Count me in too. I'm sort of a one horse pony programmer meaning I'm comfortable with only one language but I'm always interested in improving.

I am still very much a work in progress. Dave and I have had many conversations and I truly hope I can find a way out of the "refill the account" loop.

I’ve heard better lucky than good.

You are most welcome. Hope it helps.

Well, not a real database. It writes a csv file from drf and exotic results files and then I use excel to do the analysis and write the above report.

Thanks Conley!

It’s from a database program I wrote and is patterned after Dave’s “What’s Winning” workshop.

What's winning at TAM so far in 2022

What's winning at OPX so far in 2022.

I think Steve probably gets it now.

Yes.

What is it Dave said in one of his workshops "Often wrong, seldom in doubt".

Yes. A different speed rating. Thanks

Should have checked in here sooner and looks like I misunderstood the COLLECTION SPEED rating.

Dave, if you would be so kind, would you please remove both instances of UOL2.5?

Thank you.

I'll put this here and in the Ultimate Odds Line thread but here is Tom's Ultimate Odds Lince Calculator V2.5 WITH COLLECTIVE SPEED! No complete instructions yet (if I get there) but there is a new button "COLLECTIVE SPEED" and a new column "COLL".

The COLL column is just the sum of all of the horses speed figures as per Dave and when you double click a race you'll get a single race view but if you click the "COLLECTIVE SPEED" button, you will get a complete card view. And I don't want to to make this too easy, so you may have to click the "COLL" heading a couple of times to get them in descending order.

Post questions and comments in here please.

Hey Jim. Of course that looks interesting but the 2 turn race and 1 turn race info is not directly available in the data files so this may be impossible to exam. Like it does not say, this was a two turn race and todays race is a one turner. Do you have some mechanical way to determine this like a list of tracks where X furlong races and longer are 2 turners and Y furlong races and shorter are one turners?

So less than half a percent (0.4%). YIKES.

I guess that's why there is so much mental anguish that goes along with horse playing. It's really tough to be a long term winner. It's much easier (and sometimes more fun) to play against a house edge of like 1.4% instead of what we face. Easier to hit longer winning streaks too.

I would be simply ecstatic if I could break even. How does the joke go, "Please God, let me break even today, I need the money".

If I remember right, Dave's HMI program has an example wherein the user is breaking even but with the MM concepts of HMI, he can show a profit.

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.

Edited to delete my original response to your message.

No.

Speaking as the UOL programmer*, yes you are asking a bit much for a free app.

*Programmer only, concept development goes to Tom.
