Hi Pook

Speaking from my personal experience only, I often do really well early and then as I get tired, my winnings take a hit. You were up over $1000 after 3 races from what I can tell. Was there a difference between those races and the later ones? Were those distances or tracks you usually do better on? Do you track your winning percentage thru the day? Is it even through out the day over time? My charting shows I do better, much better actually, taking at least a day between handicapping sessions and keeping the sessions to 5 races or less. I am in poor health, so I do not have the concentration I used to, so it seems obvious in my case in retrospect. I am curious though if other people do better when they are fresh or do they do better as the day goes on and they spot patterns. Very brave posting real time handicapping, this is not a hobby for sissies, and neither is getting old as the lady said.

In my case, I am working on an AI assistant to help me stay consistent with my handicapping and take a lot of the record keeping load off my time. I am hoping this will free my brain to do more races and less of the grunt work of record keeping and analysis of betting. I am very curious how other people handle these things though if you don't mind sharing.

As I said, very brave to post in advance and thank you for that. May you be rewarded with some very good days ahead.

Dan
