You can read all the chess books in the world, it won't make you a grandmaster. You gotta play the game with real money to get to the next level.

I'm starting to think you don't like me.

That is just what I did with Platinum (Greg) and Pandy's programs. Old files never die, they just feed data bases.

That is an idea that Doc Sartin drove home. If you don't put real money on a race, don't count it in your records. I used old files to get the feel for how a software program works and all that, but once I start tallying my real world result, or try new angle, or new way to pick a contender, I at least put $2 on every "pick" before I write it down in my records. Even if I bet it to show, it keeps me honest - no more "Well, I would have had that one for sure, and Oh, that was obvious.....then end up down $500 by Friday.
