The way I scored those Excel spreadsheets I posted was NOT based on top ranked horse but which program had the winner ranked higher than the other. So out of 17 races over the weekend at Aqu, my program had the winner ranked higher than Handi's or HH's 8 times and Handi's or HH's had the winner ranked higher than mine 4 times. There were 5 ties. Whoever had the higher rank got the winning muteul. In case of ties,each side got zero.

The point of this little experiment was not to elevate my ego as some think. It was to show the benefits of using my paceline selection method over the one being used. I have struggled with paceline selction methods for the 9 years I have been dealing with my program. After 7 years I found I had to change a fundemental way of picking pacelines. Today I still struggle with it.Since paceline input affects all output it's not something to take lightly.

The other advantage I was going to mention if I ever got to first base here which I didn't,was that with my method you can database your results and get an idea of what works for what class. For example a race is for OC50Kn2x. What class of race are the horses coming out of that win this condition. Very easy to find out in my method because I use a single paceline. With the method used in the program(s) presented here you'll never be able to tell because it uses as many as 6 pacelines averaged together from different distances and surfaces. I find that a bit insane and non productive for databasing. And have you ever did a test of what paceline method does better than the other? I have and I have never heard of any endorsement for the one used in this program being offered. What evidence is there for its validity?

In the other portion of your message you confused where I got the 20% ROI from my program as a black box. It was not related to anything I have presented here. My program also produces various categories,about 16. One of them is the total "points" a horse earns from these 16 categories. Using the top "point" earner in that category is what produced the 20% ROI. The top "point" horse is not necessarily the top "speed fig" horse. Sometimes,he is surprisingly the last ranked speed horse.

I was willing to share some of the ideas from my program here but this is a very close minded group who considers another point of view negatively. I haven't even scratched the surface of what I've been though with my program.But at this point, I'm done trying to explain anything further to these guys. Hey,they got users showing them how they hit $18k supers and mammouth pick 6's with this free program. This is similar to the BS I heard with TLG. When you do a study of what they are talking about,it's just not true.
