This will take some serious explaining.
Next Q & A session.

Of course! 20 minutes of your time is worth far too much to spend on questions. — William Zayonce

That might be of interest to your customers. — William Zayonce

But, alas, you're not a customer, are you?
Nor are you seriously interested in becoming a customer.

Yet, I should put your needs in front of the actual customers?
I don't think so.

My list of questions is growing. Shall I pose them individually or as a group? — William Zayonce

The above certainly didn't sound like a 20-minute phone call would do it.
____________
I've been in business a long time.
Long enough to recognize when there is someone who cannot be satisficed with REASONABLE effort.

It would appear that we've reached a place of diminishing returns.

Quite the contrary ,Dave. Its not the answer that I hoped for but it is the one that I expected. After all, questions pertinent to your product can only help to serve your customers. Right? — William Zayonce

You may choose to see it that way but, no, that's not right.

I've never been stingy with sharing ideas - even truly original stuff. I even share the research behind it.

This is about resources.
Recall that I offered you one-on-one time to address your questions.

I'm in serious development mode. Between now and Christmas, I probably have another 800+ hours I need to put in to get the program to where it should be.

If I spend that time answering your many questions, I am choosing your questions over my clients' needs. That would be the wrong priority.

Not too long ago, I had someone purchase Percentages & Probabilities, 2012. He emailed me and said that he had a few questions and that we could "probably wrap them up in about an hour."

He went on to say that he thought if we could make a standing appointment every other week he was sure I'd be able to answer all of his questions in just a FEW WEEKS.

I pointed out to him that when you purchase a book, you do not get lifetime access to the author.

It is a simple fact that I could not afford to have him as a customer.

Anyone who cannot see the folly in this man's thinking, has to be amazingly obtuse.

Respectfully, the real question is, "Can you see the similarity between your thinking and his?"

Sorry if you did not appreciate my answer.

Thank you for your honesty.

Understand that my highest priority is, and will continue to be for quite a while, to serve the current clients’ needs through continued development.

Secondary to that would be people who are seriously considering the software.

Perhaps a phone call would best serve your questions and still allow me to serve my priorities.

First a question for you.

Are you seriously considering a purchase or just curious?

That’s a shame.

It just happens.
The data comes from EqB.
Keep trying.

Not until the upgrade is available.
Still have more to do.

The next upgrade is the OUT OF BETA upgrade, so it's a big deal.

It will be a completely fresh install.

As of Sunday, July 28

Exacta Paste Works!

Next is Results.

You guys are all right!
The way this works...

The RED OBJECT
i.e. E=1st call, EP=2nd, LP=Not E, SR=Not E or EP.
... predicts the running style of the race.

Another way to look at it is:
_________________
RED E Means should be 1st call, possibly 2nd call, but not likely later.
_________________
RED EP Means should be 2nd call, but could be 1st or 3rd call.
_________________
RED LP Means could be anything after 1st call.
_________________
RED SR Means should be Str Call or Last Furlong, but might be as early as 2nd call.
_________________
Pay special attention to the SHOULDS versus the COULDS.

@Jim Parker
Your answer is the RED pace object.

Plus/minus 1 call.

As of Saturday, July 27.

1. Odds Paste Works
2. Scratches work.

Next is exactas.

I cut the screen down.

Very interesting, this explains a new screen that I'm seeing "Entries" when I'm looking at yesterday's races. — Jim Parker

That one isn't new.

Still writing code, but...

Imagine Scotty's voice...

A GLOSSARY is a great idea

As they should be, yes.

The Odds are derived from the projected pool percentages, therefore they should be the same $nets and grades.

My question: How to create a report to determine if a horse is dropping in class today? Also, class in general-- a report to show which horses have the best class (maybe a ranking). — Jim Pommier

Yes.
That's what I was referring to.
We'll get to it tonight.
