills? The "litte guy--$2 bettor--" will make or break you. Don't leave us out.

We hope to be able to accomodate everyone in the future. Unfortunately, the economic reality of this business is we are not set-up to handle tens of thousands of those accounts. It has nothing to do with any "class" bias, it's just where we are in our business model right now. We would need to make a substantial 7 figure investment in hardware, software, bandwidth, people etc. that we just aren't prepared to make at this time.

If you PM me we can talk offline and see what can be worked out on a case by case basis. Anyone that has taken the time to do that can tell you I have been as inclusive and accomodating of everyone's needs as I can.

I'm not a big bettor, but so far this month I've bet $2307 at this fairly paltry lineup and will probably finish the month at $3000 or more. So far, my $2307 has yielded a not so paltry $179.45 rebate.

Good luck with that.

[Greyfox]

$3000 a month is only $ 100 a day through the tellers.
That doesn't mean that you're paying $ 3000 a month.
You don't even have to go to the track with $ 50 a day to meet that target.
Most horse players are moving money back and forth across those windows lmore than they realize.

Yeah, you are right, guess I am still a bit pissed off with American Tab for not being able to wager at my favorite tracks anymore online, I'll get over it someday.

[PaceAdvantage]

Rich, after reading your description of your product, I must say I am taken aback, and did not realize "it did all of that" despite the fact that you have been advertising with me for quite some time! My bad!

Your list of features is indeed rich (no pun) and the fact that I don't have to install any software or download any data is quite compelling.

[richrosa]

Thanks PA,

I appreciate the kind comments. I've worked hard to create an advanced, comprehensive program for just about any kind of player. If it has any downfall, its that it has too many tools and some users feel intimidated. To combat that I spend a lot of time on the phone, and I do webinars with the users to get them up to speed. I'm scheduling a new user webinar next week time TBA.

You can always try a demo at http://demo.handicappingos.com

Recently I put up the entire 2006 Satatoga meet so that users could get the feel of the program doing the best meet in racing.

RR,
Sounds like a great opportunity, especially for those of us who have never used handicapping software before.

I'm wondering what kind of committment is involved in terms of the number of total and/or consecutive months one needs to a) use the software and the data, and b) meet the $3000 minimum?

Also when would one receive the software in order to be able to use it with the data and is there an up-front charge that is rebated once one meets the monthly minimum? Is the qualifying monthly period for YOUR software also fixed on calendar boundaries or is it any 30 consecutive days?

Obviously, I'm not a player likely to generate that kind of activity 12 months a year. And being new to the concept, I'd have to spend time with the system before basing that level of play on it. Your offering 2006 SAR data is a good idea, but my best opportunity to evaluate the tool would be the 4 months in 2007 from the middle of July through the middle of November (from DMR/SAR through the BC and CD while still using the DRF print edition as I normally do.

Since PTC can't take CA residents yet -- and doesn't yet offer all the tracks I expect to play during this period -- the point is moot, so I won't be insulted if you don't want to respond; especially while I think out loud. ;)

What is the non-promotional price for the data? It appears I'm looking at $129 + (4+ X 99+) in addition to the ($5.50 x ((5 x 7) + (2 x 9)) for the DRF in non-wagering overhead to conduct this comparison w/o PTC enrollment. At least this example demonstrates one benefit of your promotion for those able to take advantage of it.:jump:

RR,
Sounds like a great opportunity, especially for those of us who have never used handicapping software before.

PTC and HOS are trying to make it as easy as we can to try both of us. If you want to play with a rebate and have more money available in your bankroll and play with software that will cost you NOTHING, this is a great deal.

I'm wondering what kind of committment is involved in terms of the number of total and/or consecutive months one needs to a) use the software and the data, and b) meet the $3000 minimum?

The process is simple. You will have to supply HDW with a credit card to get started. They will bill you for $99, and every calendar month thereafter that you use HOS. If you wager over $3,000 a month at PTC, and they have you listed as being part of the HOS promotion, they will refund the $99 in your account for the price of the software. So to get very technical, its not exactly free. Your money may be in use for the time between the credit card charge and the refund from PTC.


Also when would one receive the software in order to be able to use it with the data and is there an up-front charge that is rebated once one meets the monthly minimum? Is the qualifying monthly period for YOUR software also fixed on calendar boundaries or is it any 30 consecutive days?

Since its web-based software, you'll get access to the website immediately once you subscribe. It is based on a calendar month. Its June 25th already, and if you got started today, I'm sure we can arrange to spot you a few days to get up to speed.

Obviously, I'm not a player likely to generate that kind of activity 12 months a year. And being new to the concept, I'd have to spend time with the system before basing that level of play on it. Your offering 2006 SAR data is a good idea, but my best opportunity to evaluate the tool would be the 4 months in 2007 from the middle of July through the middle of November (from DMR/SAR through the BC and CD while still using the DRF print edition as I normally do.

The deal is better than that. In the demo we have SAR, HOU, and CRC meets from last year. In the full product, we have at least one year of every meet, with full races going back to April 2006, and full charts going back to Jan. 2005. You can retrocap all of last years meets, then use that data to help you with this years meet.

Since PTC can't take CA residents yet -- and doesn't yet offer all the tracks I expect to play during this period -- the point is moot, so I won't be insulted if you don't want to respond; especially while I think out loud. ;)

Ian is working hard at adding as many tracks as he can. I know he's real close to adding a bunch. I for one, unless I'm on track, have completely stopped playing tracks that I'm not getting rebated on.


What is the non-promotional price for the data? It appears I'm looking at $129 + (4+ X 99+) in addition to the ($5.50 x ((5 x 7) + (2 x 9)) for the DRF in non-wagering overhead to conduct this comparison w/o PTC enrollment. At least this example demonstrates one benefit of your promotion for those able to take advantage of it.:jump:

I've guaranteed that the price of HOS will be $99 for the balance of 2007. Whether it goes back to $129 is uncertain at this time. Its hard to compare HOS to anything DRF gives you since I strongly feel the HDW provided data is more complete and accurate, as mentioned in many threads here before.

There is NO upfront cost for HOS software, and you can stop HOS anytime with no cost. So long as you wager $3,000 a month with PTC, this deal is riskless to the player.
