Although winning methods can exist , which counter balance the effects of "random chance ", the "Holy Grail" cannot exist unless "chance" is completely eliminated. — William Zayonce
I have also learned that the Holy Grail is migratory. — RanchWest
Thought provoking Dave. I seem to recall you describing 'Whales' going through a similar process each year. — Tony Kofalt
Interesting.. we'll need to discover "Which " components to use and "How" to combine them, perhaps tossing in some "negative enhancement" features ? — William Zayonce
2022 EOY results
2022 handle was down over 50% from prior year(s)
Year end total ROI was exactly 20% and the $Net was 2.4.
Highest $Net of 3.4 was achieved wagering on P5's
Second highest $Net of 2.37 came from Win bets
I was a loser in both P3 and P4 wagering pools with $Nets of 0.86 and 1.66 respectively.
Observations:
Reduced handle was due my struggle with anxiety and depression.
Low $Net in P3 and P4 wagers was a surprise. Appears to be due to poor decisions regarding value.
Handle on Win bets was up significantly from prior years as was the profit!!
P5's continue to be my most profitable plays — Tony Kofalt
Life begins anew at 72...LOL. — Mickey Arnold
don't understand. Is that for horse racing? Update what? Odds? Parimutuel odds? — RanchWest
Of course ,I'm aware that the participation rate will necessarily fluctuate from pool to pool, which is why I suggested "average" participation. Am I correct in assuming that the ROI of +7.5% to 9% is factoring in the rebates? — William Zayonce
The "process" is certainly not unique but it's objective is find selections which are "unique in that field". A white horse is not unique (there are plenty of white horses in the world) however ,a white horse in a field of horses which are not white is unique in that field. This is,of course, not a relevant handicapping factor ( unless we know that white horses run faster than nonwhite ones and a large portion of players can't see that it's white ) — William Zayonce
