I didn't actually review this method, Lefty...just the book itself. The reason I think (hope) it will be effective here is because of the high strike rate in the selection method. This system was intended for even-odd, hit-or-miss types of wagers, like the coin flip the author mentions.

[NorCalGreg]

Okay...perhaps I didn't think this wagering method all the way through (and how it would apply to horse racing). I would need to keep separate banks for each track, I suppose. And adjusting bets "on the fly", since some will be going off at the same time-how's that gonna work? Maybe instead of adjusting per race-perhaps adjusting by day might be better. It will at least be less complicated.

As you know Easy Money works at some tracks but I have been tracking and it doesn't work at Oaklawn.

Hi Greg

Have you used the betting system by Al Illich called "Winmore" ?

It is a very good progression that works well even with a string of low paying horses

No Bob, I haven't tried that one, although Lefty was asking about it recently. If you have the method would you mind a demonstration...with maybe one or two spot plays? I'm curious as probably others are.

Hi Greg

Give me a couple of weeks and I will send you some results. Once I have a row of 20 races for a spot play I will share them. This will allow me to have a good combination of w's and l's so that you can see the progression. It will take a few days since I am using the method on each spot play independently and I usually have at most 3 plays a day for any one spot play.

[NorCalGreg]

Sounds good, Bob

Seems any time I don't download data files from Bris the previous day--there are problems:

AGAIN Bris is sending All-Ways files to anyone downloading single files for GPX

https://www.brisnet.com/ecomm/produc...1/gpx0108j.zip

I could still use it if it was a j-cap file (which I thought it was, with the "J" after the date).

Hey Bris: YOUR CUSTOMERS WHO PAID FOR GPX SINGLE FILE DATA- WANT GPX SINGLE FILE DATA.

Clearly no one gives a damn at Bris.

[NorCalGreg]

Haven't checked the PLATINUM exactas lately--see if we can get lucky today:

*no scratches posted yet for SA



And Tampa:



Interesting 2nd time starter @ Tampa:

5th LIFENHOWULIVIT 6-1

[NorCalGreg]

Was wondering why this horse wasn't on the AUSSIE OUTBACK list...or the LONE SPEED list somewhere? Suppose I need to check the "rules" for both those spot plays. It's probably a "date-of-late-race" requirement.
This was the most obvious winner I've seen, lately...and still paid $7.80!

[NorCalGreg]

Trusty PLATINUM POWER had that one and more:

It should have been on the Aussie Outback list but for some reason it leaves some races out. I manually check each race now cause I don't trust the coding of that button.

If this works I have inserted a copy of a run of plays using the Winmore Plan by Al Illich. If it doesn't work would someone be so kind as to tell me how to insert a .GIF into this message,

Thanks

It came out fine, Bob. Was wondering how far the bet progression goes--when the eventual losing streak happens?

[NorCalGreg]

I may have posted this in the previous thread we had here.

There are a ton of early plays, late plays, turf, etc one can come up with using the Pace-View numbers.
