Although I will admit, you have been much better lately, so I have to give you credit there.
And I couldn't care less about Green Gratto (another reminder). It's not like I haven't posted $100+ horses before in graded stakes races (Take Charge Brandi anyone?  ). But the question seems to always come up about my current ROI so I cut it off at the pass now.
But even a casual viewer of this website over the years must admit there have been LOTS of people who would often make the snide comment that you can't win with software or speed figures alone (and ALONE is the key word here). Speed figs can't tell you this or they can't tell you that. A computer can't tell you about this subtly bad trip or that a jockey looked like he purposefully wasn't out there to win, etc. etc.
And no, I wasn't targeting anyone...it's happened often enough over 18 years (another boast - my website's longevity) from many different sources. |
Very good results over 800/400 +/- race selections.
But, I'm just wondering
how much better your ROI or whatever would've been, had you learned how to watch replays and maybe avoided some of those losing selections.
You may have noticed the horseplayers I'm used to are a tough group to please.
Btw, I'm one of those advocates of watching replays but I've also tried to add that there are a number of ways to Win playing the horses. Watching replays can only help your handicapping, IMO.
Again, very good handicapping.
I remember a horse racing Guru, R. Stein used to say something like, "very good, but what have you done for me lately"?
I'm paraphrasing so, maybe SRU can jump in and provide the exact wording?
