• Couple of questions
    I have a plan for this but it will not be in the upcoming beta release.

    It will be addressed within a couple of weeks of initial release.

    You definitely deserve a prize; you just had the wrong category (was my point).

    LOL - Perfect.


    Wait until you see how much more there is... some is already in DET and more that I have to share.
    Just the tip of the iceberg. I'll try to find time for some screenshots soon.

    Meanwhile back to my single bug and the rest.

    Can't believe I missed this reply for NINE DAYS!
    If you look up Nobel peace prize, you'll find that Alfred Nobel produced weapons and explosives.

  • Couple of questions
    Great questions.
    And thank you for asking here.

    Do the whales only bet to win, or do they bet exacta, tri, sup, DD, pic3-4-5?
    They play almost every track, almost every race at those tracks, and almost every pool within those races.

    Also, when we get the program, will it all be on the internet, similar to Betmix, or will we have our own program that we download to our computers?
    deTerminator will reside on your local machine.
    You can take it anywhere. Perfect for a laptop. An internet connection IS NOT REQUIRED to run.
    However, It will be licensed to a single machine, and will not run on a different machine.

    (Yes, it is very good at telling the difference between machines.)
  • TESTING deTERMINATOR BALOs
    Because we want more accuracy.
  • Written instructions?
    That's very kind.
    No, it is all under the hood.
  • Written instructions?
    Not a chance of it.
    The manual would cost me like $100k.
  • TESTING deTERMINATOR BALOs
    They are two different approaches.
    The RED number is based upon RUNNING STYLE - and, by virtue of not being green, is NOT AI. It is a computation.

    The GREEN numbers ARE AI because the AI used it's own approach to build the objects and its own algorithm to determine likeness (to the AI Line), albeit starting with a formula I gave it.
  • same picks for all users?
    First, I must be clear on this: deTerminator doesn't make picks.
    It creates screens - rows and columns of data.

    Let's modify the question to ask:
    Will everyone get the same screens from the AI?
    The answer is YES.

    Just like when you and the guy next to you look in the DRF, you see the same Beyer Numbers for each horse.

    HOWEVER...
    There is a function where the player can create his own unique "ID" that will cause a bit of randomness. Not all the time - but some of of the screens will change. I honestly do not know HOW OFTEN or HOW MUCH.

    WHICH LEADS TO...
    ... A logical question.
    "If I choose a UNIQUE ID, will the results be better or worse?"

    Since the AI's goal is to always produce the best and you are choosing SOMETHING DIFFERENT, your results SHOULD BE somewhat weaker long term.
  • TESTING deTERMINATOR BALOs
    1. Maybe I missed it. Along the paceline, between o AIBH and o Pace E there's a bold red pace figure like "SR". I wasn't sure what that was for?Jim Pommier

    SR stands for "Stretch Run."
    The RED SR means that is what the RUNNING STYLE of the race would indicate to be the most important OBJECT of the 4 objects.

    Chaos races. I'm guessing that the AI ranks a Chaos "5" more chaotic than a "1"? In one of the races, you knew that it was a chaos race. Is that because there were two (2) contenders (2 Non-BALO's) or was there a field or something that indicated it was a chaos race? The Instruction or Strategy screen that you went to-- is that just for chaos races? It's a nice feature.

    That is correct. The primary difference between a 4 and a 5 is that a 5 suggests doing no handicapping and just playing ALL the NATURAL ODDS horses.

    With a CHAOS-4 you CAN handicap the winners to the top.

    Note that applying handicapping in a CH-5 (and only betting the good ones) will get you a whole bunch of medium -priced winners --- and likely be solidly profitable --- but at the expense of the GIANT payoffs - like $0, $120 and the like.

    Those horses just very rarely handicap to the top against horses that ultimately wind up paying $12.

  • Reshaping this forum - Your ideas, please
    First, I love all these ideas.
    Some are a little labor intensive - and my personal labor is always in short supply.

    But I've already scheduled a meeting with Sherri (my primary VA) and Kelsey to make many of the iother things happen.

    Just a heads up - I'm in the process of recording a video of BALOs from April 13 - the day that Matt commented about on PaceAdvantage. It' is long and comes in multiple parts.

    The first part shows how well it works and the rest is simply PROOF if anyone wants to see that.
  • deTERMINTAOR Update
    Aside from your wonderful use of metaphors - the rippling muscles part was by far the best - I am humbled by your comment.

    Thank you.

    It's coming real soon.
    I am assuming that you're an HSH user. Reach out quickly so I may offer you a wonderful discount on the new software.
  • Ques004: AI BEST HORSE - ODDS SENSITIVE (LONGSHOTS)
    the output meaning the outcome of the race and the associated factors of the winners?Dennis

    The output of the race... but no idea what the factors are.
  • Ques004: AI BEST HORSE - ODDS SENSITIVE (LONGSHOTS)
    No.
    One giant sample and let the AI do what it will.
    IOW, you might have a 4f race for young horses that the AI chose to handicap like a mile on the dirt for older horses.

    I simply have no idea how they are segmented.

    I only know that it is powerfully consistent.

    But know that I did zero segmentation.

    Ah... you're thinking about the Topological Data Analysis!
    Actually a good way to think.

    But what I did was let the AI segment THE OUTPUT instead of the input.

    Have totally enjoyed these videos. Knowing the Balo in a race would really help your win percentages.Ed Malz

    By itself it is enough to win.
  • deTERMINTAOR Update
    No.
    I said that I was only doing demos currently on non-turf.

    A SHORT update

    I have 8 bugs that I know of - 3 are real traffic stoppers.

    I am taking a couple of days to slay the big bugs then will return with more videos.

    Next is CHAOS RACES & STRATEGIES.
  • Ques004: AI BEST HORSE - ODDS SENSITIVE (LONGSHOTS)
    The choices were due to research done by a simple engine I created a long time ago that crawled the data trying different odds ranges.

    These were the significant breakpoints that produced changes in the factor makeup.

    Thus, 4/1+ horses contain a better factor makeup than 7/2+ - more CONSISTENCY IN LIKENESS.

    IOW, they were built not to fit the need for human conformity to a strategy but rather where the data took me.
