TOTEMASTER

I am looking for another copy of the booklet Totemaster Win Without Handicapping. Its copyrighted 1991 from Gamblers Edge Computing. Someone
told me Warren Henry made this product and he is/was a member of the forum.
Mine is so dog earred , pasted , stapled and glued together but last Sat at the
OTB the entire back fell off. Its purple in color and easy to use.

Timtam,

Not sure if I have this one or not as I've often purchased methods/systems, briefly look em over and put em away for extended periods of time. Is this one any good? What kind of action were/are you getting from Totemaster? I might have to look around if you tell me it's decent.

The way its intended is just morning line drops so you can look for early money

late money etc. It gives a numeric figure to each horse and you can see what

is winning. A few years ago there was a computer real time program which follow

ed real time handicapping and labeled the largest drop D1 and D2 horses that

stayed the same E and early money was U1 and it was all color coded on the

screen. I rented the program for one month and realized the D1's were the same

as the Totemaster largest drop. It worked wonders at Woodbine with the big

fields and the 20 cent supers. I would alway use an E1 or E2 in my tickets

and sometimes the odds were 20 to 1 and they would sneak in many supers.

I did a lot of research cause I would take the 15 minute mark opposed to the

M/L which they suggested and then waited until after 3 min. You used to have

to go fast to make your calculations but lately every track seems to take the

Gulfstream approach where they walk around for 5 minutes before going into

the gate. I used it between races cause it only requires 2 tote board reads

and gave me horses I would never play otherwise. You can see now the book

is well worn and at one time Ebay was selling them like hotcakes. Stupid me

never bought a backup.

I did a search, and it was created by Warren Henry on this forum. He has a contact card with his email on his user page. Maybe you will get lucky.

Thank you I will try to find him. I spoke to him several years ago and even he

didn't have anything left.

tote watching

Maybe on the same subject...
Do this with less than one minute to post but still 15 seconds left to throw the bet together. Only recommended for dimes and quarters.

A 'trick' I learned is to look at the lowest odds horse [favorite]. Next look at the money on him to place. Note that.

Now look down the column at the monies on the horses to place.

Ideal is to find a horse with more to place than the favorite has. Bet that horse to win.

You can also bet the next highest amount to place but it should be at least close to the place amount for the favorite.

As mentioned in an earlier post, you can also put the horse identified above in the one hole in a super, the fave and one other 'contender' (mid range odds if you're not looking at PP's) in the two hole. Putting ONLY the favorite in the two hole is another option, cheaper but less payoff. Any horse with 'reasonable' odds goes in the three hole (depends on number running but generally in the less then 12 to 1 category) then everybody goes in the four hole.

I usually go 20 or even 50 cents since this typically generates only a dozen or so combinations.

One more.

Everybody in the one hole. The fave and the horse with high place money in the two and three (mid exacta?). Then two or three also rans. Good when you have a very low odds favorite. Doesn't hit often but so many slam the combos with the favorite in the one hole so hard that if anything happen to him and he stays in 2nd or third, this tend to pay well.

Again, maybe a bit off topic but a couple fun bets you can do based on odds alone.
