Oh, but it can be done that way. No trips or track bias needed...hard to believe I know, but remember what you just said...

Sure, wasn't suggesting it couldn't. It's probably easier to win with other skills in tow, but you might be able to do it off paper only, if you understand the game well enough.

Years ago, there were folks keeping the stats now published everywhere for themselves. There was a guy who did it commercially 20 years ago. Not sure if he made money or not, but talked about his trainer stats at least that long ago. I'm sure it goes back way before that.


Off strictly running lines, harder still, but possible.

But really, I prefer the app pictured here in this thread , where you get to cash $100 winners off of whatever magic is embedded in the code.

But if you like lots of formulas and esoteric discussions of probability, knock yourself out. looks like the whole book is on google

Some valid and useful information can be found in this book but still it is a little primitive and basic when compared to today's methodologies and especially machine learning and AI.

Hi Ray,

No, I need clarification on certain numbers.
