*Handicapping Methods-Spot Play Testing-Software Etc

just take the easy ones, Lad, Alb, etc.........

If you went to his site today he had GP best 5 posted. If you would have played all 3 horses every race you would have won $13+. It hit 6 out of 9 races. Of course I didn't play it, just followed it.

You won't win many days doing that, especially at GP.

That and the Saratoga sheet gave me something to watch till Del Mar finally started. Hate these late starts on Fridays.

Here's something you don't see but about once a year--ROMANTIC
WINK was 30-1 ML--with 4 works in 8 days! Maybe they were paying stable fees by the hour.

Unfortunately, that flurry of works didn't help much

*Also some BEST-FIVE selections for FINGER LAKES---up on the website

[oughtoh]

On his website today at GPX he had a $15.80 and $112. winner. The $112 was the top pick and the other was the second pick. And yes I did not bet them.

Good afternoon:

When I was coming up, I read most of the current books ---including my all-time favorite: Tom Ainslie.

I still remember most of his, and Taulbot's articles and certain methods---which btw, are still as valid today as they were when brand new. To this day I have certain spot plays I automatically look for.

One such spot play I happened upon without consciously searching for it---is the "Good/Bad" or "Up and Down" play.

The play itself is older than dirt---most of you will be quite familiar with it. The entire play is just finding a horse--the runs alternating Good, then Bad races.

I found a beauty yesterday--8th race @ Penn. Take a look:

I hear from users pretty often--one of the questions is "Which Program--Spot play--Method etc...should I use?"

The only way I can answer that--is to tell them to pick one or two---your choice. Whatever you find interesting. Then research and record your findings for track, distance, etc. Handicapping is honestly not that difficult--I find the biggest obstacle for myself--is keeping the money. The mental discipline required to succeed..and success in horse-playing is measured by profits and losses. I don't believe you can actually learn this...you're either mentally tough and have the gumption to accomplish this...or you don't.

Being a semi smart-ass..I wanted to show how easy it can be to win. I didn't say a word--I just posted selections on my website. The selections were made using strictly Best-of-last-Two Bris Speed at EVD---absolutely no other handicapping was done. There is a button you can click on BEST-FIVE that will give you every top "Speed" selection, for every race.

(on a side note....the other day @ FLX "Speed" had 7 of 9 winners)

Anyhoo today I was going to show how I had 3 or 4 winners---just using last-two speed.

Unfortunately, my plan went to hell-- when I checked results and saw exactly ZERO winners at EVD. So much for my "pick a method--any method" idea.....for now.

Karma is still alive and well, it seems. I happened to check the
B-FIVE Consensus for that track. It contained the winner of every race on the card...as just happened a couple days ago, as well @ FLX, and I think someone said GPX a few days ago.

The moral is....pick a method you like. Are you a 25% winner right now? You soon will be---25% is child's play. Figure out how to turn that into a profit...and next step is to keep the winnings in your pocket.

Bet you didn't know PONYPICKER handicaps quarter horses:

hey Greg:

On the Consensus Report ... is the 'Value' number -- the far right number -- in your Pace View program equal to the far right number on the Consensus page in Platinum? Thanks.

[NorCalGreg]

No Ralphie....the Pace View far-right Ability number is weighed toward Class.

The B-5 consensus are the sum of the four best mechanical methods I have--the consensus itself is the 5th---making it a "Best-5---instead of "Best-4"

You'll sometimes see a "60" value--that equals a unanimous selection. It wins more than the favorite---but the payoffs are so low, the selection is useless for everything except as an exotics toss-in...or as a confidence-builder during hellish runouts.

You'll soon be King of the World, again. Hitting 14 of the next 30, you'll be a new man.

Unfortunately...the avg payoff is under $4.00--so your dwindling bankroll will continue dwindling
