How are you recreating the '88 thing'? As you can imagine there's lots of proprietary stuff in Det that would be nearly impossible to recreate on your own. And the 88% is just the tip of the iceberg.
So, first, I recommend that you prove to yourself that your group of '88%' horses actually have at least an 88% chance of including the winner. After that, figure out how to winnow that down to the number of horses you want to bet.

Jimmy, hope you're breathing easier soon. :wink:

Glad everything went well and I look forward to you posting more good results.

Cheers

I'm interested too. reddotknavedot1atgmaildotcom.
I've been scattershot with this new tool so far and need to see a path to give me some structure. Thanks for starting this.

That was hilarious. Thanks Brian.

This bettor says 'You better get better!'

Take care and keep hydrated.

The FG race was pretty impossible but not the AQU race. The Big Brian objects rated the horse a 1-7. If you had boxed the five 1s you get the exacta and tri. 1s are always dangerous.

An udderly hilarious featherweight match.

That's pretty normal in that environment. Kudos to you for realizing it and I bet you're formulating a new process to deal with it. All the best tomorrow.

Be skillful! All the best to Ram as well.

Rook was (maybe still is) a very anal superfecta bettor.
The whole thread Dave links to is worth a read. I remember him from the HSH board.

I bet you still see popups too!

Cheers

First of all, my deepest most heartfelt condolences. I can't imagine what that must feel like.

You two are in my prayers. Fight on.

This is unbelievably sad news. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I didn't know him personally but I can see and feel the effect he has had on all of us. He will be sorely missed.

Also, the #1, Queen Daymar, is rank 1, magnitude 1, yet is a grade A+ ? That made no sense. I did not have her as a contender. I use the 0Whales report plus 'Ira's object' (posted elsewhere in this forum) and select Reynolds2 horses that have a value of 1 or 2 as contenders.
I realize that the post was not about this particular horse but I just wanted to be thorough.

This is an interesting race for a couple of reasons.
It shows the value of looking for a BALO and what to do if the high percentage horse(s) is not a BALO. I require a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 contenders. In this race I was only able to find 3. I used the collective speed/collective power lists (click the 'Deep' button to see them) and the 4 horse, Streaking Grey, fit the bill as a 4th contender. The high percentage horse wins at 3/5 and the 4 is second at 20-1and the exactor pays $34.
I'm coming around to the BALO concept. If a top pct horse is a BALO I may still take it on top over my other contenders if it's real odds make it betable. Mostly, though, I make them place horses only.
In this race, I took the legit nonBALO high pct horse, #2, with 3 others at $2 each and then reverse them over the high pct horse at $1.
The lowest paying exactor, 2 over 8, was paying $10 so I went with it. I'll get better at betting eventually. :wink:

@Dave Schwartz
Okay, I understand.

Yes, mine is set to show maxes of 3 and 2 but Jim gets blanks for odds, pct, $net and Opt%. I know why my rank & mag were blank.
I see that you can post a screen shot, when I try it nothing pastes. What are you doing different?

Parx R9, the 5 and 7 show odds for me but, again, no rank or mag. In neither race could I make the missing horses contenders even though here they finished 1st & 3rd. :wink:

That race happened to be my big winner yesterday. The #6 shows odds, pct etc on my system but no rank or magnitude.

Jim, what was the other race that had blanks?
edit - okay I see it was race 9, let me look at it.

Dave, is there a way to paste a graphic into a post on this forum?

We need at least one post here in order to send a PM. This is mine.
