21 days of plays
 

i am going to try and show a profit win betting over 3 weeks starting tomorrow.

my wife is saying i can't and the challenge is on. i will be looking at all kinds of races and tracks. hoping for at least a couple of plays a day.

i will post results for every race that i post and keep it up for the full 3 weeks til the end of the month.

i will keep everything in this one thread. betting starts tomorrow.

F.B.

Excellent project! Very best wishes to you, and kudos for trying it in public. I'm sure many people will be sending you encouragement.

wednesday
 

thank you ted for the positive thought.

i can not wait for scratches each day. 2 horses will be listed and bet to win in each race. if one of them scratches the other horses result will not count. i need 2 horses listed to run in the race for me to count it.

aqueduct race 7
#7 - stretches to a route for the first time. seems to fire best shot every 50 days and today is the day again

#2 - broke maiden 27 days ago 2 turns here on inner. longshot

gulfstream race 1
#4 - not crazy about running style but ships in for sharp trainer and prado gets aboard. working very strongly.

#7 - nice running style for this race. longshot

gulfstream race 5
#11 - might be coming up to a good race here. longshot

#9 - destroyed the field in last to break maiden. was it the slop? stretches to 6f today.

gulfstream race 7 (turf only)
#10 - if he runs back to race 2 back the race is his. jock change for this to cornelio.

#4 - should be up close to the pace and velasquez is excellent on these types. good numbers from that keeneland race 3 back.

gulfstream race 8
#3 - early presser goes 1st off the claim for good trainer.

#7 - last 2 on the dirt are pretty good.should also be up close in the running today

Keep at it Mr B

Please don't take this as a knock
The purpose here is to learn,win and help

I hope today's races make me look silly
however I notice a big varity of tracks your working
and some days your betting two horse other days
you are betting 1 ?
I wonder if your keeping some kind of records as to what you do best
at, and where ???

Bill

hi bill
my biggest problem among many is spending too much time on things regarding track this and track that. should be focused much more on finding good bets to be honest. thank you for your feedback.

Admirable, but
 

positng choices a day before the race is admirable, but the weather can change, a last minute scratch can knock out the only OTHER speed horse elevating a choice that might not have hung on otherwise to the lone early,,,,,,,not to mention it is impossible to calculate the odds: there may be several choice changes as odds make them unplayable...

Seems to be much more realistic to only make wagering choices on what IS, not what might be.

the way i picked horses over the 8 days did not matter when they were made.they lost and that has to always be the bottom line. thank you for your thoughts.

I wanted to stop cluttering the area with such poor picks and have gone back to basics using validator.
