PID was 0 for 2 yesterday, looks like just one bet today at PID with a couple potentials that could scratch up to qualify as P2 horse

LaD did have the #1 power in the last race win and pay $16.00 but it was a 5/1 Morning line. I usually bet all mine using the minimum odds setting if that is any help.

[horseplayer]

I only look for power #1 #2 with am line 10 -1 or more after scratches are put in. I don't always watch races but send bets in. if I am watching and odds go down then I will still bet but want at least 3-1 ……. I figure if odds are down must have pretty good horse.

Good strategy, Bob.
The top Platinum power horses are highly rated for a reason. When there's one or more on the list, that are 10-1+ on the morning line...well those horses win much more than their fair share of races (as you know). High odds morning line horses just don't usually win often enough to be anywhere near profitable.

The top power horses qualify on basic handicapping...recency, connections, ability, speed. Even so, some are just plain ignored by the betting public. Sometimes rightfully so, some not.

I checked some tracks today (not all)...and had maybe seven Top-Two Power horses at ML 10-1+. Previously I listed some of the lower-tier tracks this method works well at. If you can win money at SARATOGA, GULFSTREAM, etc--you have my blessing. I can't so I simply avoid them. Also, the ML at certain tracks is way off...I've had a 20-1 pick that won, and only paid $4.00. Helps to have an an accurate line

These two won Thursday:

This one is from Belterra on Tuesday. Hit 2 of 4, with another running 2nd. Check out the pick in the last race: K FOR KATHY 15-1 ML. Paid a whopping $3.20 to win. That horse was obvious to everyone, except the ML maker.

About time to give GGX a BEST-FIVE CONSENSUS shot.

Good Luck,

-NCG

[NorCalGreg]

And once again, BEST-FIVE had all the winners on the card @ GGX.
Don't know why I play anywhere else.

I played the 50 cent early Pick-5, playing all 3 contenders per race... cost $121.50 and returned $440.85. I didn't play the late P-5 or the 20 cent P-6--but neither paid well, anyway.

If you are winning at the races--no matter with software, or a Racing Form and a Sharpie...fantastic. If you aren't winning, and don't have a ton of money to spend on software--take a look at what I have to offer. Nothing is over $50 (there are no shipping charges, or tax on digital items) If I'm right here on the computer, you'll receive your software program (in an email link) in minutes. Or if not just call and I'll get you squared away shortly.
*BTW these programs are easy to learn (I'm talking 5 or 10 minutes), and THEY WIN! No black boxes here...but do your homework and keep records--you'll win more than you're winning now.

Best,

-NCG

Cleaned the card with the winner within the Consensus Top 3. (9 out of 9). Very Nice Greg!! I guess it was about time to run GGX once again. Excellent Stuff!!

[NorCalGreg]

GGX comes through, again--2 for 2 @ 10-1 or better:

.

Also...remember the Mark Cramer Maiden Spot Play I mentioned last week? Maiden dropping into a Maiden Claimer 1st time--with a positive jock switch? (and any decent trainer)?
There aren't many plays-maybe 2 or 3 a day, if that many.

There were 3 qualifiers today, of the track data files I had.
DM 11TH NEWELL 20-1
MTH 11TH WARRIORS BLADE 20-1
ELP 8TH MY MARGARET ANNE 20-1

First two ran out...but @ Ellis Park MY MARGARET ANNE won and paid a whopping $85.20. That is the 2nd 80.00+ winner I've had with this play recently, not to mention another $44 winner. I actually had Steve program it for me...so instead of digging through PP's from track-to-track, I just click the button to find any potential plays. Who knew my laziness would one day pay off?

[OzYank]

very nice indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have that maiden claimer first time angle programmed into a key on Plat Power? Or have plans to?
Am just getting into your Best 5 and exacta programs starting to turn the corner lol. Love it!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tor Ekman]

Presque Isle has been pretty consistent with some nice scores, in the 8th race tonight Ben of the Bush, #2 Power, Top E1/E2 horse, 12-1 ML paid $17.40

[NorCalGreg]

No, Yank...that Cramer Spot Play is on a program I'm currently working on. Not sure when that one will be released, though.

Only looked at the Top-2 Power plays @ Parx and Presque. PID had 1 play, no winner. Parx brought home 1 out of 2. ENDUROS DIAMOND 15-1 ML paid a decent $18.20. The other play JJ LOVES BILLY 12-1 ran 2nd in the 9th race.

There were 2 others listed in race 4 @ Parx...but out of a field of 12--9 scratched out insuring there would be no long shot winner with just 3 horses. I just deleted the race and didn't bother.
One other thing--in the 10th was an 8-1 ML horse FIRE MISSION who won and paid $14. Since my minimum is 10-1ML, I just let that one go.

I didn't get that one, Tor...possibly I missed a scratch or two in that race. The only PID play at 10-1+ I could find, was BACI 12-1 ML in the 7th.

Best 5 had every winner today at LaD, up to a $49.00 horse and rolled through all the pic bets with some nice prices.

Just goes to show....

With a million views ...the prices are still there

So to all those people that are reluctant to post picks because of lower ROI's...

Your full of it!!!
