The best, by far, handicapper I have ever met is, and has been for over 30 years, my handicapping/wagering partner. He still uses pencil and paper and a calculator. He can look at a race for 5 minutes, zero in on one or 2 horses, make a few calculations and tell you who the winner is and whether or not it should be bet.
He has a computer, I talked him into buying one (took 5 years to convince him that he needed one), but all he uses it for is to download the PDFs from Brisnet.com and to wager through BetPad.com.
I am the numbers guy in the partnership, because we play only superfectas (it is my job to determine the runners for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th and set the ticket), he is the analytical one whose brain is horse racing smart with a phenomenal memory and the ability to analyze races, without being able to explain how he is doing it. There is no way a computer program could be written that would do what his brain does. He is, simply, amazing!
BTW, he was the one who, in the late 70's, told me "If you figure out how to make money betting on win tickets, don't tell anyone or you won't make money anymore".
