I'm not trying to be argumentative but I don't think we're connecting here. Typical message board dysfunction.
"The problem is I have a full time JOB and currently am living on my own, so I don't have a lot of free time during the week. I tend to be a weekend warrior when it comes to racing, since this is really the only time I have available to do it. I'm not sure how your software works these days, but I know I did a LOT of testing and trial and error using Pickmaster and some of the other tools in the software. I just don't have the time to do this. The data downloads are $129.00 per month which is a lot to overcome before I have even made a WAGER."
A weekend warrior is 8 days a month. And to be honest if someone plays 8 days a month he's not an occasional player. We're not pros, we do have a job and a family and we do devote significant time to the sport. When I read Bill's comment it struck a cord. We seem to have parallel handicapping lives. I subscribed to HTR for 3 years and downloaded every day and capped most. Maybe I got burned out, but I've also taken on some work that is taking it's toll on me. So for now I'm an occasional player but that might change.
I fully understand the economics of the pricing. It's just too bad for guys like me and Bill that we can't get the best data without paying more than is practical.
