  • Error -- Moving an Object

    Fixed the verbiage in the next release.
  • Error -- Moving an Object
    That's exactly correct.
    Although the word should be "report" instead of selector.

    You MUST load a single report.
  • National Treasure Was a BALO - Scored $96 winner
    dave what is the exact definition of a dominant odds horse?Jim Michalak

    A horse projected to be below 1.22 to 1.

    (It's actually in the Chaos 1 explanation.)
  • National Treasure Was a BALO - Scored $96 winner
    the whitney was chaos 1Jim Michalak

    Was the Fav a Dominant Odds horse?

    I am assuming so.
  • National Treasure Was a BALO - Scored $96 winner
    i was going to add this to pony's invaluable list of how to use the new tote button but the thread was closed. after you find the track and race you are playing select "pools." my browser was defaulting to "program."Jim Michalak

    It defaults to what you SAVED or what you visited last.
  • Definitions = A Thesaurus of deTerminator concepts
    There is a clear explanation at the bottom of that window.

    LEGEND
    G = GOOD RACE on similar surface, approx distance, this level or HIGHER.
    B = BAD RACE on similar surface, approx distance, this level or LOWER.
    (off track races are forgiven.)
    . = any other race.


    After looking at this, do you still have questions?
  • DET_Races dropdown descriptions
    This will take some serious explaining.
    Next Q & A session.
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    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.
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    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?"
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires


    Sorry if you did not appreciate my answer.
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    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.
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    First a question for you.

    Are you seriously considering a purchase or just curious?
  • Saratoga - Off TwinSpires
    That’s a shame.
  • no early scratches for ellis park; r1 in 40 minutes
    It just happens.
    The data comes from EqB.
    Keep trying.
  • Update - As of July 28
    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.
  • Update - As of July 28
    As of Sunday, July 28

    Exacta Paste Works!

    Next is Results.
  • EARLY or LATE
    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.
  • EARLY or LATE
    @Jim Parker
    Your answer is the RED pace object.

    Plus/minus 1 call.
