LOL ..it's not the Bris Summary, Light...those are the top two Power numbers. I don't really care for programs that list a TOP 4 or whatever. I have the top two with total power points (which I didn't bother typing out) for exactas--for the user to make the call....or dutch betting. If the top two are way out ahead of the rest in points--the exacta is an easy call.

The best exacta situation is one mid priced horse/ with one short-price---boxed. At least in my experience.

Many times, the top 3 will run 1-2-3 in some order. Also quite a few times only two entries even get a power number and run 1-2.

In full disclosure--the top two will many times run completely off the board----that's why they take bets on these things!

What's wrong with listing the top 4? I consider horses at 9/1 or less on my odds line as contenders unless a horse at 10/1 is highlighted as a potential overlay.

We have differing ideas of basic handicapping...I look for potential winners, not piece-of-the-pie types. I'm not going to force one in---it's either all or nothing.

Every horse in the race that qualifies, is rated. One doesn't get any considerations just because he's a living breathing thoroughbred who once won a race. Why waste time on horses that don't meet minimum standards for the win? I say toss 'em out. Sure, I get burned--but not as often as you might think.

My program only POINTS OUT the top two, Speedy...but actually may rate every horse in the race---Hi to Lo.

Greg:

Purchased your product. Would like to be able to print screen.

Any ideas???

[kingfin66]

Not Greg, but maybe I can help. An easy way to print the output for this or anythings else is to use the snipping tool in Windows in conjunction with Google Docs. Use the snipping tool to copy the capture into Google Docs, then print the document. It is an extra step, but it is very easy to do.

Hope this helps.

Would you say this is the strongest aspect of your program? Looks like around 25% ROI betting all horses here. The reason I ask is because I have seen the earlier part of this thread where you tapped out on a $1000 bankroll with your "best bets".

25%? Looks like .97 on Belmont alone, $1.02, if you include Del Mar.

The Belmont total is $40 bet and $52.30 returned. The ROI is calculated by profit $12.30 divided by the investment $40 which equals 30%.

Wasn't that using another software or his own picks? The selections now are using Pace-View.

Your figures are correct. I doesn't take long to get rich making 30% on your money.

I'm not aware that he has multiple software so maybe I'm mistaken. What I looked up when I was deciding if I should try his software started on post 128 page 9. He had distinguishing lightning bolts on both sides of the "best bets" sign and stated he was starting with a $1000 bankroll. Post 189 shows the bankroll down to $700. After that there is no balance stated with subsequent losing bets which I had to look up for results. Never won one of those best bets.

On post 227 he started another $500 bankroll "best pace plays". That thread also seemed abandoned as on post 260 he says its not working.

These things turned me off from buying his software.
