What's The Reason for CompuTrak's Success?

What’s The Reason For CompuTrak’s Success?

We have often been asked why it is that the CompuTrak handicapping program has been so successful.

That it has provided, and continues to provide, profitable handicapping is factual, yet the question remains: Why?

As to proof of CompuTrak's success, we can list these five main points:

* Its long-lasting market presence, first introduced in 1992;
* Doc Sartin, the renown handicapping expert's, enthusiasm; http://www.revelationprofits.com/SartinCompl.htm
* The early positive testing results by the Phillips Newsletter. http://www.revelationprofits.com/Phi...estResults.htm
* The very positive Daily Racing Form article by the columnist Brad Free.
http://www.revelationprofits.com/art...adFree-DRF.htm
* The demonstrated handicapping contest wins, using CompuTrak, by handicapper Lindsay Hurst, posted here on PA

And these are apart from the hundreds of testimonials by individual users.

So, again, the question: Why is this so?

To begin to answer this question, I should point out what CompuTrak is not. Many handicapping programs are written to computerize a particular individual's personal handicapping style. CompuTrak was not created this way. In contrast, CompuTrak was written based on unbiased engineering and mathematical research.

One may think it not possible to use engineering principles, principles usually associated only with non-living objects, to analyze flesh-and-blood horses. But the research exploring this and its conclusions are embodied in the engineering report "Engineering Analysis of Thoroughbred Racing" along with its "Addendum."
http://www.revelationprofits.com/doc...20Analysis.pdf
http://www.revelationprofits.com/docs/addendum.pdf

While it's one thing to have such an analysis, as with any other engineering theory, its validation must come from actual experiments. In this case, the experiments are the real-world application of the theory to actual handicapping. The results obtained by these experiments, some mentioned above, have provided such validation.

So, in summary, the bottom line answer to the question as to why CompuTrak is so successful: Its success is a direct result of its unbiased engineering approach.

GREAT PIECE OF WORK

The top package out there, it picks winners in Turf races, that at first glance
it would take the horse a year and a day to get around the track. All kidding
aside, I will never forget the last day of the CD meet, I think it was last year
it was a turf race, Computrack had a long long and I mean long on top
(70-1) mmmm I said why not, used it in my combos hit the tri, exacta and
SF. I find it great on Turf races, but not so much on dirt, why that is I have
no idea. Simple to use and not very pricey.

Hyipro,

Thank you for your upbeat comments about CompuTrak

To respond to your question as to the difference in results between Turf and Dirt races.

While CompuTrak does very well in both Turf and Dirt races, as you can see by the results available on the links provided in this thread, it is interesting to note why turf races can provide exceptional value.

The engineering math in "Engineering Analysis of Thoroughbred Racing", yielded a value that is equivalent to Friction in Physics. The physical interpretation of this value in horse racing is that it represents a horse's closing capability or stamina. Since it is well known that Turf races, more than Dirt races, favor horses with superior closing capability this Friction value provides a strong edge for handicappers.

In deriving the Friction value, CompuTrak analyzes the individual horse, independently of the other horses in the race, which avoids the fictitious closing capability often misinterpreted due to the leading horse slowing down, rather than the horse in question exhibiting the true physical characteristics of being a closer.

How successful HAS CompuTrak been? What can we expect if we use it year-round?

The links at the start of this thread go a long way in answering your question.
Better yet, you can try CompuTrak for free and see for yourself. There is a free version of the program avaiable at our website www.revelationprofits.com

If anyone is using Windows XP to download race files from Bris or download other stuff, expect to be hacked any day now. The crooks will have a field day with computers still using Windows XP..

Don't worry too much, they're busy getting into ATM networks around the world.

Not to nit pick but your unverifiable results on your home page go back 9 years. You should post something that suspicious guys like me can check out and verify.
