Board seems a bit quiet lately so I thought I would start a conversation. I have been seriously reviewing my approach. As a result of age and medical issues I'm always looking to cut back the number of races I'm playing. For the longest time I have looked for bad ML Fav's. This has always resulted in booms and busts.I have in the last week added another dimension. Historically, whenever I played I would play these races automatically. Since this wasn't working I stood back and thought for a change :grin: Going through my records and then the races, I found that there were too many low price horses winning in the majority of races I played. My choice of a bad low price was usually right on. The problem was a lot of times the winning horse was also a low price horse. This was a win 2 lose one and be back where I began or worse win 6 lose 4 and have a losing day. Other days I'm on the high paying horse and doing fine. Still it just felt like I was a hamster on the wheel. So this week I started looking at the race itself. What percentage of favorites won this exact type of race and what was the median payoff. Playing live this week I cut my plays by 2/3 and have managed to make a decent profit every day. (I went back 2 months and tested it first, but live testing always best for me). Since this is a test period I'm keeping my $$ low. Will run it for a month and then increase bets. Sorry, this was going to be a conversation about which races people pass but I got into my own mind.
