I agree with this statement 100 %. It is NOT the program but the user which will determine success.I wasted 10 years and thousands of $ on Books, Tapes, Programs , thinking that all you need to do is keep buying more stuff and I would become a winner. Boy was I WRONG, it was MY lack of mastering the game ( or method of handicapping ) that WAS preventing me from winning. The problem was all along in that grey area between my ears.
What I did was pick the one program that I was confortable with and MASTER it like no one else can. I found that the winner was 80 to 90 % of the time in one or the other ratings ( EPR or FFR).I picked the most simple program in my arsenal Total Pace Ratings and learned its strenghts and weaknesses . With this simple program I KNOW which races to AVOID ( the program will not get the winner ) and now which races to go after ( crush them ) . I also know All the intangibles and How to vary my approach WITH this program, sort of like a PRO GOLFER who knows when to put a spin on his golf ball when the situation calls for it. He can hit a golf ball many different ways with the same club. Depending upon the race shape make up of the race I will vary my use of this program in a number of ways.
In the end it ALL comes down to selecting the most predictable Pace lines, if you can do this with disipline and good betting you can win with almost any program.
