$75 isnt bad....

The enhancements are for everyone. The engine is a Monte Carlo algorithm applied to overall speed and fractional speed where applicable. Exponential smoothing is further applied with a higher weight given to the most recent figures. The process is fully automated with single data files as the data source. Still working on a possible live odds module for the future.

Well, if I may say so we hit the Belmont Stakes Trifecta box and had the top 3 finish order straight in the SPD category.

Excel VBA is cool

I have been working on a handicapping Excel file as well. I sometimes enjoy working on that more than betting horses (did I just say that out loud). My approach isn't so much to come up with a magical formula for finding winners. I try to present the information in 'views' that look at part of the whole picture one 'view' at a time. EG One view looks at situational stats that Bris provides. One view looks at Bris pedigree scores. Another view looks at the PP lines. And another looks at Form over time. I'd like to develop a view that looks at the pace picture as well. The handicapper can then use the 'views' that he/ she wants to come up with their own selection. The only 'Magic Number' are the Bris numbers that you get with the $1 data.

I would love to compare notes if you are interested.

Ed Bain's 4+30

Krudler, I'd love to see that workbook, especially the Ed Bain sheet.

Your excel program

Hi, my name is Chuck and I have been recently experimenting with Google Sheets, to create my own type of system. My question, is I have no idea on what I am doing in terms of math and programming. My first question is. Can Brisnet files or drf files be scanned into Google Sheets or Excel and be programmed to pull out variables or say handicapping factors that the user extracts when he makes a decision in his process. Any help would be greatly helpful. And in the easiest terms possible.

Sincerely,


Chuck

You need to get the comma delimited files, and then you can import them into Excel. BRIS has a list of all the fields in their files on their website.

http://www.brisnet.com/cgi-bin/stati...age=structures

Trackmaster also has comma files you can use.
TFUS too, but I am not familiar with them.

Yes, you can import data files into Excel and Google Sheets.

You can also write macros for both. However, to the best of my knowledge you can't export an Excel file to Google Sheets and expect your Excel VBA macros to function, at least not without some work.
