Bill and Ted,

Thanks for the replies. I can understand the need to hide from a wager capping perspective if the user intends to play the top two ranked horses, regardless. In my case, I tend to look at all the horses on the BL/BL screen and look for races with vulnerable favorites, (ie. favorite not top ranked or if top ranked, the scores are within a narrow range.)

While I realize hiding is not a rule but more of a method, that seems to be the norm for many that use the software. I personally learned from watching Bill's great videos, and had he not taken the time to make them, I would have not known about all of this. Bill would hide horses, so I did. Guess I was kinda wondering if not hiding would make the readouts, indiscipherable. For me that has not been the case, but I was wondering about the experience of others here.

I suppose "hiding" is kinda like betting 2 horses to win. Many are successful playing that way while others prefer the different path.

Ted, I like the options you are setting up in RDSS as you mentioned. The software is coming along. Thanks again for the replies and I hope the many more knowledgeable veterans out there will chime in.

Jim
