These are my results and ROI for the past 206 races
I will be posting more results in the near future but
this will have to do for now. These are very typical results
for my selections. This takes into account ALL the selections
I have posted on my site.These are NOT cherry picked results
Of course I do not recommend playing all the selections, but I
just wanted to show you that I can show a positive ROI.I know
I will hear that it is not a very big example but it is
what I have for now. What I found when going back to look at my
results is that if my top selection doesn't win it will place
a very high percentage of the time.
If my top pick was scratced I eliminated the race. I did not go to
the second choice on the list

Anytime you can show a positive ROI over a decent number of races over a bunch of different tracks, it's a good thing....thanks for the numbers....

What the hell does it matter if I sell my picks.. I also bet my selections, so I make money both ways. Anytime you want to challenge me I'm ready..All tracks running everyday for 1 week, 1 horse per race..You ready ??

No thanks. I focus on one, maybe two tracks on days that I play. Your little challenge would prove nothing. Much like your one day tally proved nothing. Look if you can convince people to buy your "picks" more power to ya. I'm not impressed and frankly, it doesn't seem like anyone else is either.

I thought you would have an excuse..My challenge would prove that I could beat you !! I'm am not asking you to be impressed. I am just doing what everybody said I was afraid to do..A "tout" showing his ROI on his top picks..Wow thats unheard of..Why don't you post your ROI ?? Why don't you just crawl back into the woodwork. You don't impress me either.

Seriously, what would a ONE day run through of every track running prove? If I only focus on one or two tracks a day, how could I come out on top handicapping tracks I've never played before. It's silly. See here's the thing, I'm not selling anything, I don't need to. If you are as good as you say, posting your ROI should be no big deal. Again, I have nothing to prove, I'm not selling.....you are.

I never said my selections win everyday. PA challenged me to show my ROI for my top picks. I am doing just that.. If you look at my post of the results ( Above post ) you will see some days are bad.. Isn't that what horse racing is all about..What I am saying I showed a positive ROI for all of my picks using all tracks. What more do you guys want !!

Your the one that butted in here just like you did with Whobet the other day. Whobet challenged you to post on another site, but you used the excuse you didn't want to go to another site. You said you would challenge him here. So why won't you take my challenge here ?? I'm very sure Whobet would do a job on you also.. Look, you know and I know you can't beat me so why don't you move on and make room for the next guy.

Okay Cliff, you got me, I'm in awe of your talents. Here's a challenge for you Cliff. After tomorrow I'm probably done betting until the new year. When Gulfstream starts, we'll have a challenge. Aqueduct and Gulfstream for a month. You pick one horse a race. Most winners wins, person that loses leaves the board. You got any guts?

The name of the game is ROI, not how many winners you can pick..I will certainly take the challenge happily if it is for the higest ROI not winners..

Fine then, you're in also. But remember, if I beat you guys, you have to leave the board. Opening day of Gulfstream we'll start it up. Better practice summarizing other's hard work.

Leave the board,

Not me,

I will put a comercial for you in my FAQ,

saying how you defeated Whobet in a contest on PACE,
and showing the score.

I am trying to get 1000 views for my picks,
I wonder what your goal is.

I will even let you call me loser if you win.

But all of this is good for horse racing,
I am not leaving till I am banned,
and I have been banned on many sites, lol.

I thought so. Like I said, you should probably leave the grown up threads alone. Unlike you and your partners, I'm not selling anything. So I need no commercial. And trust me, many many are calling you a loser right now. I'm sure of it. I have no goals, other than to make you and your crew look stupid. So far....so good.

One more thing, change your avatar to a picture of a chicken, not an ostrich. Definitely fits more appropriately.

Have you done any long term comparisons to see whether your methods of selection do better at certain tracks?

In this extremely LIMITED list of races, for example, bets at CTX have done especially well.

Hi Burls
I have no long term results at this time as explained in some previous post as to why. I plan in keeping the results more up to date in the future, but I can tell you they won't change much from what I have already posted. This results are very typical for my selections.

Hi JDL
We also have hit many exactas lately but that was not what I was asked to provide. A list of a recent exactas can be seen at my site. I only list the exactas we had that paid more than $50.00 We have many others but they don't meet the $50.00 threshold.
Good Luck to you on your GP project coming up

I will hear that it is not a very big example but it is
what I have for now. What I found when going back to look at my
results is that if my top selection doesn't win it will place
a very high percentage of the time.


Hello csmith,

Your results look to be in line with most capable public selectors. As
sample sizes become greater than a few hundred races, I consder WIN
ROI's that lose less than the track take, a fine job of handicapping.

I am gettng similar results with our top selection. ROI is often as good
or better on the place call as the win. Have you done any work on when
to pull the WIN trigger and when to bet place?

For example, if my top selection is dropping more than one class level,
he's a better place bet than win. Have you found a partcular odds point or
factor that helps you make ths decision?

Hi cmoore

I really don't have the time or inclination to take challenges every day. If you go to Whobet's thread everyday he has my top choice among his selections. I am headed for Phoenix on Wednesday and won't be back in Florida until the 6th of January. Although I will have my laptop with me I choose to spend the time in Phoenix with my Daughter and Grandson. maybe when I get back we can figure something out.
Thanks for the interest

Hi Murph
I agree with what you say. I gave an explanation in an earlier post as to why I am not up to date on my records... Yes I do have some things that trigger my plays. I can usually find about 3 races per track each day where I consider a bet. Some tracks I can't find a a bet that meets my criteria. I look for overlays all the time. I am familiar with your work and you do a very good job.
