[CheckMark]

Hey horseplayers. Glad to be back on here for a question I have. I would like to send money to the company called RPM Handicappers Giant for the paper and pencil method called “Colonel’s Secret” but I am wondering what you guys think of this system and if you have it can you tell me how it has done for you.? Please respond to this as I am trying. Thanks everyone and good luck today

Stay away from RPM. The "Colonel's Secret" will deep fry your bankroll. Visit the real Colonel (KFC) instead and save $40+.

I've purchase many systems from RPM, dating back to the late 80s. I even talked to Dave Powers on the phone around that time. The systems advertised there aren't worth the paper that they are printed on. RPM is in the business of selling dreams to the gullible.

Their best program is Tips . That is a good program .

hold said bill in left hand.

There was a time when I bought every system that sounded promising to me...and it pains me to admit that it took me TOO long to learn my lesson. So, YES...I was once one of the most gullible horseplayers out there.

Selling dreams to the gullible.....sounds a lot like the two party political system, except the parties are only selling them during the campaigns. The rest of the time they're selling revenge.

When I get their mailings, I read carefully and sometimes by looking at the pictures of the software, you can kind of tell the way the figs are calculated. One piece of software they were touting had the "amazing new feature "that used the BRIS power ratings as a revolutionary new way of picking contenders . Wow !

I bought one once from someone - the Two Factor Method.
The very first time I used it, I hit a $50 horse - back when I was making $2.10 an hour part time.

I must have fed the crop of 1975 the rest of that year - never hit another winner.

I did buy the Powerline Method, I think it was called, and it was method where you made a power number for each horse. It actually made sense and I tweaked it a bit to be able to get the winner in the top 4 a good deal of the time. That was in the Golden years when you had fields of 8-9-10 regularly.
There were enough nuggets in there to give me ideas to play around with.

Agree on Tips - Tom Worth stuff was very helpful in my early years.

I remember that system although I never bought it. Was that what Steve Wolfson's (sp?) software was based on? Didn't he once post 500 plays that showed a profit here several years ago?

When I first got into handicapping I, too, was lured by the systems of RPM hitting 37% winners paying $12 or the ones hitting the $30, $40 or $50 bombs. But I honestly bought some good things like Pandy's Pro Simulcast system in stapled form. Also, the Dan Serra pedigree ratings. This was shortly after Mark Cramer wrote about the Tomlinson's but before they were printed in the DRF. Talk about your golden years of handicapping, especially turf races.

I also bought Worth's Place to Win and Show-a-Profit as well. I also got my copy of the Thomas McCormick book that Thask posted about a couple of years ago. Now that I think about it, I spent a lot of money. RPM always had that promotion -- "Spend $100 and get these useless systems for free." Or "Spend $150 and get the Broken Down Horseplayer software for free. That's a $99 value!" I would read through the new catalogs every time they sent it out looking for the next great system.

I'm not sure if they sell anything worthwhile now, but the Colonel Sanders method doesn't sound promising.
