    Thanks Steven. Let me give some thought to any add-ons. I agree with your statement about 100% mechanical methods and angles. Tom did post this-- "hitting over 50% winners in the top 2, 64% in the top 3, and 25% exactas in the top 3." Thanks again for your help.

    I'm not sure what to make of the results. Below is from yesterday 15JAN2022 at GPX and TAM. I tossed 1 maiden race at TAM since there were several FTS's. I highlighted a couple of overlays. There is at least 1 overlay in almost every race. So I think you need to add additional handicapping and/or use in verticals and horizontals. I know Tom provided a few working examples at the start. Perhaps he can provide a few more.

    Thanks Steven. I'm very busy this week. But I have the new version downloaded and will try and test drive it this weekend or sometime next week. Thanks, Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Okay, if it's an easy fix.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Okay, I was not aware of this rule-- "the software will only rank the top 5 horses, all others will be 100-1." I checked several entries, and this appears to be what's happening. The top 6th or 7th low ML entries that I checked are earning points in the 5 categories, but LESS than the top 5, therefore are 100-1. I think you'll see the same. Just had me concerned when I saw it. Thanks, again-- Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Good morning Steven. There appears to be a bug where some UOL's are defaulting to 100-1. I checked a few entries today 12/30 from AQU, GPX and FGX. I tried to find a pattern, but didn't see anything. If you check some of the low ML entries, 3-1, 4-1, etc, you'll see where the UOL's are 100-1. Thanks, Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Thanks for the updates Steven. Mixed results today. But, just looking for overlays with no other handicapping. 2 Wins and 5 Places. Did catch another $40+ winner. Also, noticed a few selections that were bet down to, or close to the UOL, that would have been thrown out if you were simply looking only for strong overlays.

    FGX and HAW updates after scratches. FYI. Remember, I'm using the ML. With scratches, real-time odds come into play, and some of the selections are no longer overlays.

    I wasn't sure what to expect. Looks like you can work this into your handicapping. Not sure how many $48.20 winners you'll see. I did see where Tom worked some of his picks into Exactas. 8 races-- 2 Winners and 3 Places.

  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Sounds good Steven. No rush. I don't have any other bugs or suggestions.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    Coorection: I would recommend the lower, 16 = 6-1, and 28 = "3-1" (I had 7-2).
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    I need to check a few things with the coding. 1). If the Score falls in between two Odds, which Odds are you defaulting to? For example, Scores 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 27, 28 etc. For example, if the Score is 16, is the Odds 6-1 or 7-1? Score 28, 3-1 or 7-2? Seems in Tom's examples he went both ways. I would recommend the lower, 16 = 6-1, and 28 = 7-2.
    2). How are you Scoring multiple ties? For example, 102, 87, 81, 81, 81. [10 - 6 - ? - ? - ?]. For example, 20, 19, 16, 16, 15. [10 - 6 - ? - ? - ?]. Thanks, Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    This is helpful. I'll recheck some examples tomorrow when I get home. I was taking the ties (85 & 85)-- (10 + 6 / 2 = 8 each) versus equal 10 each.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    1). The LPLR column now reads UOL when you open up a race. Should go back to LPLR. Click on a race and it changes. 2). Also, I'm not coming up with the 10-6-4-2-1 total for each column that equals the UOL. Seems to be off a few points. If you can pick a track and date for today or tomorrow, we can go over a few examples. I'm going to be out most of today so may not get back to you right away. Thanks, Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    I'm okay with adding the trainer's overall win % with the 10-6-4-2-1 versus any high-level coding. Also, would like the ML column next to the UOL (no coding, just for reference and comparison). There may be others like me that are not able to bet "live", and make their bets early. Thanks, Jim.
  • Tom's Ulitmate Odds Line - The Software
    I'll default to Tom and the rest of the group, but maybe add a different rating? Something related to class, or a high impact value rating that's in the DRF file. Also, easy to code.
