Nice interview. Now Sean Alvarez is on my watch-list for horseplayers.
A new player, or a weekend warrior can use
automatic-bet angles, where
IF such-and-such is happening
AND odds or public ranking is such and such
THEN $auto-bet a ticket.
No shame in that game.
Much of my
DRF Watch List is essentially angles, that flag a horse and a race, and give me a framework to consider, to make a judgement call.
I kinda use the word 'angle' synonomously with the word 'models'
<3 (or factors, etc...).
Attractive Angles/models (or a full field big Stakes, or a part of a possible multi-race sequence) draws me to look at a race in the first place. Then I hope to see my model being strong, and the Odds being in my favor. Then there are kind of a check-list of many commonly occurring models that happen to be significant in a good chunk of most races.
It's kinda like doing an SAT or IQ test, but where the answer "None of the Above" is as prominent as a choice, and where it takes place
in a Market Environment. It can get crazy!
