A strong play meant that with that program the horse was on top in sim, profile, comp. Now you have to remember that some people use different settings on their program. I do not. Hope this helps you. If you need more assistance PM me.

On another note: Is anyone playing BEL or SA with Race Prophet last few days.

John; please post picks somewhere today if possible. This program is very teasing with its longshot possibilities.

All the best,

CapperLou

Sorry lou, only had time last night to work on Delaware and at noon when I got the scratches one race was down to 4 horses and another race had only three horses . there were scratches all over the Delaware card .so I trashed it. I am glad I did.

I wonder if anyone knows a better way to get scratches beside waiting for them on Equibase. I called Del at 11:00 and got a tape that said, scratches would be given off the program at the track. That sucks for me.Because I go out to the track every day and miss the first race all the time.

Hey John!!!

I have the same problem with getting scratches--if anyone knows how to get them earlier--let us know.

Just finished up today with the 10thHAW winner Scottago at 12.20. Do not know if Race Prophet had him. Was so late in getting going today I did not do Race Prophet--and I have no idea how long my demo lasts.

Let us know if the program did well wherever you played today besides Suffolk. Thanks for bringing me up to date!!!

All the best,

CapperLou

P.S. Heading to the dinner table right now!!!!!

The Equisim website is at www.thorotech.com and they do have a demo available.

Race Prophet has a demo also---there are not many good software sites that have a demo or trial period available.

Hope this helps you!!

All the best,

CapperLou

according to my statisical testing top selections don't win or l ose more than their fair share.
statistical test done was based on the formula in quirin' book "winning at the races"

Race Prophet!!!

You guys amaze me in the stupid department. Over & Over.
The course ALL you should take is "TESTS & MEASUREMENTS."
Read these words. There is nothing about T-bred prediction
that doesn't or isn't or can't fall under that course. Why the IV
method sucs? Why regression sucs? What is the POPULATION
of horses (races! tracks!) that's covered under your design?
etc etc ... and you don't have to be a genius in math or science
to use these ideas. The time to START is BEFORE you analyse
data. Ditto when you TEST a system. There are old rules that
still matter because they WORK. And lastly, I wish PA would
put 1 rule into practice: NO ADVERTISING ANY SYSTEM unless the
author shows a "30-CONSECUTIVE-DAY WORKOUT" at 1 track!!
Now, the real method would probly be randomized selection,
but that's science, and there are too many cheats. so, STOP
telling us how "really, really good a system is" and SHOW US.
Let us decide if your method is any good --- even if it comes close
to picking winners --- just let the buyer decide after your workout.
*** now I'm off to work because Wall St hates Columbus Day ...
something don't understand.

Not fair, Colt Cannon said, Here is the full blown program for seven days ,You test it at what ever track you play. If you like it fine.

The last two weeks at Mommouth I won every day.I am using the same software at the tracks running today and can not find a winner. Go figure.

Race Prophet, shows me a lot of defferent ways to look at the outcome of a race.

Today at Suffolk , Race Prophet plays that I like are:

1 race #3

2 race #6

8 race #3

9 race #8

Flat bet and DD if there is value.

John

i've noticed most of the good winners are Redboarded (thats after they've ran) why can't some picks from these programs be posted in the Selection Section, oh maybe they don't want the odds knocked down haha. I know the programs hits some good ones But how many did you lose before you hit a winner and if the programs are so great why is everyone looking for another Winning program...I like the way most programers are out to Make money with the Upgrades once they put out a System. If you buy it and they improve it ,why the cost, oh Money for them not from betting the horses.

What bothered me most about this and other software is the never ending factors you can manually change to pick a winner.You buy a program to reduce this madness,not increase it. As you saw Colt adjusted my criteria at LD to get the winners he showed(redboarded). This program has at least 10 different criteria you can change and get about 10 different selections in the same race! Of course the reply would be that you have to become skillful in picking your criteria.That's double talk.When I applied the criteria that worked well for Colt at LD,it didn't work so well later.You'd go crazy trying to turn this into a science. As a consumer,I am looking for simplicity in software. Not a cybercapper that makes my handicapping more complicated and confusing.My same feeling for Computrak,Equisim,Master Magician ,etc. I just want a straight answer like when you ask a handicapper,who do you like? He doesn't pull out his list of 18 categories and give you a half hour lecture of who is good in the 18 various categories,which at the end would leave you more in doubt than when you started.
