Matt, since you place bets all at one time, what's your criteria to
be reasonably sure you will get your price?
Really dont worry much because I bet them all conditionally, I would say on average about 50% of my bets go through. Normally Im looking for MLO of at least 6-1 and/or a higher contention line.
Basically spun our wheels in October blindly betting AVC but it was a winning month again
35 BETS
3 WINNERS
WIN% = 8.57
TOTAL BET $700
TOTAL RETURNED $788
NET RETURN $88
ROI 12.57%
WINNERS PAID $260, $396, $132
SEE ATTACHED FILES 1 & 2
This brings our season totals since June 1st to
227 BETS
18 WINNERS
WIN% = 7.93
TOTAL BET $4540
TOTAL RETURNED $5004
NET RETURN +$464
ROI 10.22%
If we eliminate everything but claiming races in Oct we lose one winner but the ROI goes way up
22 BETS
2 WINNERS
WIN% = 9.09
TOTAL BET $440
TOTAL RETURNED $656
NET RETURN $216
ROI 49.09%
WINNERS PAID $260, $396

Only Claimers for the season gives us
146 BETS
14 WINNERS
WIN% = 9.59
TOTAL BET $2920
TOTAL RETURNED $4228
NET RETURN $1308
ROI 44.79%
This above is a full 5 months of data, hopefully this proves my point by now to all the naysayers. It is quite possible to be profitable with this software even without thinking, if you use your brain a bit and keep good records and analyze those results a bit over time you can be very profitable. I dont believe I would try to handicap as a source of income, but it can be quite fun and you can make a few bucks with some consistency. I sincerely want to thank Michael Pizzolla for this software and mostly for taking the time to show me how to use it while still having the patience to let me have my own style, regardless of how stupid it probably seems to him at the time.
Last but not least, for Mike, simply because I don't want him to worry that I only made $88 last month, I include an excel with all of my bets for October

Probably going to stop posting this for a while, with the holidays coming up I will be quite busy. Maybe Ill give an update sometime next year, but based on several years of past records, everything should keep rolling right along how it has been in this thread.
