Don't often see a 20-1 shot on top in the Best-Five Consensus.

Good day at GPX

[NorCalGreg]

Yes...my GPX spot plays scored for another profitable day.

I've always said people make handicapping way too difficult--it's not. Maybe the psychological "advantage" some get from spending thousands of dollars on software, and other tools for selecting winners, is beneficial. I don't know. My $50 programs attempt (and succeed) in making handicapping as easy as possible--and can hold their own vs whatever's out there. The early pick-4@ TUP (the contenders are posted above) also scored for over $400.

How easy is selecting winners? These are the top-2 "DEMON SPEED" speed ratings for Aqueduct today. In case of ties, always take the higher ML.

Greg:

Was just running around at the house today and followed along with the Big Purple at TUP (the Best 5 you posted for 12-30). How about that for literally no capping. I didn't play, but, the Best 5 had the winner in 7 of the 8 races. Hit the Exacta in the first 5 races. In the only race that it didn't have the winner which was race #6 the #8 horse ran a Big race and managed to get by the #3 late. Best 5's selections in that race came in 2nd, 3rd and 4th!!

The early PIC 4 paid $416.90 for 50c. There were also a couple of nice Tri's in the mix as well in the first string of races. Heck, if you would have simply blindly played three horse exacta boxes for each of the eight races for $48 bucks you would have still made a nice $50 dollars in return ($49.70 profit). Not too shabby by any stretch of the imagination. The "Big Purple" does it again!!

Yes....I know my site is down--dreaded cpanel issues. If you need anything, just give me a call-thanks

[NorCalGreg]

Customers are thankfully, again able to access my site.
I never, or rarely play Laurel...10 or 15 scratches a day, in addition to skimpy exotic payoffs. Here's today's Best-Five Consensus. In 4 races all 3 contenders ran 1-2-3 (but tiny tri payoffs)

[NorCalGreg]

I can't let this go without at least cold-punching that pick-3 (It could happen )

Speaking of the trainer spot play, I have played every trainer spot play at Oaklawn since the meet started Dec 3. So far I have:


69 Bets -$138.88

8 wins for $148.00


average winner paid $18.50


was a lot better before last weekend, maybe because of an off track, where I went 0 for 20

[NorCalGreg]

I'm telling you, Mike...Oaklawn is where good handicapping goes to die

I revamped my pick-4 strategy: $8 tickets 2x2x2x2-on races showing 1 or 2 contenders @ a price.

First day- my strategy hit 3 of 4, with 2 paying over $200. Since then, I've gone 2 for 19...and both winners paid less than $50.

Still ahead dollar-wise...but my confidence is slipping a little. One good score will revive my outlook
