Handifast Update.
 

Don't you hate it when you write a long post and then do not submit it !

Anyway, I have updated my side of the program somewhat and handi is working on some of his and he has pointed out some bugs in my code I have corrected for the better.

I decided to make some more changes I wanted to get to.

I took out the repeat information from the summary in the bottom row of the full pp's

I corrected the Form points and made them tighter so they would total into the FAST fig better, I also set the speed figures from par so they would line up better in the total making it all tighter and more accurate.

I added a quick link to the notepad so when handis tool is open notes can be made.

I made my S1,S2 and S3 figures BOLD if All weather, Italics if on turf and non formatted if dirt (since I do not print in color)

The difficult Scratch process has been left removed since a pen or a print to PDF works just as well.

I changed my H/L/ and M configuration of the Quirin Early Speed points back to the traditional way.

I also want to make everyone aware of the FAST figure's flaws.

It does not take SURFACE into account (since it can change), and it DOES take Distance.

So if the horse has a ZERO in distance, look at Surface/Class/Form/Etc and adjust it (it will be artificially LOW)

Always adjust all of them for Surface.

I use the TOP 4 after that then take a long look at the Full PP's, using HANDI's convenient sorting to make sure I have not missed anything.

The new version is here..

If you have any race data in "C:/horse/data" move it if you want it kept.
before installing, install directly to C: as it is set to do (do not change the path) and it will creat what it needs to make both parts work.

If you use the email function you will need to re-enter your smtp info.

I did not update the Legend or Help file with this information yet.

Also I know handi is working out some bugs on his end and I doubt they will ever MATCH exactly, this code is OPEN SOURCE for anyone who wants it so they can program as they see fit advancing it...I think his and mine provide two opinions to the same puzzle and I welcome that myself.

I will update the package with his portion when he gets it done and sent to me.

Enjoy =)

and ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU ALL! for the feedback.

Hope to have ver 8.5.1 out to Doug tonight. I added a scrollbar to the summary page. Matched Doug's changes up to my section along with corrected a couple of things he had that needed changing.

Also summary has the form and PCR numbers the same now as Doug does.

Handi :)

You can not play two races at a time with my summary.

Only set to run one track at a time


Handi

can you answer my question
 

you could not of had the winner the file dont work. iam using your 8.5

i only loaded del
 

calls me a dumbass ive been called worse.

How
 

about posting that race and tell us how u decided on that winner Handi.

Ok I ran the race using tsn file. The summary comes up.

The top 4 horses based on point accumulation are as follows

horse ml fair odds
5 3.5 1.8
6 10 1.9
2 6 3.6
1 1.5 6

Race is 8.5 furlongs with 3 E and 1 EP horse and 1 P and 1 S... Sort Late Pace top 3 horses 5-2-6 the 6 is a E horse That leaves the 5-2 the 1 is an E horse also.

So races sets up with 3 early horses running like hell the EP trying to keep up. The P which is the 2 ... sets off the pace and when E's are tired then the P is sitting pretty. so I have the 5-2 the S and the P horses.

Any more questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Handi

yes please
 

i need you to put in my del bris file to tell me why it dont work. ill send you the file. where ty fight

Delaware works fine for me..I am using the TSN files

Money Management
 

There are a lot of money management betting systems, including 'Base Bet + Square root', which I like. It, like the others, was designed for betting 1 horse to win. I like to bet 2 horses, not flat betting but dutching them.

So I wrote a program based on 'Base Bet + Square Root' for money managing Dutching 2 horses. If anyone would like a copy of the program e-mail me at punteray@yahoo.com.

Fight,

I tried using your drf del file and she no work. So I went and downloaded del straight from bris and it didn't work and neither did the download from yesterday I just tried. I will make a call and see what's going on. Maybe datafile corruption.

Side note.

I am sick to my stomach I was playing finger lakes today and del and suff and anyway here's what my picks looked like last race at finger

r9. 8-3 (11) I only bet the 3 because I just couldn't believe I'd hit another big longshot....so as a scardy cat and not wanting to waste $2 bucks I just bet the 3. :bang:

I'll try and get an answer on the drf files.

Handi :(
