i was given these plays to watch and i am not a tout, but he just hit the exacta in the first at tampa with a 6 horse box that paid $700, the trifecta also paid $3200. he also had 2 others in the last week that were humongous payoffs.

i was told they tweaked the system and the plays have been alot better than before. of course i have not been playing any of his favorite buster's, but they have been real good.

they have been very consistant the last 2 weeks with well meant horses. maybe i will report back in about another 2 weeks with further results. but as of today they are el-fuego

i can't play that many horses either. i could never fathom any living human winning at this game betting 6 horse boxes parimutually. i am going to watch these things for another 2 weeks and give you a better assesment of it. the key to these plays are that they eliminate the favorite, so if the fav runs first or second you have just rolled a 7. that would be a more important stat to see if they can keep the fav out of the top 2 at a good enough rate.

Lambo & Mike: Since Lambo opened this thread, I don't think it would be redboarding for me (and he has the sheet) to make a clarification: We didn't give out a 6 horse box, and I NEVER encourage those types of exacta wagers either. Here is how we ACTUALLY gave it out:

by all means these are good plays. i have been following the spot plays and have shown a consistant profit by picking and choosing the ones i play. the good part i like about it is that it is a legitamate list that produces contenders. often times those picks are better than the horses that i would have normally played in a race. what i can say right now is that the spot plays are very worthwhile, i will need to pay more attention to the favorite busters to give a better opinion of them. the fact that you are winning with them the last 2 weeks is not enough of a sample for me to endorse playing them, or knock them. it is an entirely different world to me to bet that many different combinations and succeed.

When you can eliminate the favorite from the first 2 spots in a big field you have a gigantic advantage. I have been using Boomer's exacta sheet for about 3 weeks and while you'd think you could hit a five or six horse box (and there aren't always 5 and 6 horse box plays) and still lose money I can tell you that hasn't been the case. Sure it happens every so often but I have found I either kill it, don't hit it all, or hit it for about a breakeven. There have only been two plays in the last 3 days that hit and lost money. Conversely, there have been three exacta plays this week that paid more than $700 (one paid $900) and another one that paid $320. Now those results are no doubt not the norm but I've never seen someone give out so many giant exactas in such a short period of time. Boomer's right in pointing out that 2 of those 3 700+ hits were on 4 horse exacta boxes.

My two cents FWIW. :)

so far 2out of 3 one paid 74, the other 150.........another one to follow in the 8th at delta. so far you would have spent $140 to get back $224. 2 of the races were on tracknet tracks, and those are very poor rebates.

today's boomers just brought back for $1000 for a .10 super box that cost $36.00. i played the stupid thing, i also hit a few others today that were not quite as good exacta plays. they are still red hot. i am going to give a complete recap later this week for their 2 week record.

If his picks are as good as you indicate, which I have no reason to doubt, why does he publish them? Why not just bet them?

that is a good question. they sell the picks, maybe they think they will hit the law of averages and go cold. they claim their picks are mathematically generated. i can promise you this, if to many people get their hands on the picks no matter how great they are the laws of parimutual betting will certainly apply!

i just showed the results because i promised to look at them and tell the truth. i am like everyone else, i am alway's leary of anyone winning at this game. so far they are proving me wrong.

Looks good to me. Congrats to booman :ThmbUp:

Doesn't matter what the method is (beating favorites, etc.) , the point is that he's WINNING right now, and at very good sums.

I'm not against building bankroll, even if it's just for a week or two.....playing his picks for a week might put one a little ahead on one's bankroll which would allow one to play .........lots of good tickets for the KY Derby. ;)

what he do today ? :faint:he hit 1 race out of 5. the race he won he broke even. but he screwed up a race at sunland park where he had an alternate horse if there was a scratch. no scratches and the alternate ran 2nd to complete a $600 exacta that they didn't have. i think their spot plays showed a small profit so far with 2 left.

Thanks Winter for the kind words, and although Lambo has been fairly accurate in his reporting of how the sheet's have been doing, he's off the mark on breaking even today, as the last race at Sunland was one of the plays:

While my endorsement isn't worth much probably, I must say that I flew down to Las Vegas sometime ago to meet with Boomer.

We had dinner and discussed Horse racing. What we talked about isn't important, but I can tell you that I found him to be honest and a real gentleman. He knows Horse Racing!

And it comes as no surprise to me that he releases some major plays. Good Job Boom!

We DID hit the $683 exacta in the 6th @ OP with the $166.00 horse on top, but unfortunately we DIDN'T hit the trifecta because even though we had the #4 horse that finished 3rd on the sheet, it was a Back-up horse only to be used in that spot in the event of a late scratch of one of our other horses........But, I guess the exacta wasn't a bad consolation prize......;)

By the way Handi, thanks for the nice endorsement, it was a pleasure meeting you!

Lambo: You are absolutely right! There will always be good and not so good days, so yesterday at $2.65 R.O.I. on our "favorite busters" sheet including a 7/5 shot in the 6th at Oaklawn that we took a stand against nearly running dead last, was one of those GREAT days. Our biggest concern is to maintain that 115% overall R.O.I. level that we have achieved on both sheets since our 30 day free monitoring introduction to PA members here that took place during the month of December 2009.......;)

Thanks for your ongoing interest!

of course you know the problem we are having is the rebate on racknet trarcks are all only 2%. and alot of the winning plays took place in oaklawn, that is probably your best track for the favorite buster.

i will tell you with normal rebates you will win these plays as stupid as 6 horse boxes look at first glance. i have seen the plays long enough to admit that they are very consistant.

personally i have been using the spot plays as a guide and have done better than your numbers indicate

Oaklawn is true, but Delta and Tampa Bay Downs (non-tracknet tracks) seem to do well also. The common denominator is that each of these tracks offer full fields which is imperative to the success of the "favorite buster" plays.......;)

03-24-2010, 05:08 PM
this sounds to good to be true, but within 5 minutes they hit the 6th at oaklawn ex--$450 $1 tri $1029

the last race @ new york ex--$160 $1 tri $2300

someone asked me why i am posting. the answer is that they are giving me the numbers for free as long as i report the truth of what they are doing. no question they are winning. the $64k question is am i winning with them. the answer is no because i am to stupid to bet them myself because i will alway's be a non-beleiver in anyone elses stuff but my own

they have some kind of a program that is blowing my mind with first time starters. that is really the game that i am in. they wind up with competetive runners consistantly with those.

out of regular plays today so far they had 2 winners, a $10 and a $3.60 for a losing return on those so far.

Remember, I gave 'em to PA members FREE for 30 Days during the month of December, and I'll do it this weekend (Fri-Sun) the same way: Go to my website below and request them via email.

Hi All,

I gave these a try (favorite-busters & spot plays) last week based on the recommendations on this board, and let's just say they didn't work out so well for me. The spot-plays had an .86 roi and I haven't calculated the favorite-busters, but I believe they were probably up after hitting a very large trifecta on Sunday at Aqueduct. I'll write a detailed post about my results with these when I get some more time next week.

The spot plays seem to be mostly lower-priced horses that do hit for a fairly good percentage. It's pretty hard to keep a positive ROI going playing so many short-priced horses. There were numerous winners in the $3.00-$5.00 range during my week, and a few in the teens but nothing higher than that.

The favorite-busters involve huge trifecta and exacta boxes.....upwards of almost the whole field on some occasions minus the favorite. I played these for four days and absolutely got ripped, then gave up on them the last day and they popped a big one of course. Boomer says this is all by design, and they are looking to beat vulnerable favorites which I totally agree with. It was just really hard for me mentally to do this as even though I'm a spread-player, I never ever spread like that deep. I do this for a living, so bankroll is not a problem for me, but the drawdown on these plays would get most players and make the rest of us sweat big-time.

That said, Boomer told me both services are running at the 1.10-1.15 level since inception which is fantastic if true. I have zero doubt that they do hit some big licks on these exotics the way they play. Most of us probably like to take a little more of a stand, so I had to discontinue the service as I just hated to lose any more money on stuff that I didn't come up with on my own, or handicapped the race differently.

Boomer seems like a good guy, and maybe these things are good as gold. I would pay way more than he's asking if they are anywhere in the black over a long period of time. Kind of wished I had just got the service during the trial, or just bought them and watched for a couple of months before losing so much of my own cash. The one thing I would say is that if you are thinking about going this route have a very large bankroll and a lot of patience. The big one will probably be coming but if you play trifectas or supers you might burn through some cash before they hit.

Hi All,

I gave these a try (favorite-busters & spot plays) last week based on the recommendations on this board, and let's just say they didn't work out so well for me. The spot-plays had an .86 roi and I haven't calculated the favorite-busters, but I believe they were probably up after hitting a very large trifecta on Sunday at Aqueduct. I'll write a detailed post about my results with these when I get some more time next week.

The spot plays seem to be mostly lower-priced horses that do hit for a fairly good percentage. It's pretty hard to keep a positive ROI going playing so many short-priced horses. There were numerous winners in the $3.00-$5.00 range during my week, and a few in the teens but nothing higher than that.

The favorite-busters involve huge trifecta and exacta boxes.....upwards of almost the whole field on some occasions minus the favorite. I played these for four days and absolutely got ripped, then gave up on them the last day and they popped a big one of course. Boomer says this is all by design, and they are looking to beat vulnerable favorites which I totally agree with. It was just really hard for me mentally to do this as even though I'm a spread-player, I never ever spread like that deep. I do this for a living, so bankroll is not a problem for me, but the drawdown on these plays would get most players and make the rest of us sweat big-time.

That said, Boomer told me both services are running at the 1.10-1.15 level since inception which is fantastic if true. I have zero doubt that they do hit some big licks on these exotics the way they play. Most of us probably like to take a little more of a stand, so I had to discontinue the service as I just hated to lose any more money on stuff that I didn't come up with on my own, or handicapped the race differently.

Boomer seems like a good guy, and maybe these things are good as gold. I would pay way more than he's asking if they are anywhere in the black over a long period of time. Kind of wished I had just got the service during the trial, or just bought them and watched for a couple of months before losing so much of my own cash. The one thing I would say is that if you are thinking about going this route have a very large bankroll and a lot of patience. The big one will probably be coming but if you play trifectas or supers you might burn through some cash before they hit.

oexplayer:Yes, the favorite busters include big spreads by design. Now anyone can pick a random a bunch of races and tell you to spread but it's our race selection that's the biggest part of why we have done so well with these. Our database shows that only 17% of those we identify as bad favorites will win, only 35% of them will finish 1st or 2nd, and only 49% will run ITM. That compares with 32% /53%/ 67% for all favorites. Half the time we successfully toss the favorites from the top 3 slots.

The value comes from tossing the favorite, not keying on just one or two horses. That strategy doesn't make any sense in short fields or where the favorites are strong (or even average) but in the races we chose, it's the key to cashing monster exactas. By my count we have hit at least eight 300-1+ exactas during the past 2 months as well as a couple of 2000-1 tris and 10000-1+ supers. And we only encourage players to obtain the plays over a long period of time as that is where you'll see the most value. Every PA member that has contacted me has been told that and even witnessed a positive ROI when just looking at them over the free 30 day trial period last December (not to mention long term) as opposed to playing them just a few days........;)

Just thought I'd share.

Sent an e-mail to Booman asking for the tips sheet and ordered a couple of his books. (Looking to expand my knowledge on money management and exotics)

He replied saying the picks where for last weekend, but because I purchased his books, he sent me today's picks.

I didn't get home till late, so the only thing running was Charles Town. I really don't like C/T.

On a whim I Placed a small win bet ($20) on his pick and Wheeled it top and bottom for a $52 investment.

The horse wires the field and pays $24.60, then a 29 to 1 shot slips by the favorite to complete a $333.60 exacta.

A nice $527 profit on his selection and a hunch.

Regards,

Windoor

Haven't read Boomer's books but I'm curious as to if the concepts used for tossing "false favorites" are covered in the books and specifically which book. This is an area I'm always looking to improve in. Thanks.

Isosa: The mechanism for determining "false favorites" isn't specifically covered in great detail in my books, (although it is covered in my "Keys to Success" one-on-one course). However, the "How to" book does '"break down" 12 actual races from the DRF and discusses how to determine if a race presents the necessary value for investing in minute detail. The B.E.T.S. book then covers wagering in detail, while the DVD covers questions asked from the first book...........

Let me know if you have further questions,

Boomer
