  • Gulfstream closing??
    To be clear... if the state allows them to have a casino without a race track, then the race track is history.

    Very ugly.
  • what is the best way to use the deT when there is an extreme track bias?
    @Jim Pommier,
    100%.
    In addition, when one keeps a track profile, they must be aware that the mix of running styles in a given race is a huge factor.

    For example, a Quirin ES Points race that had 8877 is far different than a race with 5433.

    This forces one to keep multiple models.

    Would your experience support that?
  • what is the best way to use the deT when there is an extreme track bias?
    How would you know there is a PACE bias?

    Are you keeping a model?
  • January is Difficult - in case you haven't noticed...
    Is it possible that in addition to the disrupted trainer schedules that have been discussed, the "winter racing" issues that we have seen for years are in part due to the simple physiological fact that some horses are just like humans and don't respond well to cold temperatures?Jeff Capper

    Of course!

    But you had me at:

  • UNBELIEVABLE UPDATE COMING!!
    Brian got another update today!

    Hoping for another on Thursday morning.

    It really is looking like way beyond what I had hoped for.

  • RESEARCH from HSH: aML 38% and above
    I'll find some docs for you.
    If you have Percentages & Probabilities they're all explained in there.
  • RESEARCH from HSH: aML 38% and above
    I tested 2 more segments of races with similar results but the QUALs were 45% wins and almost all short prices.

    Wound up with a $Net of $1.97 - not bad as a hedge.

    Did not track the losers but it was quite obvious that they were a huge losing proposition.

    Unlike the 1st sample, the ratio of plays was split with about 35% (qualified) and 65% (BALO). Many of the BALO races contained TWO horses. In fact, that was a big reason for the qualification.

    This is the kind of research that comes from the public session we did yesterday - it often turns into a giant whiteboard session which leads to new ideas for research.

    2. Be willing to share what you know, etc. with the group.

    3. Be a PROLIFIC PUBLIC POSTER who is committed to growing our community of horse bettors.

  • January is Difficult - in case you haven't noticed...
    While the number of races are small, if it is a trend, I imagine that it will go back to normal in the near future.

    This builds a case for some trend reporting.
  • Hey Dave!!! <About Weight Loss>


    Good to hear from you.

    I happen to know that you've done well with this.
    Tell the people how much weight you've lost.
  • It’s 5:30 am…

    Knowing that there are people who care is important to me.

    Thank you for the kind words.

    While I appreciate this, I want to make it clear that this post is about STOPPING THE BLEEDING far more than looking at how much blood there is.

    Sure, we have lots of battles and wars to fight... and the biggest of all is The Battle to Live.

    But this should be a time of victories for us.
    Whether it be success at the window, weight loss, strengthening self, general health or building wealth.

    I say that it is time to get stronger.
  • Positioning vs Beaten Lengths

    That was an interesting book.
    The 5+ points count was a real stroke of smarts and it6 is deeply embedded in DET (as well as HSH).

    I did not find the rest of the contender ideas to work well. I believe there are so factors in the field list that represent those.
