Been playing live races with real money off and on for a few months now. But I've paused several previous trials because I did not deem myself as "ready for prime time". The concepts that Brian has shared with us recently appear to have enabled me to break through. In baseball parlance, the guy's stuff is filthy!
My focus until recently had been to identify races with a strong low odds horse that I could play "on" with exacta bets instead of against. My hit rate was pretty good (57 to 60%) but my average returns were mediocre. I was basically treading water for a few months.
The "Brian stuff" from the AI Assistant has now given me the confidence to identify low odds horses to play against. About 10 days ago I decided to sacrifice some hit rate in favor of better exacta payoffs. That trade-off is currently proving to be very profitable. My hit rate has dipped to 50% but I'm cashing some huge exactas- 3x last week in the $150-plus range and a monster $365 tonight at MNR.
It's all in the "base" AI Assistant and Brian's subsequent LH/BALO buttons. I've taken a closer look at pace and jockey/trainer than I had been previously and have tried to take some of Brian's concepts and make them my own. Been alot of work but what thing worth achieving isn't?
This recent progress has come without even diving into the latest upgrade. Looking forward to seeing what Abby can do!
I’m making the jump to The DeTerminator. Looking forward to learning with you all. I’ve been an HSH user but work kept me from putting the time in. I’m now retired and going to put in the work to learn.
