Not anymore.
When it was new to me it did.
It takes me about 10-20 minutes per race,(depending upon the amount of horses in a race,) to compute my data, then 0-5 minutes to construct my bets, it any. And by now I have memorized most of the numbers on my charts.
I do it by hand because I want to know how my figures are created. I'm sure there are good pace/class/form figures out there, but I don't want to bet MY money unless I know how the figures are done.
Even Beyer figures are readjusted occasionally.
I already have to have faith that the chart caller is accurate, that the morning work out clockers are accurate.
In Pace Makes the Race some of the authors broke down the times to halves or tenths. I don't bother or waste time with that much precision. I won't bet on a horse that is one head better than another like 165.1 versus 164.9.
