I tabulated and got $16.98. But I am dealing in Canadian dollars.

Those were his Woodbine picks.
Is he on TVG?

There is video evidence regarding Serling's meet here. ROI must have been pretty huge. Although ever since that FOX special on the aliens at Roswell, I do not believe everything I see on video.

Nice to see Dominic Terry doing well.
Who can ever forget his brilliant 1-for-49 meet at Presque Isle Downs last year?
Much like milk, he comes in 2% ... and that at the early stages of PID '08 .. the home, year, and time of the five horse field.

Betting top pick to win
364 races
-7.4% ROI
Invest $728 Return $674
Betting top 2 picks to win
354 Races (I missed 1 day)
-16% ROI
Invest $1409 return $1190
Betting top 3 picks in a $1 exacta box
354 Races (I missed 1 day)
-12% ROI
Invest $2036 Return $1786
Data is after scratches. If one of his 4 picks was scratched the others moved up. It worked as much to his advantage as to his disadvantage. I would say scratches helped more than hurt his ROI in all 3 categories.Additionaly,if only 2 of his picks were left after scratches,I only charged him $2 for the exacta box. If only 1 pick was left after scratches,he didn't get charged for an exacta nor for having a 2nd pick.

Not accurate....but go for it. You missed a day? That's too funny. Which one pray tell?
Or, better yet, get a life.

The day I missed was filled in by CJ as far as your win bet return. So that category is accurate. I didn't have your 2nd or 3rd picks that day so cant tell for the other 2 categories but you're probably better off that way.
As far as getting a life,there wasn't much time wasted. I automatically had zeroes filled in all the categories and only adjusted when you hit maybe 2 or 3 races per day. Big deal.
I only undertook this because of the stupidity I kept hearing around here of how you are such a great handicapper. I think this little study proves otherwise,despite whatever dance you want to dance around it.
