Assembling a Team

[bigmack]

A fully funded handicapping team. I've been involved before but I was the both the dough and did 90% of the work. I ended up paying for their time to do grunt work.

Looking at perhaps putting together a team again and thought about just paying salaries for what people contribute and based on their performance to the group. They know they'll have regular dough coming in and there is no risk to them.

I'd like to be privy to the overall decisions but someone can run the day to day and make the plays. Each analyst walks with $3-4K/mo.

Each analyst has to show a profit for one month before hiring.

What else?

Perhaps you want tohave 1 person just to screen all tracks' condition books that meet the right criteria for your handicapping team as well as the weather.
In my 3 months' [ublic online handicapping experience I could not choose the major tracks as everyone else was picking from them; I chose mid-sized tracks for the overall racecard to run as expected. I had an overall positive ROI and did best on tracks when fast, did well in the Central time zone. I think NY has the most consistently groomed tracks. Look for weekly track biases. I would also look at tracks and racetypes where the exactas pay the best for the top 2 choices.

A wagering Hedge Fund, BigMack does the picking. He takes 2% of the wagers off the top and 20% of any winning bets. Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately I am broke. :( ;)

Sent PM-no answer. Suspect that indicates I am currently 60-1 morning line. Is that not good handicapping???

That leaves TLG out.

WTF are you talking about? How much do you expect to make that you can shell out $10k to $20K a month just for help? If this is a joke,its not funny. If its not,its insane.

We don't really know if TLG could show a profit for a month based on public selections for every race. I'd say if it were between the two of you for the last spot, he would be 1 to 10.

[Mineshaft]

i can do EVD..

[acorn54]

if someone can show a profit from the horses why do they need you

[PaceAdvantage]

That leaves TLG out.You've got time to post these prickish responses, but no time to take me up on my challenge. Talk about ducking.

The comment was tongue-in-cheek. I'm no Jay Leno,but c'mon.

[bigmack]

:D Light, always a treat in a creepy kinda way.

While not my intent, the thread seemed to jar acoupal'a virtuoso's. Work in project and sorry for not getting back to all.

Nothing further to see here.

[Tom]

Tell that to the tall red guy!

"Too many Chiefs, not enough Indians". That's what eventually ends these type of ventures. No one usually wants to be told their picks will not be used. It could work if the people involved are given specific duties. Example: Player 1 bets only exactas on night tracks. Player2 bets only pick 3's on tracks with rolling bets and decent size fields.

You're probably right, but personally if I was making a profit I'd be willing to be humble and have my picks thrown out. ;) I can't imagine actually trying to form a team online though---would have been much easier in the old days at the track, though not necessarily more successful. Hope it works out.

I thought *I* was your main creep. :( .



Any bidniz must be discussed on a SoCal golf course, see ? (E.G. Robinson voice.)
