I remember you saying your best win % and ROI was on #3.

2-What downloads do you use to be able to keep unlimited daily cards economical?

taken a break from the manual match up off the paper pp's the last few days and started working with Validator again. Probably shouldn't go back and forth.

I need to go one way or the other very soon as I need to generate some income for myself and my son.
Thanks for you input.

#1 - #3 is far and away the most profitable. Folks have no clue whats going on in these race types. This includes ME quite often. Having said that when I do hit the avg win $ is over $15.00 and this is looking at a LARGE number of races.

#2 - I had been paying Trackmaster an unlimited 3 month subscription to their regular pp's for over a year before TM "comped" me a couple months back. This gives BOTH the .exe files used in Sartin software in addition to the Pdf's ones for traditional past performances. Less than $2.50 a day for all tracks in both formats when the 3 month unlimited is used.
==========================================================

ok now the easy stuff is out of the way.

When it comes to Validator there is NOBODY I know sharper than Bill Varone. Honest truth. NOBODY. Pick his brain man. He learned hands on from Doc in Socal.

Regarding WHICH path to take (form or software) I can only suggest you pick ONE and stick with it. I don't have all the answers but this one I am most certain of. Choose ONE.

I know of THREE people who make CONSISTENT money matching with the form (2 from Jim, the 3rd I met).

I know at least TWELVE people who make CONSISTENT money using SOFTWARE. What do the percentages tell you?

I can't be any more upfront than that ok?

Now there ARE many things that an understanding of the matchup BASICS
(5 step approach ESPECIALLY) WILL help software users with in my opinion.

Biggest "Hat Helper" by FAR:
Projecting a pace 1c and 2c (using adjusted is fine if done CONSISTENTLY)
Using that proj pace to select contenders/running lines

BASICS help you win races and put bread on the table.

Hope this helps you Lou.
