Does this mean you choose the best of the most comparable races in the last ten races (within reason)?
I believe it means #1, but I just want to see if you're going back further than that...
By the way, Tremendous job on your selections. At least from what others in this thread are alluding to, you were once in the same spot that I currently am with my handicapping, so hopefully I can follow the same trajectory.

Poweshow, it means most comparable of the last 3 lines. It is rare i will ever go back 4 lines. The only times i do so i have found i tend to only do it in situations where the horses last two races were on sloppy or muddy tracks, then i will use the 3rd and 4th back line to choose from, but like i said 95% of the time my lines come from the last 3 races.
Let me point out a few things that i struggled with when i was in your position starting out. When selecting a line that was 3 races back, or 4 back, do not do this blindly. If the horse finished 8th by 10 and then 5th by 9 lengths its last two races, you should not go 3 lines back to the horses best career performance. I struggled with blindly selecting lines like these and it got me into trouble. If your going to go 3-4 races back, make sure the horses last race or second race back is a good effort.
Thanks for the kind words. I am probably the newest guy when it comes to this websites knowledgable members, although i have been studying the methodology intensely for the past 4 years, there are some guys here that have been doing it before i was even born 20 years ago!
one thing i can say is as you begin this journey of learning yourself and how to use RDSS in your own way, i suggest preparing your mind that just because RDSS is a tremendous program on its own, you will only get out what you put in. Last night i downloaded 2 cards from the same day, and had the results charts all ready to go. Just because the races weren't live and i couldn't bet my money, doesn't mean i cannot educate myself. I suggest you start your 20 race cycles and for every cycle focus on IMPROVING one thing every cycle, while also staying consistent. whatever it is you do when it comes to line selection, or selections, make sure you are consistent. I hope you get off to a great start and hope i can help in any way.
