Dadams6357 thanks for the info. I have downloaded the Glossary and there is a lot to learn there. I also try to use the search feature here to find answers, that way sometimes I stumble onto something else I did not know. I will now try to get on here most days and read the new posts. Good suggestion.
AwesomeAgain thanks for the offer to help. Im sure I will need help. In fact, I have a question, how do I get more cards (I think that is what they are called) to import. I already used one up, I had 5, but I dont remember how I got them. I was going to use another card again today, but Parx is closed again, weather I think. I only want to bet Parx. I saw somewhere you should be familiar with the track you are betting.
Lt1, thanks for the tip on the key horse. I was thinking that I would bet on the Exacta at Parx boxing 4 horses. I think the cheapest I can get away with is $12.00, that is a little pricy for me right now. If I use a key bet the price, I think, is $6.00. I saw that Twinspires is offering $200 to sign up. That would give me 32 free Exacta key bets to practice. Of course, I must pay for the cards but that cant be too much. I notice you make a lot of informative posts, thanks for your work.

Welcome to the club Cedric
Being you said you're new to handicapping,
I would strongly suggest you do a test run
anywhere from 60 to 400 non-maiden races.
( I personally recommend 400 events.
Many of my friends here will tell you
60 to 100 is good enough; and it works
well for them ).
Pay attention to weather forecasts;
especially this time of year since
cancellations are more frequent.
Since you're using Twinspires
be certain to read this ---->
https://www.twinspires.com/freepps/
to take advantage of the PP's and reports they're offering
FOR FREE.....as long as you place ANY BET on that day's card.
Also, make sure to place a wager on Twinspires (even if it's a $1 show bet)
once a month or they will charge a $5
maintenance fee each month for inactivity
(that's a recent change in their policy).
Keep in mind:
-RDSS is an excellent tool, but it's not a black box of magic.
(Ted will tell you that too.)
-and, there's a lot to learn about our game.
