Mick: Sartin gained tremendous knowledge from reading books authored by those of higher learning. E.g. Chaos (Making a New Science), Order of chaos, Change and Chaos. Result was Entropy. And other books that inspired him to reinvent the wheel for horseracing with additional concepts.


gl45: 1. Your review in post 9 of this thread was spot on. I wasn't impressed by those reviews. What do they know about the science of math. Most likely their review was heavily weighted toward editing such as sentence structure and spelling. Now if it were reviewed by some math professor's or peers from the profession there would be some meat on the bone to digest.



2. "Of particular interest is his assertion that the past has a significant effect on the present and future. To explain this he uses an example of two men playing a best-of-three backgammon series. After the first match, the player in the lead has a 75% chance of winning the series, while the player who lost the first game has only a 25% chance of winning. He attributes this concept to Blaise Pascal, who is considered the father of probability theory."


Now if this was true the Tandem Concept would be the bomb and much more effective than it is. There are those on the site that do extremely well with the Tandem but not 75% as Saliu states. There is some truth in this just not the 75% he states in 2 above.


I gave up the Tandem years ago. Did hit some good paying horses with it. All I can say is it wins when it does. Sartin and Bradshaw did hone it into a valid concept, I just found other Factors to be more profitable.
