I have spent most of the "winter season" away from the nags....It isn't my time of year on most days ...My records bear this out year in and year out....So with more time on my hands, I have been reviewing my betting records, and have been doing some homework on a few angles that show good promise, as well as a new "spot play method" that I am putting the finishing touches on, as of right now.....
I call this new method the
"MEAL TICKET"....As it shows enough of promise this early on, that if one understands the concept behind it thoroughly enough, and is careful to follow the rules at least to the "spirit" of the method, and maybe not necessarily the "full letter of the laws" plays, one could most likely do very well in the long run using the method...
I really don't want to give away too, too much as of yet
, but know this, the whole handicapping premise(s) is based and anchored mainly on the "MONEY BOX", and more importantly the "SUPER MONEY BOX"....Of course the MBX isn't a panacea or an easy way, but only a way of identifying, to start with, live horses that just plain, "Like To Win"...So when you have a good SMBX number to start with, and the handicapping suggests that the rules of the method are mostly adhered to, then you will be betting on very "LIVE" horses....I will try to demonstrate this, as I go along...(haha)...How long, I dunno really, but I will try to be diligent in my ongoing posts, for as long as mine or anyone else's interest may last...
In Nov. 13, I had to drain my betting account in order to take a cruise
(a cheap one this year)....I had left only $55 in my ExpressBet acct
(and then only $53)...So, yesterday, I decided to begin the BETA, and I started out with
$53.00...I didn't want to wait too long to begin posting this, but since I was off to a nice start yesterday, I decided to begin posting the "test drive" today....Of course this a past post, but, whenever I post something it will be the truth, as I am way past Redboarding for vanity's sake....I win on a regular basis regardless so there is no need for vanity here...
This is strictly for FAN Interest, as I enjoy watching others here at PA"s Dark Side of Racing, both win and lose....After 50 some odd years of playing I still love this game and the continual challenge of it all....that's all...That it really the reason for all of this...
========================================
I am starting out making $4.00 plays both to WP and W, and $1 & $2 exotic plays....As the bankroll, hopefully grows, I will up the ante when it right to do so...
Also, I will try to make a running diary on the plays as well, as this is what I generally do anyway when the betting-day is done...
P.S. I will try when there is enough time to post my early considerations early enough in the day ahead of time....But, me I am an up to the minute handicapper on most days, and most times I do not know what I will wager on way ahead of time...When I prescreen the races each day, I usually use post-it notes on my desktop, before the race or the bet even comes up, so sometimes my picks will be in the shortcut version from the posit-it notes....
Day 2 starts with $62.00 in the bank....
