Handicapping Websites
I know that “advertising” is not allowed on this site but looking for general feedback on if anyone thinks handicapping websites are helpful....worth any subscription costs.....if any are better than others.....
Doesn’t appear there are too many that are generic to just one track.....?
Thank you for any input.....

Just curious, are you attached to a tampa bay hcp website? I see you've made at least three testimonials on it going back to 2012. I've not seen too many websites that actually offer a course, like Dave Schwartz does with his seminars occasionally. DRF and probably Brisnet offer some free basic handicapping usually. There are lots of youtube handicapping videos, mostly not very good, or very basic.

RE Whosonfirst Handicapping Websites
My post did not mention anything about Tampa....and I have only been a forum member since June of 2016 so not sure how I posted back to 2012....
My original questions were to Dave Schwartz as I heard a handicapper that spoke about that track and his handicapping style and was wondering if he offered other interviews from other handicappers.....
I am still new to this game...no real time or money for it....but every now and then like to explore it.....

You are on the website I mentioned in 2012. I deleted the actual site after posting it out of respect to PA. If you like I'll pm the website to you with your identical name on there. Google your name and there it is

You have a better memory than I....have been curious about this sport for quite a while but as I said..just a passing interest that every now and again I look at.... if you want to send me whatever it is you are speaking of you can inbox it I would guess....

Handicapping Websites
I have been unduly accused of being affiliated with a website due to starting a simple conversation...can’t understand what the problem was in asking but with 320 views up to this point and no replies except for my accuser I guess it’s a subject no one wants to talk about......thank you anyway......

Please let the moderators moderate. If there is something nefarious going on it it will show up soon enough.

I stupidly posted a subscription website after googling, and deleted it from my own post. Sorry for moderating my own post. I've seen others chastised for mentioning a pay website service, who wasn't an advertiser on here.

It wasn't about moderating your own post. Asking once was fine, but no reason to keep pursuing it. The original post mentioned nothing about any specific website, it simply asked for suggestions. If there was another agenda to come out later on we'd be on it.
I'm really not trying to give you a hard time. I know the intentions were good.

Handicapping websites
If you read the original post it states I know “advertising” is not allowed....I was asking in general if they thought there was merit to using subscriber services or just learn what you can from tutorial ones....

PonyGirl,
Go through the General Handicapping thread and the Handicapper's Corner for all the good info you will ever need. Go back to the beginning of the Hdcpr Corner and read the stuff Thaskalos posted - lots of good stuff and good interaction in that one.
Lots of pretty smart folks post here
Just clink on an ad once in a while.

When you first click on the above-bolded thread areas, first scroll to the bottom of the screen where you will see an area called "Display Options". I believe the "From The" box might have a default value of " Last 100 Days". Be sure to change this to " From the Beginning" to see ALL the threads, otherwise you will probably miss many of the threads and posts that Tom and others believe are a great source of information.
