The Free HandicapperPlus Windows Version Has Been Updated
The free version of HandicapperPlus for Windows has been updated.
Previously, several of us here considered having a "black box" handicapping software competition. It was hard to come to any ground rules, including exactly what constitutes "blackbox handicapping software."
This newest version of HandicapperPlus is as close as my software is going to get to being a black box. Basically, if you set your win percentage and bankroll using the built in Kelly Tool, then select the option to "Offer Betting Advice" and use "Only high confidence races", this software will pick which races to bet and tell you which straight bets to make on those races. It still doesn't pick the exotics, but it WILL tell you which horses are contenders for the exotics, and which exotics they're contenders for.
For those of you unfamiliar with the Windows Version of Handicapper Plus, it's free handicapping software that imports Formulator, Brisnet Single Data, and JCapper files for instantaneous picks in tip sheet format. Download it at handicapperplus.com or click here to get it now.
For those of you who already use HandicapperPlus, be sure to "Check for Updates" (Under the "Help" menu) and get the newest version.
Please note: YES, the software is completely 100% free, however, you do have to register the software in order to generate a personalized key if and only if you want to use the betting advice function. Also note, only the WINDOWS version is free. The Android version is not free, and last time some people flamed me because that other version is not free... I'm referring only to the Windows version in this post, so, please, note this.
Other programs are less "top heavy" in handicapping, many are more customizable, and some have far, far more features... but I will pit the HandicapperPlus software against handicapping software at any price point out there based on amount of money won by using the built-in HandicapperPlus algorithm as the judging criteria.
PS: If you enjoy using HandicapperPlus, please do contact me and let me know. Your emails and comments are the only reason I continue to make the software available for public use.

Hi Texas Dolly,
I think I remember you.
I can't really assist with exporting files from your product, but if you are able to get the data files, we should be able to open them. Send me an email at TonyMLake@aol.com and I will try to help you.
Thanks

I tried open and import but always get an error message.
I guess your note means you were able to actually process a race card .
Thanks

I wasn't trying to export any files, only import a csv file to process. I sent you an email.
Thanks

Handicapper Plus doesn't import .csv files, only .drf, .jcp, and the files exported from Formulator (there are several of those).

Those buttons have different functions. The "Open" button opens files saved in HandicapperPlus format. The "New" button creates a HandicapperPlus file.
The "Import" button does just that: imports Formulator, JCapper, or Brisnet Singled Data PP files.

The .drf file is a csv file so I'm not sure what you mean. The ext is a drf but the file is in a csv format. The file I was trying to import had a drf ext and I called it a csv file in the earlier post.
But to be clear the file I tried to import had a .drf ext but it failed each time.
Thanks,
TD

Ok, typically, a person would click "File->Import->Import Brisnet Single File PPs" and navigate to the file, then Click "Open" and the file should import automatically.
If you're having a specific problem at that point, email me or pm me and I'll try to help you figure out what the problem might be. If you have a specific error message, that will definitely help. Send that to me and we'll take a look at it.
Thanks for asking!

Thank you for the update. By mixing your algorithm with my custom one, I have been getting interesting results with triple and super mixes. Originally I didn't pay much attention to the program seeing that it seemed so basic and something that I had monkeyed with over 20 yrs ago with speed number averaging, that I put it aside, but now my interest is piqued again. And the betting advice part of the program is another nice feature. Again, thanks.
