Value handicapping?
Hi Bill,
I was looking at these two winners, one of which I had, and wonder if your method is at all similar to the way I've been playing for years - just look for value. When you say 'gaps' I'm...

Non-correlated?
Hi Ernie,
I'm kind of surprised by what you say here, because this is just the kind of thing I was looking for in NP and never found. As we know th E1 horse, the one you are talking about does...

Thanks, Bill
Hi Bill,
Took me a while to realize that my original 'thank you' post here got busted. So I thought I would once again say thank you for the support for me you've expressed here. I also hope P&C...

Typical performance
Hi Pino,
Thanks very much for posting this TAM summary. I make the ROI from this to be .823 - pretty typical of what NP does in this odds range (remember Mike's provisional summary of a group of...

NP use still cloudy
Hi DM,
You claim that you're only using the 'range' feature of NP, but the example you cite uses the same criteria that NP would have used to pick a contender.
And of course, the non-contender...

I'm not holding my breath
Hi Mike,
I think Ted was a bit overly optimistic that there would be much research done on this product. NP has been out for nearly a year now - long enough for most users to realize that it's...

Maybe every hundred
Hi Rich,
Thanks for this update, but I think an update every one or two hundred races would be sufficient. My feeling is that the variance of NP's intra-track hit rate, as opposed to the...

Standard Sartin
Hi Jeff,
My contender selection is basically the same as my paceline selection. As I've written about a few time, I use the lines of the horses with the highest TEs within the last 100 days. This...

Clarity on NP
Hi DM,
I think I'm beginning to get a clearer idea of what you're saying now, but you don't make it easy. What you say about the way you eliminate obvious throwouts and use RDSS is clear, and...

Still doesn't make sense
DM,
What you say here seems to contradict a number of your handicapping examples in this thread. You open many of the with "a,b,c,d, horses out by NP elimination". So you begin by eliminating...

Your method seems random
Hi DM,
I have to admit that most of what you've written is this thread doesn't seem to hold together. First, the 95% confidence interval is a fairly useless way to measure the value of a horse's...

Thanks very much, this is exactly what I was looking for, and the inclusion of maidens or races with FTS is irrelevant. I think this should be useful to any paceandcap clients who are...

Looks promising
Hi Mike,
As you say, exactas look like a good direction to go in. Also, although NP hits at slightly above average here, the public is underbetting NP favorites. Useful information.
Thanks...

Actual loss is even worse

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your continuing work with NP. I had a chance to look at PARX, but not yet at TAM. Obviously, it's continuing to be a tough place for NP to succeed. If we figure that, for NP...

If someone else can answer my question that would be great, but I mentioned Ted because I believe he'll probably know the answer. As far as the way NP uses RDSS figures, I just wanted to know whether...
