Here we can discuss HOW everyone is using the program =) as requested.

I have to stop changing it now or my wife will divorce me since it is the only thing she uses, she loves all the improvements we have all contributed but is tired of seeing something new each time.

So lets consider it done.

As always...

A word about printing, it works great in firefox, (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/produc...=win&lang=en-US) if you print preview and choose "Shrink To Fit"

Thanks again to all of you =)

Doug


P.S.

If it does not work try adding these to your system....

BTW- hint, when you print like I do to the free Bullzip PDF printer from the internet browser, since the report is in HTML
http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php#download

Be sure to go to...

Tools->Internet Options->Advanced, scroll to PRINTING
checkbox, "Print background Images and Colors"

Even if you are printing to a "real" printer.

Also this is a great PDF tool for "Marking Up the PDF"

This was all tested when opened in Internet Explorer 8 set as the default browser on 32 bit Vista.

I have been told it works fine on XP, Vista 64 bit and even Linux through wine.

My Way
 

This is how "I" see the 8th at Belmont 6/17/09
http://localpcpros.com/bel.pdf

What does everyone else come up with?

why
 

hey friend i just drew down new program you sent 8th at bel i look at my sat #s tyey are not the same i use bris 1$ whys that my fast #s are top to bottom 85-92-85-78-84-77-77-80-85 isee its 1point here and there but shouldnt we be the same? if you are using bris1$ ty friend good work its appreciated by all.

8th bel
 

using dartmans theory witch i like and by the way thats not throwing a dart at the sheet lol i get 2-9-3-1tie-8tie.again thanks doug.

Sorry there was a programming error (I mentioned on the last thread that I noticed trying to explain what made up the fast fig) so any of the older ones will come out with different numbers.

more accurate and most likely "tighter" on a scale.

=(

doug
 

just so you understand me.you may have misunderstood what i said i have you new program installed so would i not get the same fast#s as you ??because they are differentthan your bel 8th example . what dont i get?

Douglas

Did you eliminated the days away LR in the summary on purpose ???

thanks

I'm going with the 3. In 84 races @ 6f, at this meet, 42% have gone wire to wire, and the preferred R/S is E. So with that knowledge, and the program numbers, I will go with the 3 to WIN, and the 3 over/under the 1,4,8. :ThmbUp:

Fight
While the 2 does have a 6 point edge in the FaST #'s, He is 7 points behind on the dirt #'s (using TSN files). That's when I have to either dig deeper or pass the race. I could also make a case for Doug's choice. If he is 8-1 or better at PT. Within his last few starts, he has matched or exceeded PAR for final time @ today's distance and class level.The only horse in the race that has done so. He also is 2 of 4 at this track, and 4 of 10 at this distance. Plus, has the best TOTAL pace rating. ALL of this is what makes this game so complicated. :confused:
See my other post for what I will probably play. If the #1 is 8-1 or better @ PT, it could alter my bet.

Good Luck.:)

I used the BRIS single file DRF in the Version 7 of the program for todays 8th.

if you are doing exactly that and getting different numbers then that is very odd?

Sorry yes, for space i can add them back if so desired ?

doug
 

85-92-85-78-84-77-77-80-85 yes i using that filewhy different #s?
86-93-86-78-85-78-77-81-85 are yours strange

douglas

for me the ML would be beneficial.I for one do not like long layoff

horses .Especially if its a Fav.


Thanks

P

Looks like a rounding issue to me. Could be that different CPUs yield slightly different results?? Or maybe the O/S?

Puzzled

================================================== ====

Maybe,I suppose it could round differently.

Fight, did you try downloading it over again to the same place as the older one and executing it, that should overwrite the old one, just top be sure ???

The Morning Line is still in there (far right), the other one was Last Race Odds, thats gone, and the days off...

So ... I can oput the days off back in and still have it fit, I think.

I will try it soon

doug
 

just deleted it redrewit same results

Well this is curious.

What type of Operating system/Computer ? (but I doubt that is it)

Can anyone else chime in with what they have???
Maybe it is my set that is the odd man out.

I ran belmont 17th came out exactly like Dougs

i run win home xp.
pcon

forgot to say I used the bris drf file

sorry

p

go it
 

I downloaded it over again Myself and ran it and the problem seemed to be on my End....

Mine matches Fights now?

Pcon, try downloading it again, see if yours comes out like fights'

This is the oddest thing (of course I have never written a program before) so maybe not so strange to someone who knows VB6, maybe it is just Rounding differently?

I can put the decimal in, in Version 7.1 when I put the Days Since Last Raced BACK into the summary ;)

UPDATE
 

Get the Newest, Newest ... Program here.

http://localpcpros.com/FASTV7.exe

The Days Since Last Raced are back in, and ... a decimal in the FAST fig itself so everyone ends up with the same Number I hope.

SO now me and fight match... Using Bris single File, Win Vista business.

headhawg will you download it over again from the last link and overwrite what you have and run it again.

Your PCR and Form Points are different than the other 2.

redownloading it worked for me, not that I can logically explain why???

Ok. I redownloaded and made sure that I deleted the previous FAST folder. Looks like it matches.

Good we will consider that the "FIX" =)

What do you all come up with for this one.

I get a horse coming off a long, long rest ?

doug can you post a final legend to show how to interpret #s

Fail!

Yes...I'll get something done tomorrow (sat)

Hello Doug: What tool are you using to shade the desired areas using the PDF xchanger. Thank You Chris

Never mind Doug go it. Thank's Chris

Yes I love that tool for PDF's.
I print to PDF, use that to work it up, then print to the printer.

Strange: but this mark up tool has really helped my capping out. Using different colors, for different angles, also race shape. works for me. Chris

Run that by me again,
 

I'm not getting what you are doing by marking up the summary the way you are. In other words I don't understand how you are coming up with your selection.
I have found that the FAST numbers are a great way to narrow down the field. I believe it was Dick Schmidt that suggested half the field plus one for your contenders. If your field is 8 horses your contenders would be half the field = 4 + 1 = 5. The top 5 (or whatever the field + 1 is) FAST numbers are going to have the winner in there quite often if not most of the time. I don't have the exact % of the time though. It cuts down on your handicapping time.
