Page 19 of the Yellow Manual states 63% AS THE AVERAGE, AND MANY CLIENTS MAINTAINED IT FOR A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS.
Now this is from the Manual itself, and there is talk of %'s elsewhere too, Something about not being above 60% or, you could not move on to the next level, these were the old days apparently, but why should the %'s change or drop dramaticly, this is what I read, and you tell me I'm dillusional, man that is cold, but maybe true as those numbers are pretty high, but they state them right here on Page 19 of the yellow manual and other places too, so I'd liked to believe it possible, why not???
Barb, do you really think that I need a class or book to learn Excell just good enough to use Richie's little workbook, or to make one very similar to Richie's, just not so many Factor's, as he has it laid out perfect, doesn't he, I think so, I just thought a quick IM or Mikago meeting once or twice and I'd have it working in no time, yet you seem to think it is too complicated for that, okay, then Video Proffessor it is, because a book really would do me no good, as Excell seems to complicated to grasp, too many new words for me, so I hear wonders about Vid. Prof. , just didn't really want to use it,but i guess I must.
Boy the happiness here goes away quickly doesn't it, oh well not too many horse players are that happy anyway, unless they are winning all the time, and who really does that, and then at what percentage, the public 30-34% of the time, Sartin Methodology above 60% , I HOPE.
thank you
