And yes, back to the subject of this thread, they are two different concepts. I think this is anecdotal but I've always heard that on any given day, 95% of the people at the track lose and of that remaining 5%, about 3% (or maybe even 4%) are only winners for that day, the remaining 2% (or 1%) are the only long term winners. So to beat the game, you have to be in the top 1% - 2% of the people there at the track. — Steven
I agree Dave, totally different concepts. But I think that whatever concept you choose it has to fit your personality. — Tony Kofalt
I would contend that that is because there are near 40% winning favorites. The problem is that if you are using a line as a selection, you won't get many longshots.[/b. — RanchWest
An odds line is an odds predictor, not a performance forecast. — RanchWest
However, it's not directly the distance that is the reason for variable length on speed figures, it's the variable velocity caused by the distance. — Dustin Korth
Wow Dave- you achieved a $net of $.89 on these favs. To me that is amazing!! Great job — Tony Kofalt
I would prefer you didn't publish results that cannot be validated (especially for a small sample). Otherwise, it's just like the babble on Fox or the after the fact analysts on CNBC. I won't even mention the other fake news network. Sorry! — Biniak
I'd like to get on that list as well. — JRand
How do you determine if a horse is BET AGAINST? — Rich Val
Is there anything you can share about your bet/not bet decision process? — RanchWest
Not sure I follow "And it really is a great handicapping approach" unless you mean S.F.T. but I am halfway through "How to Measure Anything" and I am still learning stuff. It's deep thinking? — Biniak
Also, I second Ranch's recommendation on SDiU. The movie will increase your faith! It starts slow but really builds to a fantastic finish. — Biniak
What movie? — RanchWest
I think maybe my favorite is Renegage Handicapper, just for the way it points to value. Second to that would be Horse Market Investing. — Steven
