- The moves from Jim Lehane's Calibration Handicapping
- Angles from Mark Cramer's Thoroughbred Cycles
- A methodology for finding false favourites from Roger LeBlanc's recent book, "The Punter's Tale"
- The 4+30 approach pioneered by Ed Bain
- Pandy's ESR and Pace Shape Spot Play approach
- Fotias' New Pace Top and related concepts
- a few other bits and pieces
Each one of the above is programmed into one or more sheets in my workbook.
Post-race, I gather information on all of the winners - inspired by Schwartz's product "How to Figure Out What Wins" - in an effort to see which factors actually push winners to the top.
I knew virtually no Excel before I began playing with programming all of the above into my workbook. While my handicapping is still not profitable - yet! - my Excel understanding is showing great strides thanks to YouTube and the Interwebs. |
I agree Kru...YouTube along with MrExcel forum pretty much solved whatever I was looking for....
As for your LIST's.....too much info !!!
I'm sure that you must have numerous horses in each race that those systems give you......Maybe you hope they all land on the same horse....
Forget it......if it did ...bet the house!!
I'm sure you can focus on maybe 2 or 3 and just concentrate on those...
